¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^(A)then not even Christ has been raised.

¹¹ If the Spirit of ^(A)him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus^[a] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^(B)through his Spirit who dwells in you.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“I am the resurrection and ^(B)the life.^[a] Whoever believes in me, ^(C)though he die, ^(D)yet shall he live, ²⁶ and everyone who lives and believes in me ^(E)shall never die. Do you believe this?”

¹⁴ For ^(A)since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him ^(B)those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁸ and the living one. ^(A)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^(B)I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Born Again to a Living Hope

^3 (A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! ^(B)According to his great mercy, ^(C)he has caused us to be born again to a living hope ^(D)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

^10 (A)always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, ^(B)so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. ¹¹ For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So ^(C)death is at work in us, but life in you.

¹³ Since we have ^(D)the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^(E)“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(F)he who raised the Lord Jesus ^(G)will raise us also with Jesus and ^(H)bring us with you into his presence.

²⁴ but for ours also. It will be counted to us ^(A)who believe in ^(B)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, ^25 (C)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ^(D)for our justification.

Benediction

²⁰ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(C)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(D)the blood of the eternal covenant,
