'Alive' in the Bible

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

While we are alive, we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be clearly shown in our mortal bodies.

Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord --

So then whether we are alive or away, we make it our ambition to please him.

as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet as you see very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,

For even though He was crucified in weakness [yielding Himself], yet He lives [resurrected] by the power of God [His Father]. For we too are weak in Him [as He was humanly weak], yet we are alive and well [in fellowship] with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.
