8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
10 So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written: 'As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.'
12 And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.
