Corruption » Physical decomposition » After death
You will eat your food by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground. You came from the ground. For dust you are and to dust you will return.
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was. The spirit (life) will return to God who gave it.
If I say to the pit: You are my father! And to the worm: You are my mother and sister!
You do not abandon me to the grave or allow your holy one to decay.
Because you will not leave me in the grave, neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. (Psalm 16:10)
You hide your face, and they are frightened. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.
I went down to the bottom of the mountains! The earth with its bars closed upon me for a very long time. Yet you have brought my life up from the pit, O Jehovah my God?
He seeing this before spoke about the resurrection of Christ. That he would not be left in the grave and his flesh did not see corruption.
He raised him up from the dead, never to decay. It is stated in these words: I will give you the sure blessings promised David. (Isaiah 55:3) He said in another psalm: You will not allow your Holy One to see decay. (Ps 16:10) After David served his own generation by doing the will of God he died and was buried with his fathers. His body decayed. read more.
But he (Jesus), whom God raised again, saw no decay.
But he (Jesus), whom God raised again, saw no decay.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption. It is raised in incorruption.
Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Corruption may not inherit incorruption.
Dust » Man made from
Jehovah God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. The man became a living being.
You will eat your food by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground. You came from the ground. For dust you are and to dust you will return.
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was. The spirit (life) will return to God who gave it.
For he knows our conception and he remembers that we are dust.
Then Abraham answered and said: Indeed now, I who am only dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to Jehovah:
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
Favoritism » The lord not respecting persons (not showing favoritism)
You masters, do the same things to them. Do not threaten! You know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven. There is no favoritism with him.
They sent their disciples with the Herodians to Jesus. They said: Teacher we know you are truthful. You teach the way of God in truth. And you are not partial to the influence of men.
Jehovah your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords! He is the great, the powerful, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice. Who gave God authority over the earth? Who has laid on him the entire world? If He should determine to do so, If He should gather to himself his spirit and his breath, read more.
All flesh would perish and man would return to dust. But if you understand, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words. Shall one who hates justice rule? And will you condemn the righteous Mighty One? Should anyone even say to a king: You good-for-nothing scoundrel! Or to nobles, you wicked people! The one who is righteous and mighty does not grant special favors to princes or prefer important people to poor people because his hands made them all. They die suddenly in the middle of the night. People have seizures and pass away. Mighty people are taken away but not by human hands.

Teacher, they said, we know that you are truthful, and not concerned about what other people think. You truthfully teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
Teacher, they said, we know that you are right in what you say and teach. You are not partial and do not play favorites. Rather you teach the way of God truthfully.
Peter opened his mouth, and said, I truly perceive that God shows no partiality.
God is not partial! (God does not play favorites!)
You know that God will give you the reward of the inheritance when you serve the Master, Christ. For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong that he has done. There is no partiality.
Be holy in all your conduct, just as the one who called you is holy. Because it is written: You shall be holy for I am holy. If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time you spend here in reverence.
Flesh » The flesh
My flesh and my heart fail: God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life.
All people are like grass. All their glory is like the blossom of a flower. The grass withers and the flower drops off.
A voice shouts: Cry out! And I said: What shall I cry? The voice shouts: All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of Jehovah blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
Watch and pray continually that you do not enter into temptation!
To avoid temptation watch and pray. The spirit truly is willing but the flesh is weak.
Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.
I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. These are in opposition to one another that you may not do the things that you would. But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under the Law. read more.
Now the works of the flesh (sinful human nature) are apparent. They are: fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, wrath, contentions, divisions, sects, envies, drunkenness, revelries, and things like these. I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that those who practice such things would not inherit the kingdom of God.

Poverty » The lord being the maker of the poor
The rich and the poor meet together (are alike) (have a common bond) for Jehovah created them both.
Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face down on the ground. He said: I was born with nothing (naked), and I will die with nothing. Jehovah gave, and now he has taken away. Blessed be the name of Jehovah!
Jehovah takes away and He gives riches. He brings low and lifts up high.

You are great and powerful, glorious, splendid, and majestic. Everything in heaven and earth is yours, and you, O Jehovah, are king, supreme ruler over all. All riches and wealth come from you. You rule everything by your strength and power. You are able to make anyone great and strong.
Jehovah takes away and He gives riches. He brings low and lifts up high.

When you succeed do not brag: 'I am rich. I earned it all myself.' Remember that Jehovah your God gives you the strength to make a living. That is how he keeps the promise he made to your fathers.
