6 God has blessed those who rise this first time, and they are holy. They will not die the second kind of death. But they will be priests of God and of Christ. They will rule with him for the thousand years.
22 God has always helped me up to today. I have stood and talked to both small people and great people. I have said nothing more than what the prophets and Moses said would happen.
23 They said Christ must suffer. They said he would be the first person to rise from death. He would be the first person to bring news of light to the Jews and those who are not Jews.
18 He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.
19 They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.
21 It was a man who first brought death. So it was also a man who was first raised from death.
6 He is not here. He has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee.
7 He said that the Son of Man would be given over to bad men. He would be nailed to a cross, and he would rise on the third day.
14 We tell you what the Lord said. We who are still alive when the Lord comes, will not go ahead of those who have died.
14 He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.
15 So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.
6 He said, Do not be surprised. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was nailed to a cross. He is risen. He is not here. Look, here is where they laid him.
21 The water of baptism is like that. It saves you. It does not save you because it washes dirt from your bodies. But it saves you because you bring yourselves to God with a clean heart. It saves you because Jesus Christ has been raised from death.
5 Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.
6 We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
8 Then the other disciple, who got there first, also went in. He saw and believed.
9 Until this time they did not understand the holy writings where it says, He must rise from death.
12 I saw the dead people, those who were great and those not great. They were standing in front of Gods throne. Some books were opened. And another book was opened which is the book of life. The dead people were judged by the things they had done, which were written in the books.
13 The dead people in the sea came out. People came out of death and the world of the dead. One by one, each one was judged by the things he had done.
20 God gives peace. He brought back our Lord Jesus from death. Our Lord Jesus cares for Gods people and he gave his blood for the agreement that stands for ever.
21 May God give you everything good so that you will do what he wants you to do. He will do in us, through Jesus Christ, what pleases him. Praise him for ever. May it be so!
10 I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.
3 I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.
4 He was buried. He was raised on the third day, as the holy writings said.
25 Jesus said, I am the one who will raise people up and give them life. The person who believes in me will live, even though he has died.
26 Anyone who is living and who believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?
5 The angel talked to the women. He said, Do not fear. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross.
6 He is not here. He has risen, as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He was very kind to us, and made us his children. So we have a new hope. This hope is a living hope because Jesus Christ was raised from death.
