Romans 14:9 Context
7For none of vs liueth to himselfe, and no man dieth to himselfe. 8For whether we liue, we liue vnto the Lord: and whether wee die, we die vnto the Lord: whether wee liue therefore or die, we are the Lords. 9For to this ende Christ both died, and rose, and reuiued, that hee might be Lord both of the dead and liuing. 10But why doest thou iudge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? wee shall all stand before the Iudgement seat of Christ. 11For it is written, As I liue, saith the Lord, euery knee shall bow to mee, and euery tongue shall confesse to God.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 14:9
Ro 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived. The life of the Christian is a new life that springs out of Christ's death; we die with him; we rise with him (Ro 6:4). That he might be Lord of the dead and living. Hence, since our life comes from him, and springs from his death and resurrection, these make him our Lord, whether we be living or dead.
