Bible Verses About Death

For someone who has died has been cleared from sin.

Now since we died with the Messiah, we trust that we will also live with him.

We know that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, never to die again; death has no authority over him.

For his death was a unique event that need not be repeated; but his life, he keeps on living for God.

In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God, by your union with the Messiah Yeshua.

Surely you know, brothers — for I am speaking to those who understand Torah — that the Torah has authority over a person only so long as he lives?

For example, a married woman is bound by Torah to her husband while he is alive; but if the husband dies, she is released from the part of the Torah that deals with husbands.

Therefore, while the husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress if she marries another man; but if the husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah; so that if she marries another man, she is not an adulteress.

Thus, my brothers, you have been made dead with regard to the Torah through the Messiah’s body, so that you may belong to someone else, namely, the one who has been raised from the dead, in order for us to bear fruit for God.

For when we were living according to our old nature, the passions connected with sins worked through the Torah in our various parts, with the result that we bore fruit for death.

But now we have been released from this aspect of the Torah, because we have died to that which had us in its clutches, so that we are serving in the new way provided by the Spirit and not in the old way of outwardly following the letter of the law.

Therefore, what are we to say? That the Torah is sinful? Heaven forbid! Rather, the function of the Torah was that without it, I would not have known what sin is. For example, I would not have become conscious of what greed is if the Torah had not said, “Thou shalt not covet.”

But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of evil desires — for apart from Torah, sin is dead.

I was once alive outside the framework of Torah. But when the commandment really encountered me, sin sprang to life,

and I died. The commandment that was intended to bring me life was found to be bringing me death!

For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me; and through the commandment, sin killed me.

However, if the Messiah is in you, then, on the one hand, the body is dead because of sin; but, on the other hand, the Spirit is giving life because God considers you righteous.

And if the Spirit of the One who raised Yeshua from the dead is living in you, then the One who raised the Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.

For none of us lives only in relation to himself, and none of us dies only in relation to himself;

for if we live, we live in relation to the Lord; and if we die, we die in relation to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord —

So let no one boast about human beings, for all things are yours —

whether Sha’ul or Apollos or Kefa or the world or life or death or the present or the future: they all belong to you,

and you belong to the Messiah, and the Messiah belongs to God.

For since death came through a man, also the resurrection of the dead has come through a man.

For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive.
