Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die.
Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till
thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Genesis 6:17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon
the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from
under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis 7:22
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all
that was in the dry land, died.
1 Samuel 2:6
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to
the grave, and bringeth up.
Job 3:11-26
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the
ghost when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should
suck? For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have
slept: then had I been at rest, With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate
places for themselves; Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with
silver: Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which
never saw light. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at
rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the
oppressor. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his
master. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto
the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than
for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the
grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath
hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured
out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that
which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet
trouble came.
Job 4:17-21
Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more
pure than his maker? Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he
charged with folly: How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose
foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever
without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die,
even without wisdom.
Job 7:9-10
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that
goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place
know him any more.
Job 7:21
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take
away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt
seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job 8:11-13
Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow
without water? Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth
before any other herb. So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope
shall perish:
Job 10:18-22
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been
carried from the womb to the grave. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may
take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of
darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of
death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Job 14:1-2
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of
trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as
a shadow, and continueth not.
Job 14:10-14
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the
ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and
drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more,
they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest
keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint
me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed
time will I wait, till my change come.
Job 19:25-27
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall
stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh
shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not
another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Job 20:4-8
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon
earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite but for a moment? Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach
unto the clouds; Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have
seen him shall say, Where is he? He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he
shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Job 30:23
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the
house appointed for all living.
Psalms 1:6
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the
way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalms 6:4-5
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy
mercies' sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
Psalms 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the
nations that forget God.
Psalms 13:3
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of death;

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I
shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Psalms 21:8-10
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right
hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall
devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
Psalms 28:1
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to
me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down
into the pit.
Psalms 28:3-5
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers
of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is
in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their
hands; render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation
of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
Psalms 30:9-12
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the
pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put
off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Psalms 31:17-18
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon
thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things
proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Psalms 33:19
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them
alive in famine.
Psalms 34:16
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to
cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Psalms 34:21
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the
righteous shall be desolate.
Psalms 37:1-2
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou
envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the
green herb.
Psalms 37:9-11
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon
the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalms 37:16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the
riches of many wicked.
Psalms 37:20-22
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the
LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke
shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Psalms 37:28-29
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his
saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Psalms 37:37-38
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the
end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the
wicked shall be cut off.
Psalms 39:13
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go
hence, and be no more.
Psalms 49:6-20
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in
the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God
a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for
ever:) That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish
person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for
ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their
lands after their own names. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the
beasts that perish. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their
sayings. Selah. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them;
and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and
their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he
shall receive me. Selah. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his
house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall
not descend after him. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise
thee, when thou doest well to thyself. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never
see light. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts
that perish.
Psalms 52:5
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take
thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee
out of the land of the living. Selah.
Psalms 55:23
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their
days; but I will trust in thee.
Psalms 58:6-8
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he
bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like
the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Psalms 68:20
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto
GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
Psalms 69:28
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and
not be written with the righteous.
Psalms 73:27
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
Psalms 78:39
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that
passeth away, and cometh not again.
Psalms 88:10-12
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead
arise and praise thee? Selah. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in
the land of forgetfulness?
Psalms 89:48
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?
shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
Psalms 90:5-6
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a
sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it
is cut down, and withereth.
Psalms 92:7
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the
workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed
for ever:
Psalms 101:6-8
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that
they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall
serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut
off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Psalms 103:4
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth
thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Psalms 104:29
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest
away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psalms 104:35
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let
the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalms 112:8-10
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until
he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness
endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his
teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Psalms 115:16-18
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the
earth hath he given to the children of men. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into
silence. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the LORD.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his
saints.
Psalms 145:20
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all
the wicked will he destroy.
Psalms 146:3-4
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very
day his thoughts perish.
Proverbs 2:17-22
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth
the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the
paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths
of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall
remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Proverbs 3:18-22
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath
he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop
down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom
and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Proverbs 8:35-36
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain
favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they
that hate me love death.
Proverbs 9:18
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that
her guests are in the depths of hell.

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more:
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
Proverbs 10:27-30
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years
of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation
of the wicked shall perish. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction
shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not
inhabit the earth.
Proverbs 11:4
Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but
righteousness delivereth from death.

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth
evil pursueth it to his own death.
Proverbs 12:19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a
lying tongue is but for a moment.
Proverbs 12:28

pathway thereof there is no death.
Proverbs 13:3
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he
that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart
from the snares of death.
Proverbs 14:32
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the
righteous hath hope in his death.
Proverbs 16:25
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 18:21

they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
Proverbs 24:20
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the
candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Ecclesiastes 2:14-16
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool
walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event
happeneth to them all. Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it
happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in
my heart, that this also is vanity. For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for
ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be
forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
To every thing there is a season, and a time to
every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up that which is planted;
Ecclesiastes 3:17-22
I said in mine heart, God shall judge the
righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every
purpose and for every work. I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men,
that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they
themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even
one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea,
they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a
beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust
again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit
of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a
man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for
who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Ecclesiastes 9:3-6
This is an evil among all things that are done
under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart
of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart
while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a
living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any
thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them
is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now
perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing
that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:9-10
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all
the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under
the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this
life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes 9:12-13
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes
that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in
the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it
falleth suddenly upon them. This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great
unto me:
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Isaiah 26:13-14
O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had
dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall
not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made
all their memory to perish.
Isaiah 26:19
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body
shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew
is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Isaiah 38:16-19
O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these
things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make
me to live. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love
to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast
cast all my sins behind thy back. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee:
they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day:
the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Isaiah 43:17
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army
and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise:
they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
Isaiah 51:6-8
ift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the
earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the
earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein
shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my
righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose
heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye
afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall
eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my
salvation from generation to generation.
Isaiah 51:12
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou,
that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the
son of man which shall be made as grass;
Jeremiah 51:57
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men,
her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall
sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is
the LORD of hosts.
Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,
so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall
die.
Ezekiel 18:20-28
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not
bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and
right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be
mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall
live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the
Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations
that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that
he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he
die. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house
of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he
hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that
he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he
shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his
transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he
shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:32
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth,
saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Ezekiel 33:1-9
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto
them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land
take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the
trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be
upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood
shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his
soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet,
and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person
from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood
will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house
of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn
them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die;
if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked
man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine
hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it;
if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but
thou hast delivered thy soul.
Daniel 12:1-3
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a
nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting
contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for
ever and ever.
Daniel 12:13
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt
rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Hosea 13:14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will
redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I
will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Nahum 1:15
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn
feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through
thee; he is utterly cut off.
Nahum 3:18
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles
shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains,
and no man gathereth them.
Matthew 5:46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Matthew 7:13-14
nter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 8:21-22
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their
dead.
Matthew 9:24-26
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by
the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 25:44-46
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when
saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it
not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
Mark 5:35-43
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why
troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto
the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and
John the brother of James. And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and
seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. And when he was come in, he saith unto
them, Why make ye this
ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out,
he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that
were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the
age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
astonishment. And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and
commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Mark 8:34-38
And when he had called the people unto him with his
disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall
save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of
man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the
holy angels.
Luke 1:79
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 8:49-56
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not
the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of
the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
commanded to give her meat. And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they
should tell no man what was done.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
John 8:51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
John 11:11-14
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them,
Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of
sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John 11:23-27
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
John 14:10-14
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall
he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Acts 7:60
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord,
lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell
asleep.
Acts 13:36
or David, after he had served his own generation by the
will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
corruption:
Romans 5:12-21
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed
when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them
that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,
who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through
the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:3-10
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the
body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live
with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants
to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Romans 6:20-23
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye
have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:23-24
But I see another law in my members, warring against the
law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of
this death?
Romans 8:6-14
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the
Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through
the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of
God.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 15:12-32
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the
dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the
dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not
risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have
testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if
so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of
the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which
did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the
dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink;
for to morrow we die.
1 Corinthians 15:35-56
But some man will say, How are the dead raised
up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it
die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall
be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh
of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of
birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the
glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is
another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star
in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There
is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord
from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
2 Corinthians 1:9-10
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves,
that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the
dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom
we trust that he will yet deliver us;
2 Corinthians 2:15-16
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in
them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the
other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these
things?
2 Corinthians 5:1-5
For we know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with
our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not
for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality
might be swallowed up of life. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who
also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:1-8
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses
and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his
grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even
as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall
we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
1 Timothy 5:6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she
liveth.
James 1:13-15
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 4:13-15
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go
into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and
get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your
life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and
then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do
this, or that.
1 Peter 1:24-25
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as
the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached unto you.
2 Peter 2:12-17
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken
and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that
count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and
blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they
feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of
unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Revelation 1:18
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 2:7-11
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat
of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things
saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art
rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and
are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and
ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and
I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 11:15-18
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever
and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their
seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and
wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great
power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time
of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest
give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them
which destroy the earth.
Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and
their works do follow them.
Revelation 20:12-15
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before
God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which
is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:7-8
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all
liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
