Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for
that all have sinned: V17 For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.) V18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment
came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness
of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.

Acts 8:35-37 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the
same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on
their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said,
See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And
Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God.
1 Corinthians 11:25-27 After the same manner also he took the
cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance
of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye
do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall
eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto
them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 35:41 Then shall he say also unto
them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: V46 And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
1 Corinthians 15:49-54 And as we have borne the image of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I
shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. 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.
