Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.

In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.

I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.

But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.

For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”

He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
