Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm.
In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”
All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
