Heb.9:24-27


24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment

James 3:13-18
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 
15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 
18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
