7
None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
8
If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
9
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;
11
for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."
12
So each of us shall give account of himself to God.
