Life

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

“Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”

“Will you lay down your life for Me?” Jesus replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”

When they heard this, they had no further objections, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.

But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.

To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.

For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.

Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

…whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

To the one we are an odor that brings death, to the other a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?

And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.

So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

For while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.

The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.

…to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

…“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

…as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

…because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.

Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have contended at my side for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.

Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

…treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

…so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

…one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.

Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.

And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
