²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

¹³ For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, `And' curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, `Even' the days that were ordained `for me', When as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.

³ He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; `But' he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

⁴ Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

⁸ He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

³⁶ For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?

²⁶ Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?

²⁷ And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?

²⁸ And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

¹⁰ For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:

¹¹ And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that `life' which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, `the faith' which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

⁶ Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever. Psalm 24 A Psalm of David.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

²⁷ The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.

³¹ The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.

¹² So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

³ And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, `even' Jesus Christ.

⁷ Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

⁸ Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 122 A Song of Ascents; of David.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

¹¹ and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;

¹² that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.

¹³ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope.

³⁵ Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

³³ I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

⁴ Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days `as' handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

⁶ Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up `riches', and knoweth not who shall gather them.

⁷ And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

² And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight);

⁷ Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

²¹ He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.

¹² Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which `the Lord' promised to them that love him.

¹⁷ He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

²³ whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵ For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.

⁴ One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.

⁹³ I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.

²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

²⁶ and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²⁷ She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, `even' he that cometh into the world.

¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have `it' abundantly.

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven:

³⁴ And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

³⁶ For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

⁶ Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah.

⁹ For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

¹⁵ Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷ Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁹ As in water face `answereth' to face, So the heart of man to man.

¹² What man is he that desireth life, And loveth `many' days, that he may see good?

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are `open' unto their cry.
