7 The Lord God shaped the man Adam* from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.

13 You made me from the inside out,* shaping me in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!

15 My growing body* was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together "in the depths of the earth."*

16 You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.

9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.

33 I will sing to the Lord for as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God my whole life.

6 Jesus replied, "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, kill, and destroy. I've come to bring you life, life full to overflowing.

25 Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die. 26 All who live in me and trust in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

35 "I am the bread of life," Jesus replied. "Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry again, and anyone who trusts in me will never be thirsty again.

38 If you trust in me, you will have streams of life-giving water flowing out from within you, as Scripture says."*

20 I've been crucified with Christ— so it's no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me, and who gave himself for me.

12 Teach us to value every one of our days so we can live wisely!

10 Listen, my son, if you accept what I tell you, then you will live a long life.

23 Most of all, protect your mind, for everything in life flows from it.

23 Most of all, protect your mind, for everything in life flows from it.

8 If you become wise, you have good self-esteem; if you learn good sense you'll be successful.

3 Watch what you say and save your life—saying too much leads to disaster.

17 If you accept instruction, you're on the path to life, but if you reject correction you'll go astray.

27 Respecting the Lord is like a fountain of life, so you can avoid the snares of death.

21 If you pursue goodness and trustworthy love, you'll find life, prosperity, and honor.

15 So be careful how you live your life, not foolishly, but wisely, 16 making the best use of opportunities because the days are evil.

4 Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.

6 I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

26 My body and my mind may fail, but God is the foundation of my life. He is mine forever!

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.

3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your reputation, please lead me and guide me.

4 I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about his Temple.

7 Be still in God's presence; wait patiently for him. Don't be upset over people who prosper when they carry out their evil schemes.

93 I will never forget your instructions, for through them you give me life.

25 That's why I'm telling you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about what to eat, or what to drink, or what clothes to put on. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds*—they don't sow or reap or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they are? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a minute to your life?

36 What use is it for you to gain everything in the whole world, and lose your life?

34 Jesus called the crowd and his disciples over to him, and told them, "If you want to follow me, you must give up on yourselves, pick up your cross and follow me. 35 If you want to save your life you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me and the good news you will save it.

36 What use is it for you to gain everything in the whole world, and lose your life? 37 What would you give in exchange for your life? 38 If you're ashamed to acknowledge* me and what I say among this unfaithful and sinful people,* then the Son of man will be ashamed to acknowledge you when he comes with his Father's glory with the holy angels."

15 "Watch out, and beware of all greedy thoughts and actions, for a person's life isn't summed up by all the things they own."

3 Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent.

23 The wage sin pays is death, but God's free gift is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect.

7 (For we live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.)

14 Do your best to live in peace with everybody, and look for holiness—if you don't have this you won't see the Lord.

11 Try to live a quiet life, minding your own business, doing your own work, as we've already explained to you, 12 so that your way of life may be respected by non-Christians and you won't have to rely on anyone to provide what you need.

23 Do whatever you do really well, as if you're doing it for God, and not for people, 24 because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You're serving Christ the Lord!

12 Happy is anyone who patiently endures temptation, for when they've proved that they are trustworthy, they will receive the crown of life which God promises to those who love him.

13 Who among you has wisdom and understanding? Let their good lives demonstrate what they do—doing what is right with wise kindness and consideration.

10 Remember: "Those who want to love life, and to see good days, must refrain from speaking evil, and not tell lies. 11 Turn away from evil and do good; search for peace—run after it!

6 Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

1 Everything has its own time—a time for all that happens here:*

16 I'm telling you today to love the Lord your God, to follow his ways, and to keep his commandments, rules, and regulations, so you can live and grow in number, and so the Lord your God may bless you in the country that you are entering and will own.

12 Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

10 We live for seventy years—eighty if we have the strength. But even in the prime of life all that we have is hardship and suffering. Soon our lives are over and we're gone.

4 Lord, remind me.* How short is my life? How long do I have? Remind me how quickly my life will pass.

5 Just look at the tiny amount of days you have given me! In your eyes my whole lifetime is like nothing. Our lives here are just a breath… Selah.

6 Human beings are just shadows walking around. They pointlessly rush through life, trying to pile up possessions without knowing who will get them.

12 Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?

13 Then don't let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.

14 Reject what is evil, do what is good. Look for peace, and work to make it a reality.

31 Gray hair is a glorious crown; it's achieved by living right.

19 Just as water reflects your face, your mind reflects who you really are.*
