So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.

The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.

The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.

In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death.

For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;

But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.

Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death.

But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.
