personal account

Romans 14 

7 For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. 

8 If we live, 

it’s to honor the Lord. 

And if we die, 

it’s to honor the Lord. 

So whether we live or die, 

we belong to the Lord. 

9 Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—

to be Lord both of the living and of the dead.

10 So why do you condemn another believer? 

Why do you look down on another believer? 

Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 

11 For the Scriptures say,

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bend to me,
    and every tongue will declare allegiance to God.’”

12 Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
