White envelope has items 744 & 745.

Taking life as a whole, there is no distinction between quantity and quality, for only the good life can be the abundant life. This makes the quality of life coincident with its quantity, or vice versa. The Christian promise of abundant life is predicated on a better kind of life. When the animal man is born into his spiritual nature, that is, his distinctively human nature, he becomes in his attitude and practice towards his fellow men, he then leads a better life. /Sentence edited/ Through living better, he lives longer, more abundantly. Thus Christ said “abundant life,” and that included the quality, because the quantity couldn’t be great unless the quality was high.

/Aside:/ It sufficed to say only abundant life, instead of abundant and good life.
