For you know that it was not with the perishable things such as silver and gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
                                                                                                                                  ---1 Peter 1:18-19

I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may loved the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
                                                                        ---Deuteronomy 30:19-20
