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

13 For You created my innermost parts;

You wove me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will give thanks to You, because *I am awesomely and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well.

15 My *frame was not hidden from You

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully formed in the depths of the earth;

16 Your eyes have seen my formless substance;

And in Your book were written

All the days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them.

9 For the fountain of life is with You;

In Your light we see light.

33 *I will sing to the Lord*as long as I live;

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

6 Jesus *said to him, "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 came so that they would have life, and *have it abundantly.

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

35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty.

38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘*From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ "

20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and *the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and *the life which I now live in the flesh 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 to You a heart of wisdom.

10 Listen, my son, and accept my sayings,

And the years of your life will be many.

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For from it flow the springs of life.

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For from it flow the springs of life.

8 One who gets *wisdom loves his own soul;

One who keeps understanding will find good.

3 One who guards his mouth protects his life;

One who opens wide his lips *comes to ruin.

17 One who is on the path of life follows instruction,

But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray.

27 *The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,

By which one may avoid the snares of death.

21 One who pursues righteousness and loyalty

Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

15 So then, *be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, 16 *making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

4 Make me know Your ways, Lord;

Teach me Your paths.

6 *Certainly goodness and *faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life,

And my dwelling will be 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 *protect you from all evil;

He will keep your soul.

8 The Lord will *guard your going out and your coming in

From this time and forever.

3 For You are my rock and my fortress;

For the sake of Your name You will lead me and guide me.

4 One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

To behold the *beauty of the Lord

And to *meditate in His temple.

7 *Rest in the Lord and wait *patiently for Him;

Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way,

Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.

93 I will never forget Your precepts,

For by them You have *revived me.

25 "For this reason I say to you, *do not be worried about your *life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?27 And which of you by worrying can add a single *day to his *life’s span?

36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

34 And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, 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 the gospel’s will save it.36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?37 For what could a person give in exchange for his soul?38 For whoever 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 the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

15 But He said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one is affluent does his life consist of his possessions."

3 And 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 gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 And do not be conformed to this *world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may *prove what the will of God is, that which is good and *acceptable and perfect.

7 for we walk by faith, not by *sight—

14 Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we instructed you, 12 so that you will *behave properly toward outsiders and *not be in any need.

23 Whatever you do, do your work *heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, 24 knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward *of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has *been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

10 For,

"The one who desires life, to love and see good days,

Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

11 "He must turn away from evil and do good;

He must seek peace and pursue it.

6 Everything that has breath shall praise *the Lord.

*Praise *the Lord!

1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven—

16 in that I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, so that you may live and become numerous, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to take possession of it.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged on the land which the Lord your God gives you.

10 As for the days of our *life, *they contain seventy years,

Or if due to strength, eighty years,

Yet their pride is only trouble and tragedy;

For it quickly passes, and we disappear.

4 "Lord, let me know my end,

And what is the extent of my days;

Let me know how transient I am.

5 "Behold, You have made my days like*hand widths,

And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight;

Certainly all mankind standing is *a mere breath. Selah

6 "Certainly every person walks around as *a fleeting shadow;

They certainly make an uproar for nothing;

He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

12 Who is the person who desires life

And loves length of days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

31 A gray head is a crown of glory;

It is found in the way of righteousness.

19 As in water a face reflects the face,

So the heart of a person reflects the person.
