Rom 14:8 (NIV) If we live,
we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.
So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For
this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that
he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. 10
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you
look down on your brother? For we will all stand before
God's judgment seat. 11 It is written: " 'As surely
as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow
before me; every tongue will confess to God.'" {[11]
Isaiah 45:23}
