exhort you to be of good
cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s
life among you, but of the ship.

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

reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his
life.

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 one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
For if, by the
trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in
life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of
life.

life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

holiness, and the end

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 through Jesus Christ our Lord.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin
sprang to

life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.

life, is at the right hand of God—and He is
interceding for us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
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 thy prophets, and
digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my
life.
“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 the casting away of them be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but
life from the dead?
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Who have for my
life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give
thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are
grateful to them.
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
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,
For this cause have I sent unto you
Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into
remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
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.
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that
pertain to this
life?
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
So if you need to settle
everyday matters, do you
appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so
ordain I in all churches.
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 and if thou marry, thou hast not
sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not
sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I
spare you.
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.
And even things without
life giving sound, whether pipe or
harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or
harped?
Even in the case of
lifeless instruments, such as the
flute or
harp, how will
anyone recognize the
tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
If in this
life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
If our hope in Christ is for this
life alone, we are to be
pitied more than all men.

fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die:
You
fool! What you
sow does not come to
life unless it dies.

quickening spirit.
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength,
insomuch that we
despaired even of
life:
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.
