1 Kings 19:1-3

Elijah Flees Jezebel

1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how ^ahe had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^b“So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” 3 Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to ^cBeersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

Proverbs 29:25

25 ^dThe fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.

Matthew 10:23

23 When they ^epersecute you in one town, ^fflee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel ^gbefore the Son of Man comes.

Matthew 10:28

28 And ^hdo not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him ⁱwho can destroy both soul and body in hell. ^{▼▼Greek Gehenna}

Matthew 10:39

39 ^kWhoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Matthew 16:25-26

25 For ^lwhoever would save his life ^{▼▼The same Greek word can mean either soul or life, depending on the context; twice in this verse and twice in verse 26} will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For ⁿwhat will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or ^owhat shall a man give in return for his soul?
