“For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.”
Romans 14:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. 8For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11For it is written,“‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow.Every tongue will confess to God.’”
