Romans 14:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ None of us lives only to please ourselves. And we do not die to please ourselves. ⁸ While we live, we want to please the Lord. And when we die, we want that to please the Lord too. So, while we live, or if we die, we continue to belong to the Lord. ⁹ Christ died and then he became alive again. That happened so that he could be the Lord of all people, those who have died and those who are still alive.
