that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

People For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Leader Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

People We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Leader If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

People “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” Leader The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

People But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

ALL Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain. Amen.
