²⁸ And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

² They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him.

²⁴ Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

⁵¹ Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

¹⁰ Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹³ Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

⁴ We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

⁵ For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

⁶ Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

⁴ And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

³⁶ As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

³⁷ But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.

³⁸ For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,

³⁹ Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁴ Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

¹⁴ And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

¹⁵ And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

¹⁶ For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

⁵⁴ But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

⁵⁵ O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains?

⁵⁶ The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

⁵⁷ But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸ For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
