What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah
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.
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, that he should live on forever and never see the pit.
For I know that you will bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption.
All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.
