Immortality of the Soul

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Christ hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

This mortal must put on immortality; death swallowed up in victory.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

This mortal must put on immortality; death swallowed up in victory.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Today shalt thou be with me in paradise — soul's conscious continuance.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

To them who seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Souls under the altar — conscious existence after death.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Souls under the altar — conscious existence after death.

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Souls under the altar — conscious existence after death.
