And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

And the remnant took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and slew them.

Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul:

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And saith to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful to death: tarry ye here, and watch.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

(And a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

Who was the son of Serug, who was the son of Reu, who was the son of Peleg, who was the son of Heber, who was the son of Sala,

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay and persecute:

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.

And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption:

He seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.

And it shall come to pass, that every soul who will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree:

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed them to prison.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,

And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (even Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.

And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

Then Saul (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Came to me, and stood, and said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we lanched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

For I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.

If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was made a vivifying spirit.

Moreover, I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I have not as yet come to Corinth.

For behold this very thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath incited very many.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.

For I bear him testimony, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;

But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy, and sell, and get gain:

Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
