'Life' in the Bible

saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died -- those seeking the life of the child.'

'Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.

for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,

for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

'And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during.

'And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire.

And lo, one having come near, said to him, 'Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?'

And he said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one is good except One -- God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.'

and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my name's sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during shall inherit;

even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'
