Life — Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary

In biblical perspective, life flows from the living Father through the Son (his agent in creation and redemption) into a world thirsting for “real” life (see Jn 6:57).

The sign of life is movement; man is a “lively,” animated body (Mt 27:50; Lk 8:55). Animals also have this animating “breath-soul” (Hebrew of Gn 1:24; 6:17). Thus, all nature is instilled with life deriving from God (Acts 17:24-28). Life is therefore sacred, but unfortunately it is as transient as grass, clouds, dew, shadow (1 Chr 29:15; Jb 7:6, 9 OET JOB 7:6 · OET JOB 7:9; Jas 4:13-16; 1 Pt 1:24). Long life is desired (Gn 35:29); any life is preferable to death and of infinite value (Eccl 9:4-6; Mt 6:25; 16:26), for Sheol houses a ghostly “nonliving life,” bereft of feeling, hope, or divine help (Ps 88:3-12). One’s life can be enhanced by loving and serving God (Dt 30:15-20; 1 Pt 3:8-12), by experiencing God’s deliverance (Is 38:16), and by receiving divine blessings (Mt 5:3-12).

The Greek word for “life” is zoe. In classical Greek this word was used for life in general. There are a few examples of this meaning in the New Testament (see Acts 17:25; Jas 4:14: Rv 16:3), but in all other instances the word was used to designate the divine, eternal life—the life of God (Eph 4:18). This life resided in Christ, and he made it available to all who believe in him. Human beings are born with the natural life—called psuche in Greek (translated “soul,” “personality,” or “life”); they do not possess the eternal life. This life can be received only by believing in the one who possesses the zoe-life, namely, Jesus Christ.

The overflowing, vibrant quality of life made available in Christ was evident in the authority of his speech and the power of his touch (Mt 9:18; Mk 1:27, 41-42 OET MRK 1:27 · OET MRK 1:41–42; 5:27-29). He is “the author of life” (Acts 3:15), who provides the way into life (Mt 7:14; 25:46; Mk 8:35-37; 9:42-47). And he raised the dead with his life-giving power. His own resurrection made him “a life-giving spirit,” with the power of “an indestructible life” (Rom 8:2; 1 Cor 15:45; Heb 7:16). Thus, Jesus Christ is “our life” (Col 3:4)—in union with whom we find “newness of life” (Rom 6:4) and are newly created, living henceforth not for ourselves but for him (2 Cor 5:15-17).

OET-LV ROM 6:13

13 Not be _presenting the members of _you _all, as _weapons of _unrighteousness to_ the _sin, but present yourselves to_ the _god, as _if from the_dead living, and the members of _you _all, as _weapons of _righteousness to_ the _god.

Show passage in OET: ROM 5:1–11

OET-RV ROM 5:1

5 So now because we’ve been declared guiltless by our faith, we can have peace with God through our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) Messiah.

OET-RV ROM 5:2

2 Through him we also have access by faith into this generosity that we depend on, and we’re boasting in hope of God’s glory. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

OET-RV ROM 5:3

3 Not only that, but we’re also boasting even though we’re still being persecuted, because we know that difficulties produce endurance,

OET-RV ROM 5:4

4 and endurance shows who we really are, and knowing that produces hope,

OET-RV ROM 5:5

5 and we’re not disgraced by that hope, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit who’s been given to us.

OET-RV ROM 5:6

6 While we were still weak, and at the right time for ungodly people, the messiah died for us.

OET-RV ROM 5:7

7 Now it’s rare for someone to offer to die to save a guiltless person, although perhaps someone might offer for the greater good,

OET-RV ROM 5:8

8 but God demonstrated his love towards us in that the messiah died for us while we were still sinners!

OET-RV ROM 5:9

9 So now that we’ve been declared guiltless because of his blood, we’ll certainly be spared from his severe anger,

OET-RV ROM 5:10

10 because if we were reconciled to God through the death of his son while we were still enemies, now that we’ve been reconciled, how much more certain that we’ll be saved by Yeshua’s (Jesus’; Grk. Yesus’) life!

OET-RV ROM 5:11

11 ⇔And not only that, because of what our master Yeshua Messiah has done so that we might receive that reconciliation, we can now boast in God about it.

OET-LV ROM 5:1

5 Therefore having _been _justified by faith, peace we _may _be _having with the god, through the master of _us, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah,

OET-LV ROM 5:2

2 through whom also the access we _have _had, the by _faith into the grace this, in which we _have _stood, and we _are _boasting in hope of _the glory of_ the _god.

OET-LV ROM 5:3

3 Not and only that, but also we _are _boasting in our tribulations, having _known that the tribulation endurance is _producing,

OET-LV ROM 5:4

4 and the endurance provenness, and the provenness hope.

OET-LV ROM 5:5

5 And the hope not is _disgracing, because the love of_ the _god has _been _poured _out in the hearts of _us through the_spirit holy, the one having _been _given to _us.

OET-LV ROM 5:6

6 Still for chosen _one /messiah, being of _us weak still, according _to the_time for the_ungodly died _off.

OET-LV ROM 5:7

7 For/Because rarely for a_righteous man anyone will _be _dying _off, because/for for the good, possibly someone even is _daring to _die _off.

OET-LV ROM 5:8

8 But is _demonstrating the of _himself love to us the god, that still sinners being of _us, chosen _one /messiah for us died _off.

OET-LV ROM 5:9

9 Therefore by _much more having _been _justified now by the blood of _him, we _will _be _being _saved by him from the severe _anger.

OET-LV ROM 5:10

10 For/Because if enemies being, we _were _reconciled to_ the _god through the death of _the son of _him, by _much more having _been _reconciled, we _will _be _being _saved by the life of _him.

OET-LV ROM 5:11

11 Not and only this, but also boasting in the god, through the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, through whom now the reconciliation we _received.

OET-RV CO1 15:51

51 Listen, I’m explaining a mystery to you all. Not all of us will pass away, but we will all be changed

OET-RV CO1 15:52

52 in an instant, a millisecond, at the last trumpet because the trumpet will sound and the dead will come back to living as immortals, and we’ll be changed.

OET-RV CO1 15:53

53 Yes, it’s essential for this perishable body to become incorruptible and for this mortal to become immortal.

OET-RV CO1 15:54

54 But when this perishable body becomes incorruptible and this mortal becomes immortal, then what was written will come true: ‘Death is replaced by victory.’

OET-RV CO1 15:55

55 ‘Death, where is your victory?
⇔ Yes death, where is your sting?’

OET-RV CO1 15:56

56 Sin is the sting of death, and sin’s power is The Law,

OET-LV CO1 15:53

53 For/Because it _is _fitting the perishable this to _dress _in indestructibility, and the mortal this to _dress _in immortality.

OET-LV CO1 15:54

˓Was˒_swallowed _up the death in victory.

OET-LV CO1 15:55

55 Where is of _you, death, the victory?
Where is of _you, death, the sting?

OET-LV CO1 15:56

56 And the the_sting of_ the _death is the sin, and the the_power of_ the _sin is the law.

All this is possible because from the beginning “all that came to be was alive with his life” (Jn 1:4, neb). Thus, the life within the Father flows into the world through the Son, who also “has life in himself” and gives it to whom he will (5:26). He is “the resurrection and the life” (11:25; 14:6) and demonstrates it by restoring life to paralyzed limbs, raising the dead, and conquering death (5:5-9; 11:43; ch 20). People remain in death only because they will not “come” and “have life” (5:40; cf. 1 Jn 3:14).
