Galatians

2: 14But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live (zaō) like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to behave like Jews?"
2: 19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live (zaō) to God. I have been crucified with Christ;

3: 11Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law; for "The one who is righteous will live (zaō) by faith."

7: 1Do you not know, brothers and sisters - for I am speaking to those who know the law - that the law is binding on a person as long as that person lives (zaō)?
7: 2Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives (zaō); but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.
7: 3Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives (zaō) with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man, she is not an adulteress.
7: 9I was once living (zaō) apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived
8: 12So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live (zaō) according to the flesh
8: 13for if you live (zaō) according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live (zaō).
9: 26"And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called children of the living (zaō) God."
10: 5Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that "the person who does these things will live (zaō) by them."

14: 8If we live (zaō), we live (zaō) to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live (zaō) or whether we die, we are the LORD's.
14: 9For to this end Christ died and lived (zaō) again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living (zaō).

3: 12Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living (zaō) God.
4: 12Indeed, the word of God is living (zaō) and active, sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
7: 8In the one case, tithes are received by those who are mortal; in the other, by one of whom it is testified that he lives (zaō).
7: 25Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he always lives (zaō) to make intercession for them.
9: 14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living (zaō) God!
9: 17For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is living (zaō).
10: 20by the new and living (zaō) way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh),
10: 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living (zaō) God.
10: 38but my righteous one will live (zaō) by faith. My soul takes no pleasure in anyone who shrinks back."

1 Peter

1: 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living (zaō) hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1: 23You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living (zaō) and enduring word of God.
2: 4Come to him, a living (zaō) stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God's sight, and
2: 5like living (zaō) stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
2: 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live (zaō) for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
4: 5But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living (zaō) and the dead.

20: 4Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God.

20: 5(The rest of the dead did not live (zaō) again until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
