The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. |

And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. | For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. |

| For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night. | For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
