Romans 14:7
Compare all
5 aOne person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.  
6 He who aobserves the day, observes it to the Lord;1 and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for bhe gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.  
7 For anone of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.  
8 For if we alive, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.  
9 For ato this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be bLord of both the dead and the living.  
10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For awe shall all stand before the judgment seat of1 Christ.  
11 For it is written:
a“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”  
12 So then aeach of us shall give account of himself to God.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Romans 14:7:

Romans 14:7-13

It is our responsibility to the church community to understand that we are answerable to God for how we act toward our brother even though we have the truth. We do not live to ourselves. Remember I said to you the Bible approaches things from the perspective that the community is greater and more important and has greater priority than the individual. The reason for that is that as an act of faith we see God as ruling over all. We are indeed answerable first to God, but we are not to be insensitive to our brother's feelings about things. Paul calls that judging and being contemptuous.
