Life And Death

   Die For Another

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  

  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.  

  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  

  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.  

  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.  

  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  

  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  

  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.  

  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.  

  And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.  

  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)  

  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”

Romans 5:6-19

  “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.  

  For 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.  

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” Romans 14:7-9

  “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.  

  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  

  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.”

1 Corinthians 15:20-23

  “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

Revelation 14:12-13
