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

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

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

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”

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?”

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

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

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

I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

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?”

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…

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.‬

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners, creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace, to those far and near. And I will heal them.”

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
