19 Bible Verses about Death, Of Believers

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not.

For I am now ready to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution approaches. I have struggled hard in the honourable contest, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.
