Where can I find good Bible quotes on the soul?
Hi,
I am encountering a vast ignorance of the existence and nature of the human soul, and want to find good Bible quotes, quotes from saints, doctors, theologians, popes of the Church etc, that I could just post on Facebook, so that I can get people to be more conscious and aware of their own and other people's souls. Quick short quotes that focus on the soul will be best. As long as they are doctrinally sound and come from good sources. I just want to get the thought of the soul resonating in people's minds, because there is no true spirituality without knowledge of one's own and other human beings immortal souls.
Do you have any suggestions, resources, websites, or whatnot?
God bless you all,
Joshua

Matthew 10:28
English Standard Version (ESV)
28 And (A)do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him (B)who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[a]
Revelation 6:9-11
English Standard Version (ESV)
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under (A)the altar (B)the souls of those who had been slain (C)for the word of God and for (D)the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, (E)holy and true, (F)how long (G)before you will judge and (H)avenge our blood on (I)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given (J)a white robe and (K)told to rest a little longer, (L)until the number of their fellow servants[a] and their brothers[b] (M)should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.]
Ezekiel 18:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: (A)the soul who sins shall die.
Ezekiel 18:20
English Standard Version (ESV)
20 (A)The soul who sins shall die. (B)The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. (C)The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, (D)and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Re: Where can I find good Bible quotes on the soul?
"May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.". 1 Thes 5:23 (rsv)
It's best to keep in mind the scriptures don't often make much of a distinction between body and soul esp. in the OT
