⁶ Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years.

²² And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

²³ That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.

²⁴ And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

¹⁸ See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

¹⁹ And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.

²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

²¹ For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.

⁶ He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

⁷ The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

⁸ And his words came back into their minds,

¹⁴ For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

¹⁴ For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

¹⁵ And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

¹⁶ For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

⁶ And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!

²¹ And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;

⁸ Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

⁹ For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

¹⁰ So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

⁵ For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

⁶ Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

⁷ Because he who is dead is free from sin.

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.

¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works.

¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire.

³ For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

⁴ And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

⁵ And he was seen by Cephas; then by the twelve;

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

²⁶ And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

²⁷ She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

²¹ Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

²² But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

⁵ And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

⁶ He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

⁷ And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹⁰ That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;
