"If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!
惟願你把我藏在陰間，存於隱密處，等你的忿怒過去；願你為我定了日期，記念我。
詩篇 102:24
- 28
So I said: "Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days; your years go on through all generations.
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.
But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you."
我說：我的神啊，不要使我中年去世。你的年數世世無窮！
你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。
天地都要滅沒，你卻要長存；天地都要如外衣漸漸舊了。你要將天地如裡衣更換，天地就改變了。
惟有你永不改變；你的年數沒有窮盡。
你僕人的子孫要長存；他們的後裔要堅立在你面前。
以賽亞書 14:9
The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you- all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones- all those who were kings over the nations.
你下到陰間，陰間就因你震動來迎接你，又因你驚動在世曾為首領的陰魂，並使那曾為列國君王的，都離位站起。

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
但現今，你們既從罪裡得了釋放，作了神的奴僕，就有成聖的果子，那結局就是永生。
因為罪的工價乃是死；惟有神的恩賜，在我們的主基督耶穌裡，乃是永生。

and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.
But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive."
因為他們不能再死，和天使一樣；既是復活的人，就為神的兒子。
至於死人復活，摩西在荊棘篇上，稱主是亞伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神，就指示明白了。
神原不是死人的神，乃是活人的神；因為在他那裡（那裡：或作看來），人都是活的。」

who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神！他曾照自己的大憐憫，藉耶穌基督從死裡復活，重生了我們，叫我們有活潑的盼望，

約伯記 4:17
- 21
'Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?
If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,
how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!
Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever.
Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?'
必死的人豈能比神公義嗎？人豈能比造他的主潔淨嗎？
主不信靠他的臣僕，並且指他的使者為愚昧；
何況那住在土房、根基在塵土裡、被蠹蟲所毀壞的人呢？
早晚之間，就被毀滅，永歸無有，無人理會。
他帳棚的繩索豈不從中抽出來呢？他死，且是無智慧而死。
詩篇 16:10
- 11
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間，也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。
你必將生命的道路指示我。在你面前有滿足的喜樂；在你右手中有永遠的福樂。
詩篇 49:14
- 15
They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.
But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.
他們如同羊群派定下陰間；死亡必作他們的牧者。到了早晨，正直人必管轄他們；他們的美容必被陰間所滅，以致無處可存。
只是神必救贖我的靈魂脫離陰間的權柄，因他必收納我。（細拉）

以賽亞書 38:18
- 19
For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
The living, the living-they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.
原來，陰間不能稱謝你，死亡不能頌揚你；下坑的人不能盼望你的誠實。
只有活人，活人必稱謝你，像我今日稱謝你一樣。為父的，必使兒女知道你的誠實。
馬太福音 19:16
- 17
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"

有一個人來見耶穌，說：「夫子（有古卷：良善的夫子），我該做什麼善事才能得永生？」

帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:13
- 18
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
論到睡了的人，我們不願意弟兄們不知道，恐怕你們憂傷，像那些沒有指望的人一樣。
我們若信耶穌死而復活了，那已經在耶穌裡睡了的人，神也必將他與耶穌一同帶來。
我們現在照主的話告訴你們一件事：我們這活著還存留到主降臨的人，斷不能在那已經睡了的人之先。
因為主必親自從天降臨，有呼叫的聲音和天使長的聲音，又有神的號吹響；那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。
以後我們這活著還存留的人必和他們一同被提到雲裡，在空中與主相遇。這樣，我們就要和主永遠同在。
所以，你們當用這些話彼此勸慰。
帖撒羅尼迦後書 1:7
- 10
and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might
on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
也必使你們這受患難的人與我們同得平安。那時，主耶穌同他有能力的天使從天上在火焰中顯現，
要報應那不認識神和那不聽從我主耶穌福音的人。
他們要受刑罰，就是永遠沉淪，離開主的面和他權能的榮光。
這正是主降臨、要在他聖徒的身上得榮耀，又在一切信的人身上顯為希奇的那日子。（我們對你們作的見證，你們也信了。）
猶大書 1:21
keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
保守自己常在神的愛中，仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫，直到永生。

傳道書 3:21
Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"
誰知道人的靈是往上昇，獸的魂是下入地呢？

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有什麼益處呢？人還能拿什麼換生命呢？
