- Psalms 71:20
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
Commentary on Psalms 71:201 voice
Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles,.... Or, "made him to see" (g); that is, to experience.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 80:18
Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.

So will not we go back from thee,....

- John 5:21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
Commentary on John 5:211 voice
For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, so the Son too quickeneth whom He will. See again in these words clear proof of His Equality. For He That worketh equally in respect of the reviving of the dead, how can He have inferiority in ought? or how shall He be of another nature and alien to the Father Who is radiant with the Same Properties? For the Power of quickening, which is in the Father alike and the Son, is a Property of the Divine Essence.
Cyril of Alexandria· Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 2, 444Patristic
- John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
Commentary on John 6:631 voice
Learn now that as the Father is the Fount of life, so, too, many have stated that the Son is signified as the Fount of life. This is why he says that with you, almighty God, your Son is the Fount of life. That is the Fount of the Holy Spirit, for the Spirit is life, as the Lord says: "The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life," for where the Spirit is, there also is life. And where life is, there is also the Holy Spirit.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Holy Spirit 1.15.172, 397Patristic
- Romans 4:17
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
Commentary on Romans 4:171 voice
And he added in what follows: "Who quickens the dead, and calls those things which are not as those which are." Here we understand the dead according to the sin of the soul, since he says, "the soul which sins shall die."
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Commentary on Romans 8:111 voice
He declares in the plainest manner, that the same Being who was laid hold of, and underwent suffering, and shed His blood for us, was both Christ and the Son of God, who did also rise again, and was taken up into heaven, as he himself [Paul] says: "But at the same time, [it, is] Christ [that] died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God."
Irenaeus· Irenaeus Against Heresies Book 3, 202Patristic
- 1 Corinthians 15:45
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:451 voice
For there had been a necessity that, in the first place, a human being should be fashioned, and that what was fashioned should receive the soul; afterwards that it should thus receive the communion of the Spirit. Wherefore also "the first Adam was made" by the Lord "a living soul, the second Adam a quickening spirit." As, then, he who was made a living soul forfeited life when he turned aside to what was evil, so, on the other hand, the same individual, when he reverts to what is good, and receives the quickening Spirit, shall find life.
Irenaeus· Irenaeus Against Heresies Book 5, 202Patristic
- 2 Corinthians 3:6
And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:61 voice
Rightly therefore does Paul say that the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. For the letter circumcises a small portion of the body; the understanding spirit keeps the circumcision of the whole soul and body; that the superfluous parts being cut off, (for nothing is so superfluous as the vices of avarice, the sins of lust, which nature had not, but sin caused,) chastity might be observed, and frugality loved. The sign therefore is bodily circumcision, but the truth is spiritual circumcision, the one cuts off the member, the other cuts off sin.
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 74, To Irenaeus, 397Patristic
- Ephesians 2:1
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
Commentary on Ephesians 2:11 voice
[The Greeks] speak of trespass as the first step toward sin. It is when a secret thought steals in, and, though we offer a measure of collusion, it does not yet drive us on to ruin.… But sin is something else. It is when the collusion is actually completed and reaches its goal.
Jerome· Commentary on Ephesians 2:1-5, 420Patristic
- 1 Timothy 6:13
I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:
Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:131 voice
What is this deposit? Is it so secret as to be supposed to characterize a new doctrine? or is it a part of that charge of which he says, "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy? " and also of that precept of which he says, "I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Jesus Christ who witnessed a good confession under Pontius Pilate, that thou keep this commandment? " Now, what is (this) commandment and what is (this) charge?
Tertullian· The Prescription Against Heretics, 220Patristic
- 1 Peter 3:18
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,
Commentary on 1 Peter 3:182 voices
The reason is presented, not for what was said immediately before, but for what was said a little earlier, namely for the words: "if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed" (1 Pet. 3:14); because it is better to suffer evil for good deeds …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on 1 Peter, 1107Patristic
This Body it was that was laid in a grave, when the Word had left it, yet was not parted from it, to preach, as Peter says, also to the spirits in prison [1 Peter 3:19]. And this above all shows the foolishness of those who say that the Word was changed into bones and flesh. For if this had been so, there were no need of a tomb. For the Body would have gone by itself to preach to the spirits in Hades.
Athanasius of Alexandria· Letter 59, Sections 5-6, 373Patristic
