'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?

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?

for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance.

and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'

neither by the hands of men is He served -- needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;

And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced him, said, 'Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'

but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth -- which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem -- know do all the Jews,

and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship;

to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.

So, then, as through one offence to all men it is to condemnation, so also through one declaration of 'Righteous' it is to all men to justification of life;

that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.

And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death;

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

'Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;'
