looking unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured [the] cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and discouraged in your souls.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

"Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to seat [Him] on his throne,

God, from the seed of this [man], according to the promise, has brought to Israel salvation,

concerning His Son, who came of [the] seed of David according to the flesh,

who was declared Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of [the] dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, to open the scroll and its seven seals."

Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

whom God raised, [thus] doing away with the labor pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

Now I made known to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised.

And we are found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we bore witness concerning God, that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise--if in fact the dead are not raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins!

If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men according to my gospel through Jesus Christ.

[] Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery kept secret since the world began,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, [with] which I was entrusted.

for which I was appointed a herald and apostle--I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie--a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.
