5One person judges one day above another day, while another judges every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

6The one who observes the day, observes it for the Lord. And the one who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

7For none of us lives for himself, and none dies for himself.

8For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

9For to this end Messiah died and lived again, so that he might rule over both the dead and the living.
