For their rock is not as our Rock,. . .
Deuteronomy 32:31

5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked:. . .
14 They DIE in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Job 36:5,6,14

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own DEATH.
Proverbs 11:19

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of DEATH.
Proverbs 14:12

For the wages of sin is DEATH;
BUT the gift of God is eternal LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting LIFE:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the WRATH of God ABIDETH ON HIM.
John 3:36

15 See, I have set before thee this day LIFE and GOOD, and DEATH and EVIL;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, blessing and cursing: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Deuteronomy 30:15-19
WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?

I Choose life!    I CHOOSE LIFE.
I Choose death!    I CHOOSE DEATH.
