Romans 14:7
5 One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
