傳道書 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
神造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永生（原文作永遠）安置在世人心裡。然而神從始至終的作為，人不能參透。
彼得前書 1:21
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
你們也因著他，信那叫他從死裡復活、又給他榮耀的神，叫你們的信心和盼望都在於神。
傳道書 3:1
- 2
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。
生有時，死有時；栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時；
約伯記 5:26
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.
你必壽高年邁才歸墳墓，好像禾捆到時收藏。
傳道書 12:7
and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
塵土仍歸於地，靈仍歸於賜靈的神。
提摩太後書 4:6
- 8
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
我現在被澆奠，我離世的時候到了。
那美好的仗我已經打過了，當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了。
從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按著公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的；不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。
啟示錄 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."
我聽見從天上有聲音說：「你要寫下：從今以後，在主裡面而死的人有福了！聖靈說：「是的，他們息了自己的勞苦，作工的果效也隨著他們。」
啟示錄 21:1
- 4
Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
我又看見一個新天新地；因為先前的天地已經過去了，海也不再有了。
我又看見聖城新耶路撒冷由神那裡從天而降，預備好了，就如新婦妝飾整齊，等候丈夫。
我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說：「看哪，神的帳幕在人間。他要與人同住，他們要作他的子民。神要親自與他們同在，作他們的神。
神要擦去他們一切的眼淚；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛，因為以前的事都過去了。」
啟示錄 22:3
- 5
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
以後再沒有咒詛；在城裡有神和羔羊的寶座；他的僕人都要事奉他，
也要見他的面。他的名字必寫在他們的額上。
不再有黑夜；他們也不用燈光、日光，因為主神要光照他們。他們要作王，直到永永遠遠。
哥林多後書 5:1
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
我們原知道，我們這地上的帳棚若拆毀了，必得神所造，不是人手所造，在天上永存的房屋。
詩篇 91:1
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
住在至高者隱密處的，必住在全能者的蔭下。
箴言 16:31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.
白髮是榮耀的冠冕，在公義的道上必能得著。
