You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

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

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we joy for your sakes before our God;

He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?

He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

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

He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives them life; even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

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

It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

To the one we are the fragrance of death unto death; and to the other the fragrance of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
