1 Corinthians 15:1-8  New International Version

The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel(A) I preached to you,(B) which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved,(C) if you hold firmly(D) to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received(E) I passed on to you(F) as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins(G) according to the Scriptures,(H) 4 that he was buried,(I) that he was raised(J) on the third day(K) according to the Scriptures,(L) 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b](M) and then to the Twelve.(N) 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.(O) 7 Then he appeared to James,(P) then to all the apostles,(Q) 8 and last of all he appeared to me also,(R) as to one abnormally born.

1 Corinthians 15:24-28  New International Version

24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom(A) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.(B) 25 For he must reign(C) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(D) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(E) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[a](F) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.(G) 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,(H) so that God may be all in all.(I)

Philippians 2:5-11  New International Version

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(A)

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(B)
    did not consider equality with God(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(D)
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(E)
    being made in human likeness.(F)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death(G)—
        even death on a cross!(H)

9 Therefore God exalted him(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,(J)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(L)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Colossians 1:13-22  New International Version

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness(A) and brought us into the kingdom(B) of the Son he loves,(C) 14 in whom we have redemption,(D) the forgiveness of sins.(E)

The Supremacy of the Son of God

15 The Son is the image(F) of the invisible God,(G) the firstborn(H) over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created:(I) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(J) all things have been created through him and for him.(K) 17 He is before all things,(L) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(M) of the body, the church;(N) he is the beginning and the firstborn(O) from among the dead,(P) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(Q) to have all his fullness(R) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(S) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(T) by making peace(U) through his blood,(V) shed on the cross.

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(W) in your minds(X) because of[a] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(Y) you by Christ’s physical body(Z) through death to present you(AA) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(AB)—

And so we will be with the Lord(K) forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another(L) with these words.
