Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
15 The sound of (C)joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The (D)right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
16 The (E)right hand of Yahweh is exalted;
The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
17 I (F)will not die; indeed I will live,
And (G)recount the works of Yah.
18 Yah has (H)disciplined me severely,
But He has (I)not given me over to death.
20 Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth [a]across the face of the [b]expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God created (A)the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 (B)Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after [c]their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after [d]their kind”; and it was so. 25 God made the (C)beasts of the earth after [e]their kind, and the cattle after [f]their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let (D)Us make (E)man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have (F)dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [g]sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 And God created man (G)in His own image, in the image of God He created him; (H)male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “(I)Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [h]sky and over every living thing that creeps on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Behold, (J)I have given to you every plant yielding seed that is on the [i]surface of all the earth, and every tree [j]which has the fruit of the tree yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and (K)to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the [k]sky and to every thing that creeps on the earth [l]which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31 And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very (L)good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all (M)their hosts. 2 And [m]on (N)the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and (O)He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created [n]in making it.
The Generations of the Heavens and the Earth
4 (P)These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in (Q)the day that [o]Yahweh God made earth and heaven.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that (A)flesh and blood cannot (B)inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the corruptible inherit (C)the incorruptible. 51 Behold, I tell you a (D)mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be (E)changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For (F)the trumpet will sound, and (G)the dead will be raised incorruptible, and (H)we will be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on (I)the incorruptible, and this (J)mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this corruptible puts on the incorruptible, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the word that is written, “(K)Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 (L)O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 Now the sting of (M)death is sin, and (N)the power of sin is the law; 57 but (O)thanks be to God, who gives us the (P)victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 (Q)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in (R)the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
