Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the House of Jacob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah was His sanctification, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled. Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains leaped like rams, and the hills as lambs!
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, why were you turned back?
6 You mountains, why did you leap like rams, and you hills as lambs?
7 The Earth trembled at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the rock into standing water, and the flint into a fountain of water.
36 Then Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said,
37 “behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the threshing place. If the dew appears on the fleece only and it is dry upon the earth, then I shall be sure that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”
38 And so it was. For he rose up early the next day and squeezed the fleece together and wrung the dew out of the fleece and filled a bowl of water.
39 Again, Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, so that I may speak once more. Please let me test once again with the fleece. Let it now be dry only upon the fleece and let dew be upon all the ground.”
40 And God did so the same night. For it was dry upon the fleece only and there was dew on all the ground.
12 Now if it is preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God, that He has raised up Christ, Whom He has not raised up, if it be so that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.
17 And if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain. You are still in your sins.
18 And so those who are asleep in Christ, have perished.
19 If it is only in this life that we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind the most miserable.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead and made the firstfruits of those who slept.
