7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.*

13 For You formed my inmost being;*

You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise You,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Marvelous are Your works,

and I know this very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You

when I was made in secret,

when I was woven together

in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all my days were written in Your book

and ordained for me

before one of them came to be.

9 For with You is the fountain of life;

in Your light we see light.

33 I will sing to the LORD all my life;

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

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

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies. 26 And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

35 Jesus answered, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’"

20 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.

12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may present a heart of wisdom.

10 Listen, my son, and receive my words,

and the years of your life will be many.

23 Guard your heart with all diligence,

for from it flow springs of life.

23 Guard your heart with all diligence,

for from it flow springs of life.

8 He who acquires wisdom loves himself;

one who safeguards understanding will find success.

3 He who guards his mouth protects his life,

but the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,

but he who ignores reproof goes astray.

27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,

turning a man from the snares of death.

21 He who pursues righteousness and loving devotion

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD;

teach me Your paths.

6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

forever.*

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength* of my heart

and my portion forever.

7 The LORD will guard you from all evil;

He will preserve your soul.

8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going,

both now and forevermore.

3 For You are my rock and my fortress;

lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

4 One thing I have asked of the LORD;

this is what I desire:

to dwell in the house of the LORD

all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the LORD

and seek Him in His temple.

7 Be still before the LORD

and wait patiently for Him;

do not fret when men prosper in their ways,

when they carry out wicked schemes.

93 I will never forget Your precepts,

for by them You have revived me.

25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?*

36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

34 Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, "If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.

36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels."

15 And He said to them, "Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

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

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

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you. 12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.

23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

12 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.

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

10 For,

"Whoever would love life

and see good days

must keep his tongue from evil

and his lips from deceitful speech.

11 He must turn from evil and do good;

he must seek peace and pursue it.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!

Hallelujah!

1 To everything there is a season,

and a time for every purpose under heaven:

16 For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.

12 Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.*

10 The length of our days is seventy years —

or eighty if we are strong —

yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,

for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

4 "Show me, O LORD, my end

and the measure of my days.

Let me know how fleeting my life is.

5 You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths,

and my lifetime as nothing before You.

Truly each man at his best

exists as but a breath.

Selah

6 Surely every man goes about like a phantom;

surely he bustles in vain;

he heaps up riches

not knowing who will haul them away.

12 Who is the man who delights in life,

who desires to see good days?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from deceitful speech.

14 Turn away from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.

31 Gray hair is a crown of glory;

it is attained along the path of righteousness.

19 As water reflects the face,

so the heart reflects the true man.
