'Living' in the Bible

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the suffering we experienced in Asia. We were so crushed beyond our ability to endure that we even despaired of living.

To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

You are demonstrating that you are the Messiah's letter, produced by our service, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

I beg you that when I come I will not need to be courageous by daring to oppose some people who think that we are living according to the flesh.

Of course, we are living in the world, but we do not wage war in a world-like way.

Finally, brothers, goodbye. Keep on growing to maturity. Keep listening to my appeals. Continue agreeing with each other and living in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
