Jesus asks Martha a question...

John 11:25-26 NKJV (Emphasis mine)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

What does Jesus mean by, though he may die, he shall live?

The well known song, 'It is well with my soul' was written by a man who had known much heartache. But Horatio Spafford knew that it was well with his soul. 
Jesus has risen! He has risen indeed! 
And, it is well with my soul.

The Virtuous Wife (verse 31)

Proverbs 31:31 NKJV

Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

The Virtuous Wife (verse 30)

Proverbs 31:30 NKJV
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD,
she shall be praised.
Charm: the power or quality of delighting, attracting, or fascinating others. (Google.)
Passing: the passage of something, especially time. (Google.)
Fear: reverential awe.

This wife knows that charm is insincere, and that (external) beauty suffers from the passage of time. She knows that fearing the LORD is the best thing to be praised for.

The Virtuous Wife (verse 29)

Proverbs 31:29 NKJV
Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.

Daughter: having the characteristics or relationship of a daughter, andsomething considered as a daughter. (Merriam-Webster). 

This wife is referred to as a daughter. This verse reminds me of Ruth in the book of Ruth in the Bible. One who supports others who are hurting, lost or alone, rather than looking out for oneself. 

This is what love is. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8.

The Virtuous Wife (verse 28)

Proverbs 31:28 NKJV
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:

Did you know that a blessed person is not merely the one who is thriving with good health, great wealth or material prosperity. From a Biblical point of view, a blessed person is first and foremost a man or woman who is in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and who no longer submits to the world but now submits to the word. (Internet Archive.)

Praise: express warm approval or admiration of. (Google).
