"Wis 3:1  But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them.
Wis 3:2  In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery:
Wis 3:3  And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace.
Wis 3:4  And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.
Wis 3:5  Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.
Wis 3:6  As gold in the furnace, he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust, he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them.
Wis 3:7  The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds.
Wis 3:8  They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
Wis 3:9  They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect."
Wisdom 3:1-9

"Psa 27:1  The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:4  One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
Psa 27:7  Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
Psa 27:8  My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
Psa 27:9  Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
Psa 27:13  I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
Psa 27:14  Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord."

"Mat 25:31  And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
Mat 25:32  And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
Mat 25:34  Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Mat 25:35  For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Mat 25:36  Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Mat 25:37  Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?
Mat 25:38  Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee?
Mat 25:39  Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?
Mat 25:40  And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
Mat 25:41  Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
Mat 25:42  For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink.
Mat 25:43  I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
Mat 25:44  Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee?
Mat 25:45  Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
Mat 25:46  And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting."
Matthew 25:31-46

"Rom 6:3  Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death?
Rom 6:4  For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
Rom 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
Rom 6:7  For he that is dead is justified from sin.
Rom 6:8  Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ.
Rom 6:9  Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more. Death shall no more have dominion over him."
Romans 6:3-9
