More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

For as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son gives life to whom He wills.

so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Most assuredly I say to you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those having heard shall live.

and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is [the] Son of Man.

and shall come forth--those who have done good, to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it [up] again. This command I have received from My Father."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

And everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

foreseeing [this], he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, "that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption."

"Therefore having being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

Till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."

Now having heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brothers, what shall we do?"

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified [with Him], so that the body of sin may be done away with, [that] we should no longer serve sin.

But if we died with Christ, we believe that also we should live together with Him,

For what [death] He died, He died to sin once for all; but what [life] He lives, He lives to God.

But if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit indwelling in you.

For since by a man death [came], also by a Man comes the resurrection of the dead.

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ at His coming.

who delivered us from so great a death, and is delivering [us]; in whom we trust that He will still deliver [us],

always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be revealed in our body.

So then death is working in us, but life in you.

For although He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we are weak in Him, yet we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

above every ruler and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the coming [age].

And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at [the] right [hand] of God.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose [again], thus also God will bring with Him those who die in Jesus.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall by no means precede those who are dead.

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves [with] the same mind, because he who suffered in [the] flesh has ceased from sin,

that he no longer should live the remaining time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

I am He who lives, and became dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism [with] which I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is to [those] for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

Or do you not know that as many [of us] as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be [in the likeness] of [His] resurrection;

And if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.

Because whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Because just as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the church,

Faithful is this word: For if we died with [Him], we shall also live with [Him].

If we endure, we shall also reign with [Him]. If we deny [Him], He also will deny us.

but inasmuch as you partake in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, in order that also at the unveiling of His glory, you may rejoice with great happiness.

If you are reviled in the name of Christ, blessed are you, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On the one hand He is blasphemed, but on the other He is glorified.
