Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

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?

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

Mary’s Song

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord

so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Living Godly Lives in a Pagan Society

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.

For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
