¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

⁴For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁷Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

⁸But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

¹⁹The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

³⁶And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

⁸For 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.

²¹For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

¹⁵For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

¹⁷And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

¹⁰Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!

²³But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

¹⁹Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

²⁰Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

⁵Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

¹⁵But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

²⁴Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

³²The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

¹The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

⁴³And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
