From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.

Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.

Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

Exodus 13:1-2

13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.'

Exodus 13:11-16

11 `And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it to thee,

12 that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling -- the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males [are] Jehovah's.

13 `And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom [it], then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.

14 `And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [is] this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;

15 yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who [are] males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;

16 and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.'

1 Corinthians 15:51-58

51 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed;

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we -- we shall be changed:

53 for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up -- to victory;

55 where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?'

56 and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;

57 and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

58 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

Luke 24:1-12

24 And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,

and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,

and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee,

saying -- It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'

And they remembered his sayings,

and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,

11 and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

12 And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
