And God said, Let
waters bring forth abundantly
moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above
earth in
open firmament of heaven. And to every beast of
earth, and to every fowl of
air, and to every thing that creepeth upon
earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And
Lord God formed man of
dust of
ground, and breathed into his nostrils
breath of life; and man became a living soul. And they went in unto Noah into
ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is
breath of life.
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget
things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all
days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; that thou mightest fear
Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all
days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. That thou mayest love
Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and
length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in
land which
Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
The Spirit of God hath made me, and
breath of
Almighty hath given me life. Thou wilt shew me
path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
days of my life: and I will dwell in
house of
Lord for ever.
One thing have I desired of
Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in
house of
Lord all
days of my life, to behold
beauty of
Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For with thee is
fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Yet
Lord will command his lovingkindness in
daytime, and in
night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto
God of my life. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy
good of all his labour that he taketh under
sun all
days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. For he shall not much remember
days of his life; because God answereth him in
joy of his heart.
My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for
fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Because strait is
gate, and narrow is
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in
world to come eternal life. For even
Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
In him was life; and
life was
light of men. For God so loved
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that believeth on
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
Son shall not see life; but
wrath of God abideth on him.
But whosoever drinketh of
water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but
water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. For as
Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
Son to have life in himself. Search
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Labour not for
meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which
Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God
Father sealed.
For
bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto
world. And Jesus said unto them, I am
bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. And this is
will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth
Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at
last day.
I am that bread of life. I am
living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and
bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for
life of
world.
It is
spirit that quickeneth;
flesh profiteth nothing:
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am
good shepherd:
good shepherd giveth his life for
sheep.
