What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?

Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,

For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over the Jordan to inherit it.

And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give as a ransom for his life.

for length of days, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to you.

She is a tree of life to all that lay hold of her, and she is a secure help to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.

For they are life to those that find them, and health to all [their] flesh.

For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favor from the Lord.

So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, [that is], God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's, will save it.

He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life.

Remember then that my life is breath, and my eye shall not yet again see good.

The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not.

Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.

I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

[Yet] he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

that we may behold the good of Your elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that we may glory with Your inheritance.

And I examined whether my heart would excite my flesh as [with] wine, (though my heart guided [me] in wisdom,) and [I desired] to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun all the days of their life.

"But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

For assuredly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous [men] desired to see what you see, and they did not see, and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear."

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceiving his heart, the religion of this [man] is useless.

My brothers, let not many become teachers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.

Consider that we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

Even so the tongue is a small member and it boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

For every kind of both beasts and birds, of both reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are created according to [the] likeness of God.

Therefore having put away all malice, all guile, hypocrisy, envy, and all slanders,

"Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth";

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"

And no guile was found in their mouth, for they are blameless.
