resurrection of christ

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:

²⁵Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.

¹Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared. ²And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb. ³And upon entering, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel. ⁵Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: “Why do you seek the living with the dead? ⁶He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,

¹¹But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.

⁹For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.

⁴For through baptism we have been buried with him into death, so that, in the manner that Christ rose from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in the newness of life.

³¹For he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in equity, through the man whom he has appointed, offering faith to all, by raising him from the dead.”

¹And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand. ²By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain. ³For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; ⁴and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures; ⁵and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. ⁶Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.

¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, so also will God bring back with Jesus those who sleep in him.

²⁰But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.

⁹For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
