²⁴ The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

¹ If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

²⁰ For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁸ For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

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

¹⁴ Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

⁸ And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

²⁷ Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

²³ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

⁵ Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

¹¹ Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
