This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.”

Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
