²² For they are life to him who gets them, and strength to all his flesh.

⁵ So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

¹⁴ A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town.

¹⁶ For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

³ Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;

¹⁰ For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

¹¹ And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

⁷ For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

⁸ For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

⁵ For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

⁶ But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

³³ But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

¹⁹ I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.

²² So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.

¹ My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:

² For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.

¹⁹ Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

²⁰ In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
