Yet I make no account of any [suffering], nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.

And I have written unto you for this very purpose, that I might not, when I come to you, have sorrow from those in whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.

For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;

I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

For this cause I tell you, Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life of more value than meat, and the body than raiment?

He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.

For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

To the one we are the odour of death unto death, to the other the odour of life unto life: and who is sufficient for these things?

For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve it.

I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.

(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.
