Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.
For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
that he should live on forever and never see the pit.
