Romans 14:11

We can read this in God’s book, “God says that this will happen, for sure. Everybody will get down on their knees in front of him to give him respect. And everybody will say that God is really good. They will say that he is the only great God.”

Plain English Version

In The King James Version

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

In Context

10So then it is God, not you, that can tell other Christians that they are wrong. You can’t think that you are better than any other Christian. No. We’ve all got to stand in front of God one day. Then God will tell each of us the things that we did right and the things that we did wrong.

12That means that one day every one of us will have to face God and tell him all about everything that we ever did.

Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5… Read the whole commentary →
