Bible Quote Apr 24th Romans 14:11

“It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’”” - Romans 14:11

===
Paul was writing to Rome from Corinth. He had Tertius of Iconium write this while he dictated. Paul had established a number of churches around the Greek seas in the decade leading up to the letter. Rome was the then undisputed capital of the 'known world.'

Here, Paul is referring to the transformation of believers. A transformation of the mind. Because the believer had been raised under the law, but now showed devotion to God directly, not through mere obedience to law, obedience which had always failed.
