Acts 10:34-43
New King James Version
Preaching to Cornelius’ Household
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: (A)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But (B)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is (C)accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the [a]children of Israel, (D)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—(E)He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and (F)began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how (G)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who (H)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, (I)for God was with Him. 39 And we are (J)witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom [b]they (K)killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him (L)God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 (M)not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us (N)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And (O)He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify (P)that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge (Q)of the living and the dead. 43 (R)To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, (S)whoever believes in Him will receive (T)remission[c] of sins.”

New King James Version
Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy
2 (C)Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
Psalm 118:14-24
New King James Version
14 (A)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 (B)The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 (C)I shall not die, but live,
And (D)declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has (E)chastened[a] me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19 (F)Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20 (G)This is the gate of the Lord,
(H)Through which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise You,
For You have (I)answered me,
And have become my salvation.
22 (J)The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 [b]This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

The Last Enemy Destroyed
20 But now (B)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become (C)the firstfruits of those who have [a]fallen asleep. 21 For (D)since by man came death, (E)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall (F)be made alive. 23 But (G)each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers (H)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign (I)till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 (J)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

New King James Version
He Is Risen(A)
24 Now (B)on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, [a]and certain other women with them, came to the tomb (C)bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 (D)But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 (E)Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were [b]greatly perplexed about this, that (F)behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! (G)Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be (H)delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”
8 And (I)they remembered His words. 9 (J)Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, (K)Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 (L)And their words seemed to them like [c]idle tales, and they did not believe them. 12 (M)But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths [d]lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
