Romans 14:11
Douay-Rheims
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Isai. xlv. 24 ; Philip, ii. 10. The prophet has: " every tongue shall swear:" but this was deemed an act of praise and homage to God. The prophet speaks in the name of Jehova, the Supreme Being. St. Paul applies the words to Christ, whose Divinity is thus declared.
