- The reward of humility and fear of the Lord
is wealth, honor, and life. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but cherish my commandments in your heart,
for they will bring you length of days,
more years of life, and an abundance of prosperity. - For everything that is in the world—
the concupiscence of the flesh,
the concupiscence of the eyes,
and the pride of life—
comes not from the Father
but from the world. - It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts. - Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- Hence, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

but a prudent wife is a gift from the Lord. - Listen, my son, and take my words to heart,
and the years of your life will be multiplied. - While physical training has some value, the benefits of godliness are unlimited, since it holds out promise not only for this life but also for the life to come.
- Anyone who is victorious will be dressed like these in white robes, and I shall not blot his name from the book of life. Rather, I shall acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels.

and receives favor from the Lord. - The desires of the flesh result in death, but the desires of the Spirit result in life and peace.
- This is the conclusion I have reached: it is fitting for a man to eat and drink and find satisfaction in the results of his labors under the sun during the brief span of life that God has allotted him.
- I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep. - Do not be concerned about your life and what you will have to eat, or about your body and what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
- No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. - For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- Only goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever and ever. - Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life and honor too. - A wealthy man pays a ransom to save his life;
a poor man never has to worry about such threats. - In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- The tongue has the power over life and death;
those who cherish it will enjoy its fruits. - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom should I be afraid? - I write these things to you
who believe in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know
that you have eternal life.
