But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.
1 Corinthians 15:20
And now, in my old age, don't set me aside. Don't abandon me when my strength is failing.
Psalm 71:9
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Lord, I fear no foe with you at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still if you abide with me. Amen.†
