Body.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did
sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like
the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his
wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times
ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were
opened. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the
horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body
destroyed, and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the
beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged
for a season and time. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one
like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient
of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him
dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages,
should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which
shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the
visions of my head troubled me. (Daniel 7:9-15)
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy
right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that
thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Matthew 5:27-30)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if
therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But
if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love
the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot
serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:19-24)
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 10:28)
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto
us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the
Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear
it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore
he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this
unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had
said. (John 2:18-22)
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. (Romans 6:3-6)
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey
it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments
of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that
are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
unto God. (Romans 6:12-13)
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this
death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind
I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans
7:24-25)
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of
sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8:10)
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. (Romans 8:13)
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:23)
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the
same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every
one members one of another. (Romans 12:4-5)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which
is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians
6:19)
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk
in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (2
Corinthians 6:16)
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged
already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done
this deed, (1 Corinthians 5:3)
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy
both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the
Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord,
and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies
are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and
make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not
that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth
fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians
6:13-20)
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise
also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. (1 Corinthians
7:4)
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried
woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body
and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world,
how she may please her husband. (1 Corinthians 7:34)
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest
that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a
castaway. (1 Corinthians 9:27)
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the
blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the
body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one
body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. (1 Corinthians 10:16-17)
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped,
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as
ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let
a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink
of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth
and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (1 Corinthians
11:24-29)
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members
of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For
by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews
or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If
the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is
it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not
the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the
whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole
were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set
the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And
if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are
they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the
hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no
need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be
more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which
we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely
parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having
given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there
should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have
the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members
suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with
it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (1 Corinthians
12:12-27)
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though
I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
(1 Corinthians 13:3)
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. (1 Corinthians 15:35-44)
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that
the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (2 Corinthians
4:10)
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are
at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith,
not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be
absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour,
that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive
the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:6-10)
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body,
I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether
in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) (2 Corinthians
12:2-3)
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks
of the Lord Jesus. (Galatians 6:17)
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.(Ephesians
1:23)
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby: (Ephesians 2:16)
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: (Ephesians 3:6)
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling; (Ephesians 4:4)
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ: (Ephesians 4:12)
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the
measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love. (Ephesians 4:16)
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head
of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:23)
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (Ephesians
5:30)
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing
I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so
now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by
life, or by death .(Philippians 1:20)
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto
his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:21)
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile
all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things
in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and
enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable
and unreproveable in his sight: (Colossians 1:18-22)
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision
of Christ: (Colossians 2:11)
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping
of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed
up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body
by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth
with the increase of God. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject
to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish
with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things
have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting
of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh .(Colossians
2:17-23)
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye
are called in one body; and be ye thankful. (Colossians 3:15)
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering
thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings
and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo,
I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)to do thy will,
O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein;
which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will,
O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the
which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:5-10)
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them
which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. (Hebrews
13:3)
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed
and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful
to the body; what doth it profit? (James 2:16)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works
is dead also. (James 2:26)
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole
body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us;
and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though
they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are
they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold,
how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire,
a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth
the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set
on fire of hell.(James 3:2-6)
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 1:9)
Heart.
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on
the earth, and it grieved him at his heart .(Genesis 6:5-6)
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart,
I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination
of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite
any more every thing living, as I have done. (Genesis 8:21)
Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself
said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency
of my hands have I done this. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I
know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld
thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
(Genesis 20:5-6)
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it
is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were
afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath
done unto us? (Genesis 42:28)
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is
not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also,
behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be
glad in his heart. (Exodus 4:14)
And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt,
see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in
thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people
go. (Exodus 4:21)
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with
his heart ye shall take my offering. (Exodus 25:1-2)
Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is
of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and
silver, and brass, (Exodus 35:5)
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall
eat it. (Leviticus 26:16)
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a
whoring: (Numbers 15:39)
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? Thus did your
fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. For when they
went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the
heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land
which the LORD had given them. (Numbers 32:7-9)
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD
thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might
deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. (Deuteronomy 2:30)
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find
him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
(Deuteronomy 4:29)
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that
the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
there is none else.(Deuteronomy 4:39)
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command
thee this day, shall be in thine heart: (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth
his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. (Deuteronomy 8:5)
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which
brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
(Deuteronomy 8:14)
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to
fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to
serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, (Deuteronomy
10:12)
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments
which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him
with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give you
the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter
rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat
and be full. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived,
and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then
the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that
there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest
ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. Therefore
shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind
them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your
eyes. (Deuteronomy 11:13-18)
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any
of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt
not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But
thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient
for his need, in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not
a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release,
is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest
him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou
givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless
thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.(Deuteronomy
15:7-10)
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the
LORD hath not spoken? (Deuteronomy 18:21)
The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment
of heart: (Deuteronomy 28:28)
Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; (Deuteronomy
28:47)
And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD thy God will turn thy
captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee
from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If
any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven,
from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he
fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy
fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good,
and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the LORD thy God will circumcise
thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the LORD
thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that
hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice
of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand,
in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit
of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good,
as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written
in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which
I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is
it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall
go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and
do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who
shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it,
and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and
in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this
day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day
to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments
and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply:
and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to
possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but
shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; (Deuteronomy
30:2-17)
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were
on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which
were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of
Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that
their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because
of the children of Israel. (Joshua 5:1)
And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine
heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and
hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth. And it came to
pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so
that his soul was vexed unto death; That he told her all his heart, and
said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have
been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then
my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other
man. And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent
and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once,
for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines
came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. (Judges 16:15-18)
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn
is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because
I rejoice in thy salvation. (1 Samuel 2:1)
And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before
me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow
I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
(1 Samuel 9:19)
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a
man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain
over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD
commanded thee. (1 Samuel 13:14)
And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine
heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
(1 Samuel 14:7)
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the
height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth
not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD
looketh on the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7)
And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all
Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and
that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent
Abner away; and he went in peace. (2 Samuel 3:21)
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's
daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing
before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. (2 Samuel 6:16)
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which
thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore
the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head; (1 Kings 2:44)
And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father
great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness,
and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this
great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as
it is this day. And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant
king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I
know not how to go out or come in. And thy servant is in
the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot
be numbered nor counted for multitude. Give therefore thy servant an understanding
heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for
who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased
the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because
thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither
hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies;
but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I
have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding
heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee
shall any arise like unto thee. (1 Kings 3:6-12)
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after
mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; Then let
me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. If mine
heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my
neighbour's door; (Job 31:7-9)
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.(Job
37:1)
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding
to the heart? (Job 38:36)
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether
millstone. (Job 41:24)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed,
and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your
trust in the LORD. There be many that say, Who will shew us any
good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast
put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn
and their wine increased. (Psalms 4:4-7)
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. (Psalms
7:10)
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and
fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the
lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the
innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly
as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch
the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth
himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his
heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Wherefore
doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require
it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite,
to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee;
thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked
and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find
none. The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: (Psalms 10:6-17)
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering
lips and with a double heart do they speak. (Psalms 12:2)
*To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.* How long wilt thou forget
me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long
shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear
me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of
death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. (Psalms 13:1-5)
*To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.* The fool hath said
in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (Psalms 14:1)
*A Psalm of David.* LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall
dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
and speaketh the truth in his heart. (Psalms 15:1-2)
*A Prayer of David.* Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give
ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. Let my sentence
come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are
equal. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the
night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress. (Psalms 17:1-3)
*A Psalm of Asaph.* Truly God is good to Israel, even
to such as are of a clean heart. (Psalms 73:1)
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart
to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for evermore. (Psalms 86:11-12)
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in
the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me,
proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this
generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
and they have not known my ways: (Psalms 95:8-10)
*A Psalm of David.* I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O
LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when
wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that
turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart
from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth
his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud
heart will not I suffer. (Psalms 101:1-5)
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat
my bread. (Psalms 102:4)
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek
the LORD. (Psalms 105:3)
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down,
and there was none to help. (Psalms 107:12)
*A Song or Psalm of David.* O God, my heart is fixed; I will
sing and give praise, even with my glory. (Psalms 108:1)
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting
in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until
he see his desire upon his enemies. (Psalms 112:7-8)
ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the
law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and
that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they
walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be
ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee
with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. BETH. Wherewithal shall
a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to
thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from
thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
against thee. (Psalms 119:1-11)
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with
thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine
heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and
liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver,
and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand
the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth
wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He
layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them
that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the
way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,
and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine
heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; (Proverbs 2:1-10)
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let
not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them
upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and
lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:1-5)
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue,
is from the LORD. All the ways of a man are clean in his
own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the
LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things
for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that
is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though
hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth
iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from
evil. When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to
be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than
great revenues without right. A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD
directeth his steps. (Proverbs 16:1-9)
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover
itself. (Proverbs 18:2)
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut
their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. (Isaiah 6:10)
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with
Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees
of the wood are moved with the wind. (Isaiah 7:2)
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it
is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. (Isaiah 10:7)
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(Isaiah
13:7)
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (Isaiah 14:13)
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity
is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into
the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. (Isaiah 30:29)
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue
of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. The vile person shall
be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. For
the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to
practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty
the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
(Isaiah 32:4-6)
And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before
thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is
good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. (Isaiah 38:3)
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst
not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter
end of it. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures,
that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and
none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I
know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee
in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall
come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries,
and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast
trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and
thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart,
I am, and none else beside me. (Isaiah 47:7-10)
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto
me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said
unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous
Judah. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou
backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger
to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and
I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity,
that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered
thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed
my voice, saith the LORD. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD;
for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of
a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according
to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And
it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land,
in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant
of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember
it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done
any more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD;
and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD,
to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of
their evil heart.(Jeremiah 3:10-17)
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your
heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come
forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the
evil of your doings. Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and
say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble
yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. Set up the standard
toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and
a great destruction. The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer
of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make
thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an
inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the
fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. And it shall come
to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king
shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished,
and the prophets shall wonder. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast
greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace;
whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. At that time shall it be said
to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness
toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, Even
a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will
I give sentence against them. Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his
chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness,
that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within
thee? For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount
Ephraim. Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem,
that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice
against the cities of Judah. As keepers of a field, are they against her
round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this
is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto
thine heart. My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart
maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard,
O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. (Jeremiah 4:4-19)
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak
unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. (Ezekiel 3:10)
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither
they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish
heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring
after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which
they have committed in all their abominations. (Ezekiel 6:9)
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within
you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give
them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine
ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their
God. But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon
their own heads, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 11:19-21)
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy
people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against
them, (Ezekiel 13:17)
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put
the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired
of at all by them? Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols
in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his
face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh
according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel
in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their
idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your
faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel,
or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself
from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock
of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of
him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: (Ezekiel 14:3-7)
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with
the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore
he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
(Daniel 1:8)
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom
that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall
make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know
the thoughts of thy heart. (Daniel 2:30)
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he
was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: And
he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts,
and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass
like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that
the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth
over it whomsoever he will. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled
thine heart, though thou knewest all this; (Daniel 5:20-22)
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their
iniquity.(Hosea 4:8)
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt,
they go to Assyria. (Hosea 7:11)
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break
down their altars, he shall spoil their images. Hosea 10:2)
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled,
and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. Therefore
I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps,
and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like
a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. (Hosea 13:6-8)
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with
all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your
God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:12-13)
The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in
the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in
his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (Obadiah 1:3)
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem
with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say
in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. (Zephaniah
1:12)
This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said
in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she
become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that
passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand. (Zephaniah 2:15)
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their
heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it,
and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. (Zechariah 10:7)
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to
give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse
upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already,
because ye do not lay it to heart. (Malachi 2:2)
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse. (Malachi 4:6)
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matthew
5:8)
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew
6:21)
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out
of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil
man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. (Matthew 12:34-35)
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull
of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should
heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears,
for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have
not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and
have not heard them. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it
not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was
sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. (Matthew
13:15-19)
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Matthew
15:8
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come
forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies: (Matthew 15:18-19)
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Matthew
22:37)
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming; (Matthew 24:48)
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why
reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand?
have ye your heart yet hardened?(Mark 8:17)
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall
not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith
shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Mark 11:23)
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them
in her heart. (Luke 2:19)
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart
his mouth speaketh. (Luke 6:45)
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took
a child, and set him by him, And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive
this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth
him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be
great. (Luke 9:47-48)

his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to
eat and drink, and to be drunken; (Luke 12:45)

believe all that the prophets have spoken: (Luke 24:25)

that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their
heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (John 12:40)
And supper being ended, the devil having now put into
the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; (John 13:2)
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not
as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid. (John 14:27)
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: (Acts 2:26)
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness
and singleness of heart, (Acts 2:46)
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine
heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price
of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing
in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. (Acts 5:3-4)
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy
heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness,
and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
(Acts 8:21-22)
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was
glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave
unto the Lord. (Acts 11:23)

of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart
the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of
Paul. (Acts 16:14)

mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem
for the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 21:13)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him
not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:21)
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest
up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God; (Romans 2:5)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision
is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter;
whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:29)
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered
you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
(Romans 6:17-18)
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my
heart. (Romans 9:2)
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this
wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to
bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep?
(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is,
the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Romans 10:6-10)

having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed
in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. (1 Corinthians 7:37)

and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report
that God is in you of a truth. (1 Corinthians 14:25)

the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew

his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10:39)
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them
off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into
life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast
into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with
one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Matthew
18:8-9)

possesseth. (Luke 12:15)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily,
I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in
himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because
he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the
which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that
have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of mine own self
do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek
not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I
bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth
witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is
true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive
not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season
to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than that of
John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same
works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And
the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have
neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not
his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are
they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have
life. (John 5:24-40)

meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give
unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (John 6:27)

that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst. (John 6:35)

one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:40)
I am that bread of life. (John 6:48)
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye
have no life in you. (John 6:53)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life. (John 6:63)
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we
go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (John 6:68)

of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall

and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might

perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28)

11:25)

life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he
should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is
life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent. (John 17:2-3)
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through
his name. (John 20:31)
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt
make me full of joy with thy countenance. (Acts 2:28)
When they heard these things, they held their peace,
and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance
unto life. (Acts 11:18)
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye
put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo,
we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying,
I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were
ordained to eternal life believed. (Acts 13:46-48)
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek
for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (Romans 2:7)

by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved
by his life. (Romans 5:10)

made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2)

spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:6)

because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, (Romans 8:38)

from the dead? (Romans 11:15)
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; (1
Corinthians 3:22)

things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining
to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. (1
Corinthians 6:3-4

all men most miserable. (1 Corinthians 15:19)

for these things? (2 Corinthians 2:16)

giveth life. (2 Corinthians 3:6)

Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then
death worketh in us, but life in you. (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
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. (2 Corinthians 5:4)
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come
by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 2:20-21)
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. (Galatians 6:8)

the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness
of their heart: (Ephesians 4:18)

that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness,
as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether
it be by life, or by death. (Philippians 1:20)

be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light
that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew
6:22-23)

might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness
of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world. (John 1:4-9)
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds

cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are
wrought in God. (John 3:19-21)

cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
(Romans 13:12)

of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves,

of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1
Peter 2:9)

ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2 Peter 1:19)

and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:5-7)
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing
is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light
now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother,
is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the
light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. (1 John 2:8-10)
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in
the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour
into it. (Revelation 21:23-24)
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they
shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 22:5)

deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed
them, and made all their memory to perish. Thou hast increased the nation,
O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst
removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. LORD, in trouble
have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening
was upon them. Like as a woman with child, that draweth near
the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs;
so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have
been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought
any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world
fallen. 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
26:14-19)
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. (Isaiah 38:16)
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these
gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live,
saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an
ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. (Isaiah
49:18)
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul
shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even
the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:3)
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that
the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because
he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. (Ezekiel 3:21)
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of
barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die,
and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people
that hear your lies? (Ezekiel 13:19)
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine
own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea,
I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live. (Ezekiel 16:6)
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live,
surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken,
even it will I recompense upon his own head. (Ezekiel 17:19)
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have
occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 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. But if a man be just, and do that
which is lawful and right, And hath not eaten upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither
hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous
woman, And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor
his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the
hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; He that hath
not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that
hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between
man and man, Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to
deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that
doeth the like to any one of these things, And that doeth
not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains,
and defiled his neighbour's wife, Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath
spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his
eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, Hath given forth upon usury,
and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath
done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon
him. Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins
which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, That
hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the
idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, Neither
hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled
by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered
the naked with a garment, That hath taken off his hand from the
poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my
judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity
of his father, he shall surely live. As for his father, because
he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that
which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his
iniquity. Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father?
When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath
kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 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. Yet saith the
house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are
not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? Therefore I will judge you,
O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD.
Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity
shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby
ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why
will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of
him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and
live ye. (Ezekiel 18:3-32)
Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of
Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be
upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Say unto them,
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of
the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn
ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Therefore,
thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness
of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression:
as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day
that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able
to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I
shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust
to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses
shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he
shall die for it. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely
die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If
the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he
shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned
unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely
live. Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal:
but as for them, their way is not equal. When the righteous turneth from
his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall live thereby. (Ezekiel 33:10-19)
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy
upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the
LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath
to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and
will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in
you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. So
I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And
when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the
skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said
he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the
wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded
me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their
feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these
bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried,
and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will
open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring
you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD,
when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of
your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall
place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken
it, and performed it, saith the LORD. (Ezekiel 37:3-14)
And it shall come to pass, that every thing that
liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live:
and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters
shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live
whither the river cometh. (Ezekiel 47:9)
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he
will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. (Hosea 6:2)
For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek
ye me, and ye shall live: But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and
pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel
shall come to nought. Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out
like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be
none to quench it in Bethel. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and
leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that maketh the seven
stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and
maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea,
and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his
name: That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled
shall come against the fortress. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate,
and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. Forasmuch therefore as your
treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat:
ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye
have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. For
I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict
the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from
their right. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time;
for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live:
and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
(Amos 5:4-14)
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright
in him: but the just shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:4)
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets,
do they live for ever? (Zechariah 1:5)
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of God. (Matthew 4:4)
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. (Luke 4:4)
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for
all live unto him. (Luke 20:38)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they
that hear shall live. (John 5:25)
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if
any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The
Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us
his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood,
ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is
meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath
sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall
live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall
live for ever. (John 6:51-58)
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: (John
11:25)
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but
ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (John 14:19)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
(Acts 17:28)
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from
faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans
1:17)
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live
any longer therein? 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: (Romans 6:2-8)
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. (Romans 8:12-13)
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the
law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. (Romans
10:5)
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether
we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are
the Lord's. (Romans 14:8)
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans
14:11)
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for
Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our
mortal flesh. (2 Corinthians 4:11)
And that he died for all, that they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
them, and rose again. (2 Corinthians 5:15)
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and,
behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; (2 Corinthians 6:9)
I speak not this to condemn you: for I
have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
(2 Corinthians 7:3)
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he
liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live
with him by the power of God toward you. (2 Corinthians 13:4)
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might
live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me. (Galatians 2:19-20)
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight
of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the
law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (Galatians
3:11-12)
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
(Galatians 5:25)
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour:
yet what I shall choose I wot not. (Philippians 1:21-22)
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. (1 Thessalonians
3:8)
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should
live together with him. (1 Thessalonians 5:10)
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with
him, we shall also live with him: (2 Timothy 2:11)
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12)
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
(Titus 2:12)
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Hebrews 10:38)
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather
be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? (Hebrews 12:9)
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we
shall live, and do this, or that. (James 4:15)
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
That he no longer should live the rest of his
time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the
time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of
the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine,
revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think
it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot,
speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready
to judge the quick and the dead. For for this cause was the gospel preached
also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men
in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:2-6)
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample
unto those that after should live ungodly; (2 Peter 2:6)
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity,
they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness,
those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. (2 Peter 2:18)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because
that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live
through him. (1 John 4:9)
Lived.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a
pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. (Numbers 21:9)
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard
the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we
have, and lived? (Deuteronomy 5:26)
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men
will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. (Psalms 49:18)
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived
in them. (Colossians 3:7)
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton;
ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. (James 5:5)
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit
a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall
be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth
her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived
deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall
see the smoke of her burning, (Revelation 18:7-9)
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon
their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ
a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation
20:4-5)
Living.
And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind,
and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:21)
So God created man in his own image, in the image
of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed
them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon
the earth. (Genesis 1:27-28)
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was
the mother of all living. (Genesis 3:20)
As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar
wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living
bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy
seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird
loose into the open field. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his
clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he
may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry
abroad out of his tent seven days. But it shall be on the seventh day,
that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows,
even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also
he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. And on the eighth
day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the
first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for
a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. And the priest that
maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean,
and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation: And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him
for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a
wave offering before the LORD: And he shall slay the lamb in the place
where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy
place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the
trespass offering: it is most holy: And the priest shall take some
of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it
upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: And
the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it
into the palm of his own left hand: And the priest shall dip his right
finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of
the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD: And of the rest of
the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of
the trespass offering: And the remnant of the oil that is in the
priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. And the
priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that
is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the
burnt offering: And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat
offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him,
and he shall be clean. And if he be poor, and cannot get so much;
then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved,
to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled
with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; And two turtledoves, or
two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin
offering, and the other a burnt offering. And he shall bring them on the
eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, before the LORD. And the priest shall take the lamb
of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave
them for a wave offering before the LORD: And he shall kill the
lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of
the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the
right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: And the priest shall pour
of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: And the priest shall sprinkle
with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left
hand seven times before the LORD: And the priest shall put of the oil that
is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be
cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe
of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put
upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him
before the LORD. And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the
young pigeons, such as he can get; Even such as he is able to get,
the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering,
with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
that is to be cleansed before the LORD. This is the law of him
in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get
that which pertaineth to his cleansing. And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When ye be come into the land of Canaan,
which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in
a house of the land of your possession; And he that owneth the house shall
come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it
were a plague in the house: Then the priest shall command that they empty
the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that
all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the
priest shall go in to see the house: And he shall look on the plague, and,
behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow
strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the
wall; Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house,
and shut up the house seven days: And the priest shall come again the seventh
day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the
walls of the house; Then the priest shall command that they take away the
stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an
unclean place without the city: And he shall cause the house to be scraped
within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off
without the city into an unclean place: And they shall take other stones,
and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other
morter, and shall plaister the house. And if the plague come again, and
break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after
he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; Then the priest
shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the
house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof,
and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out
of the city into an unclean place. Moreover he that goeth into the house
all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. And he
that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the
house shall wash his clothes. And if the priest shall come in, and look
upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after
the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean,
because the plague is healed. And he shall take to cleanse the house two
birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: And he shall kill the one
of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: And he shall take
the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and
dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and
sprinkle the house seven times: And he shall cleanse the house with the
blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird,
and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: But
he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and
make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:6-53)

any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. (Ecclesiastes 9:4-5)

of his sins? (Lamentations 3:39)
Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her
company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
which caused terror in the land of the living. There is Elam and
all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the
sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth,
which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne
their shame with them that go down to the pit. They have set her a bed
in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are
round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though
their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne
their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of
them that be slain. There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her
multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised,
slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the
living. And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of
the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war:
and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities
shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty
in the land of the living. Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the
uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their
might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall
lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. There
be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians,
which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed
of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain
by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. Pharaoh
shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even
Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. For I
have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in
the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the
sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel
32:23-32)
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel,
servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able
to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king,
live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths,
that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found
in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the
king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel
up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner
of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. And the king
commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they
cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their
wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones
in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Then king Darius
wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth;
Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every dominion of
my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is
the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the
end. (Daniel 6:20-26)

are the sons of the living God. (Hosea 1:10)

soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was

that which is spiritual. (1 Corinthians 15:45-46)
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell
in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people. (2 Corinthians 6:16)
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(Colossians 2:20)
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering
in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living
and true God; (1 Thessalonians 1:9)

to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (1 Timothy 3:15)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be
not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who
giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (1 Timothy 6:17)

us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; (Hebrews 10:20)

the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, (Revelation
7:2)

and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul
died in the sea. (Revelation 16:3)

hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have
saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the
lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines; (2 Samuel 19:5)
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this
thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in
jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it.
Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
(1 Chronicles 11:19)

and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh
of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and

laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren. (1 John 3:16)

the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Revelation 12:11)
Selfwilled.
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;
not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given
to filthy lucre; (Titus 1:7)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But
chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and
despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are
not afraid to speak evil of dignities. (2 Peter 2:9-10)

Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it
may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
(Genesis 12:13)

And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it
to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. (Genesis
27:4)
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy
firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee,
sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac said unto
his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my
son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. And
Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my
son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near
unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's
voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. And he discerned him
not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed
him. And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison,
that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and
he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. And his father Isaac
said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. And he came near, and
kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and
said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which
the LORD hath blessed: Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and
the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: Let people serve
thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let
thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth
thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. And it came to pass,
as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce
gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came
in from his hunting. And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it
unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat
of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. (Genesis 27:19-31)
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob,
and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. (Genesis 34:3)

she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
(Genesis 35:18)
And they said one to another, We are verily guilty
concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he
besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon
us. (Genesis 42:21)
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first
day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened
bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut
off from Israel. (Exodus 12:15)
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after
their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto
the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them,
when thou numberest them. (Exodus 30:12)
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul
shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD
concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against
any of them: (Leviticus 4:2)
And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and
is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he
do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. Or if a soul touch
any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast,
or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things,
and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be
that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth
of it, then he shall be guilty. Or if a soul swear, pronouncing
with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be
that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. (Leviticus
5:1-4)
If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance,
in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto
the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by
shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
(Leviticus 5:15)
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his
peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted,
neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination,
and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. And the flesh that
toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt
with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. But
the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings,
that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even
that soul shall be cut off from his people. Moreover the soul that shall
touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any
unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh
of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people. And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat
no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And the fat of the beast
that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may
be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. For whosoever
eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from
his people. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be
of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul it be
that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his
people. (Leviticus 7:18-27)
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood;
I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut
him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the
blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for
your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement
for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of
you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you
eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth
any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof,
and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood
of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children
of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of
all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut
off. And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that
which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country,
or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. (Leviticus
17:10-15)
And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar
spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set
my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
(Leviticus 20:6)
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted
in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. And whatsoever
soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will
I destroy from among his people. (Leviticus 23:29-30)
And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall
not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye
shall be my people. I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth
out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have
broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. But if ye will
not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; And if ye
shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that
ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
(Leviticus 26:11-15)
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your
images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you. (Leviticus 26:30)
The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy
her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept
of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised
my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. (Leviticus 26:43)
But now our soul is dried away: there is
nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. (Numbers 11:6)
Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath
broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity
shall be upon him. (Numbers 15:31)
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red
sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged
because of the way. And the people spake against God, and against Moses,
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our
soul loatheth this light bread. (Numbers 21:4-5)
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to
bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according
to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. If a woman also vow a vow unto
the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house
in her youth; And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath
bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall
stand. But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any
of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand:
and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. And
if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul; And her husband heard it,and
held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows
shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. But
if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then
he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall
forgive her. But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith
they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. And if she vowed
in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; And her
husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed
her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound
her soul shall stand. But if her husband hath utterly made them void on
the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips
concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand:
her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. Every
vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish
it, or her husband may make it void. (Numbers 30:2-13)
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart
from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy
sons' sons; (Deuteronomy 4:9)
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with
all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all
thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing
of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean
may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. Only ye shall not
eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. Thou mayest not
eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil,
or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which
thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD
thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant,
and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and
thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine
hands unto. Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long
as thou livest upon the earth. When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy
border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh,
because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever
thy soul lusteth after. If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen
to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy
herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded
thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
(Deuteronomy 12:15-21)
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul
lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink,
or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the
LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, (Deuteronomy
14:26)
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river,
the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength. (Judges 5:21)
And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed
unto the LORD, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of
hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and
remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid
a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life,
and there shall no razor come upon his head. And it came to pass, as she
continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. Now Hannah,
she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard:
therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. And Eli said unto her, How
long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. And Hannah answered
and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have
drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before
the LORD. (1 Samuel 1:10-15)
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking
unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and
Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would
let him go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan and David
made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. (1 Samuel 18:1-3)
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. (Psalms
6:3-4)
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver
my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: (Psalms 17:13)

soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
(Psalms 19:7)
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Psalms
30:3)
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast
not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large
room. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed
with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. (Psalms 31:7-9)
*A Psalm of David.* Plead my cause, O LORD,
with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also
the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say
unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put
to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to
confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and
let the angel of the LORD chase them. Let their way be dark and
slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. For without cause
have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause
they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction
let him fall. And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice
in his salvation. All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto
thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea,
the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? False witnesses did
rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded
me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. But as for me, when
they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with
fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. I behaved myself as
though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily,
as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine adversity they
rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered
themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear
me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed
upon me with their teeth. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul
from their destructions, my darling from the lions. (Psalms 35:1-17)
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy
soul spare for his crying. (Proverbs 19:18)
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth:
they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. (Isaiah 1:14)
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his
fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer
fainteth. (Isaiah 10:18)
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited
for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the
remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea,
with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments
are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
(Isaiah 26:8-9)
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth,
and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when
a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and,
behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude
of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. (Isaiah 29:8)

heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard,
O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. (Jeremiah 4:19)

the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of
the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth
her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied
because of murderers. (Jeremiah 4:31)
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged
a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for
them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. (Jeremiah 18:20)

the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. (Jeremiah 20:13)

with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for
my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? (Micah
6:7)

many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. (Habakkuk 2:10)

lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. (Zechariah 11:8)

to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
