| Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. – Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. |
| Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. |
| Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. … Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. |
| What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. – The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. |
