¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

²³ The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

¹⁶ The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

²⁸ In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

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

⁸ But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

⁹ Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

³⁵ But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

³⁶ But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

²² He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

²³ Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

¹⁸ And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
