²⁴ A path of life `is' on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.

¹ If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,

² the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,

²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await -- the Lord Jesus Christ --

¹⁸ For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹⁴ how strait `is' the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

⁸ And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!

¹⁴ Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.

²⁷ The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!

²³ For a lamp `is' the command, And the law a light, And a way of life `are' reproofs of instruction,

⁵ Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.

²⁴ And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!

¹¹ Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys `is' with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
