Romans 14:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
In context
7 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.
10 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.”
