'Living' in the Bible

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him by his good conduct show his [good] deeds with the gentleness and humility of true wisdom.

But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

On the earth you have lived luxuriously and abandoned yourselves to soft living and led a life of wanton pleasure [self-indulgence, self-gratification]; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
