⁶He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

          7For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
          8If 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.
          9For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
