O that thou wouldest
hide me in the grave, that thou
wouldest keep me secret, until thy
wrath be past, that thou wouldest
appoint me a set time, and
remember me!
(Job 14:13)
For thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption. Thou wilt shew me the
path of life: in thy presence is
fullness of joy; at thy right hand
there are pleasures for evermore.
(Psalm 16:10,11)
The meek shall eat and
be satisfied: they shall praise
the LORD that seek him: your heart
shall live for ever.
(Psalm 22:26)
The LORD knoweth the
days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be for ever.
Depart from evil, and do good; and
dwell for evermore.
(Psalm 37:18,27)
I will praise thee, O
Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for
evermore.
(Psalm 86:12)
I said, O my God, take
me not away in the midst of my
days: thy years are throughout all
generations. Of old hast thou laid
the foundation of the earth: and
the heavens are the work of thy
hands. They shall perish, but
thou shalt endure: yea, all of
them shall wax old like a garment;
as a vesture shalt thou change
them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same,
and thy years shall have no end. The children of thy
servants shall continue, and their
seed shall be established before
thee.
(Psalm 102:24-28)
I will extol thee, my
God, O king; and I will bless thy
name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless
thee; and I will praise thy name
for ever and ever.
(Psalm 145:1,2)
Who knoweth the spirit
of man that goeth upward, and the
spirit of the beast that goeth
downward to the earth?
(Ecclesiastes 3:21)
Then shall the dust
return to the earth as it was: and
the spirit shall return unto God
who gave it.
(Ecclesiastes 12:7)
He will swallow up death
in victory; and the Lord GOD will
wipe away tears from off all
faces; and the rebuke of his
people shall he take away from off
all the earth: for the LORD hath
spoken it.
(Isaiah 25:8)
And many of them that
sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake, some to everlasting
life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt. And they that be wise
shall shine as the brightness of
the firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness as the stars
for ever and ever.
(Daniel 12:2,3)
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)
As thou hast given him
power over all flesh, that he
should give eternal life to as
many as thou hast given him.
(John 17:2)
To them who by patient
continuance in well doing seek for
glory and honour and immortality,
eternal life:
(Romans 2:7)
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall
be changed. For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality. So when this
corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy
sting? O grave, where is thy
victory?
(1 Corinthians 15:51-55)
But I would not have
you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others
which have no hope. For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him. For this we say unto
you by the word of the Lord, that
we which are alive and remain unto
the coming of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall
rise first: Then we which are alive
and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one
another with these words.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
Who died for us, that,
whether we wake or sleep, we
should live together with him.
(1 Thessalonians 5:10)
Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling, not
according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus before the world
began, But is now made manifest by
the appearing of our Saviour Jesus
Christ, who hath abolished death,
and hath brought life and
immortality to light through the
gospel:
(2 Timothy 1:9,10)
Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant
mercy hath begotten us again unto
a lively hope by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and
that fadeth not away, reserved in
heaven for you, Who are kept by the
power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in
the last time.
(1 Peter 1:3-5)
And the world passeth away, and
the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for
ever. And this is the promise that
he hath promised us, even eternal
life.
(1 John 2:17,25)
These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of
the Son of God; that ye may know
that ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the name of
the Son of God.
(1 John 5:13)
