Romans 14:10

Jesus
Mercy and compassionHumilityJudgmentFellowship and the church

8 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 reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle 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.”

12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
