Texts and Translations
English text
I Cor.5:7b Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: I Cor.5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast: not with the old leaven nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Rom.6:9 Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over him. Rom.6:10 For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Rom.6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin: but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. I Cor.15:20 Christ is risen from the dead: and become the first-fruits of them that slept. I Cor.15:21 For since by man came death: by man came also the resurrection of the dead. I Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive. |
Alleluia. |
