"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God (Rom., 1:1)."

      "Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also (II. Cor., 8:7)."

      "And while they looked stedfastly toward [252] heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
      Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven (Acts, 1:10, 11)."

      "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me (Jno., 15:4)."
      "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (I. Jno., 1:3)."

      "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
      So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
      Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (Rom., 12:4, 5, 16)."
      "Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
      That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
      Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God (Rom., 15:5-7)."
      "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
      For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (Rom., 16:17, 18)."

      "I and my Father are one (Jno., 10:30)."
      "And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days (Acts, 10:48)."

      "And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized (Acts, 18:8)."

      "I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints) (I. Cor., 16:15)."

      "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
      God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
      Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
      Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
      For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection (Rom., 6:1-5)."

      "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [253]
      He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark, 16:15, 16)."
      "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Rom., 1:16)."
      "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain (I. Cor., 15:1, 2)."

      "As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were (Rom., 4:17)."

      "Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
      But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord (Jer., 9:23:24)."

      "But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God (I. Cor., 1:24)."

      "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints (Col., 1:26)."

      "And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers (Acts, 3:17)."

      "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him (Isa., 64:4)."

      "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [254]
      He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
      All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you (Jno., 16:13-15)."

      "So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin (Rom., 7:25)."
      "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (Jno., 14:26)."

      "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
      The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God (Rom., 8:15, 16)."

      "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (Jno., 6:63)."
      "Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into (I. Pet., 1:12)."

      "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Heb., 5:14)."
      "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Gen., 2:7)."
      "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luke, 6:45)."
      "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man (Rom., 7:22)."
      "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day (II. Cor., 4:16)."
      "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
      For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
      If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
      For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life (II. Cor., 5:1-4)."
      "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
      That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
      May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
      And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Eph., 3:16-19)."
      "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
      And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him (Col., 3:9, 10)."
      "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
      And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power (Eph., 1:18, 19)."
      "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments (I. Jno., 2:3)."

      "Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself (Job, 15:8)?"
      "Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him (Isa., 40:13)?"
      "For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it (Jer., 23:18)?"
      "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how [255] unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
      For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
      Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
      For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen (Rom., 11:33-36)."

      "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man (I. Cor., 2:15)."

      "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby (I. Pet., 2:2)."

      "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
      For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
      Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be (Rom., 8:5-7)."

      "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (Rom., 10:14)?"
      "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God (I. Cor., 4:1)."
      "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also (II. Tim., 2:2)."

      "After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
      And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
      And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
      And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks (Acts, 18:1-4)."
      "And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
      Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
      For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
      And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them (Acts, 18:8-11)."
      "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples (Acts, 19:1)."
      "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved (Acts, 2:47)."
      "Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God (Rom., 15:7)."

      "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen (I. Pet., 4:11)."

      "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity (II. Tim., 2:19)."

      "But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
      And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness (Mal., 3:2, 3)."
      "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch (Mal., 4:1)."
      "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ (I. Pet., 1:7)."
      "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
      But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy (I. Pet., 4:12, 13)."

      "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity (Ps., 94:11)."

      "For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
      For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
      Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man (I. Cor., 3:3-5)?"

      "And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
      Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
      Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath (Luke, 12:42-44)."

      "For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
      Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man (I. Cor., 3:4, 5)."

      "John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven (Jno., 3:27)."

      "And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them (Acts, 18:11)."
      "Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
      Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation (Rom., 15:19, 20)."
      "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase (I. Cor., 3:6)."
      "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you (Gal., 4:19)."
      "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake (I. Thess., 1:5)."
      "I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my hands (Phile. 1:10)."
      "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures (Jas., 1:18)."
      "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
      By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments (I. Jno., 5:1, 2)."

      "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (I. Cor., 2:4)."

      "The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness (Lev., 18:8)."

      "And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. [258]
      But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
      And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life (Job, 2:4-6)." "Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand (Ps., 109:6)."

      "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth (Isa., 53:7)."

      "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
      Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees (Matt., 16:6, 12)."

      "Covetousness, which is idolatry (Col., 3:5)."
      "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
      If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
      For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds (II. Jno., 1:9-11)."

      "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
      And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
      Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother (II. Thess., 3:6, 14, 15)."

      "Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan., 7:22)."

      "For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within (I. Cor., 5:12)?"

      "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit (Titus, 3:5)."
      "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water (Heb., 10:22)."

      That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
      For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (I. Thess., 4:3, 4, 7)."

      "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
      I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me (Jno., 17:22, 23)."

      "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you (I. Cor., 3:16)?"

      "He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing (Jno., 15:5)."

      "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
      The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light (Rom., 13:11, 12)."

      "Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them (Ps., 39:6)."

      "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
      For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
      So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man (Rom., 7:1-3)."

      "That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well (Acts, 15:29)."

      "Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers (Mal., 2:10)?"

      "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
      For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
      Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
      For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
      It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother [262] stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak (Rom., 14:17-21)."

      Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. [263]
      Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek (Acts, 16:1-3)."

      "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
      Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another (Rom., 2:14, 15)."

      He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers (Ps., 78:15, 16)."

      "Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
      Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me (Num., 14:28, 29)."
      "Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
      But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
      Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness (Ps., 106:24-26)."

      "And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
      We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick (Num., 11:4, 5)."

      "Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear (Rom., 11:20)."

      "For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity (Ps., 125:3)."
      "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

      "Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands (Ecc., 5:6)?"

      "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
      He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings (I. Tim., 6:3, 4)." [266]

      Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit (Acts, 8:14-17)."
      "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word.

      God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will (Heb., 2:3, 4)?"

      "For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
      To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
      But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken (Isa., 28:11-13)."

      "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world (I. Jno., 4:1)."

      "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
      And also upon the servants and upon the [271] handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit (Joel, 2:28, 29)."
      "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
      And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
      And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy (Acts, 2:16-18)."

      "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee (Gen., 3:16)."

      "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
      Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
      And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself (Luke, 24:25-27)."
      "And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
      God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
      And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David (Acts, 13:32-34)."
      "Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
      That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles (Acts, 26:22, 23)."

      "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
      Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: [273]
      And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church (Eph., 1:20-22)."

      And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (Jno., 5:28, 29)."

      "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
      Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
      For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection (Rom., 6:3-5)."
      "But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen (I. Cor., 15:13)."

      "As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter (Rom., 8:36)."

      Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
      Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
      And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord (Ezek., 37:3-6)."

      "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit (Jno., 12:24)."

      "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
      And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever (Dan., 12:2, 3)."

      "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live (Jno., 5:25)."
      "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first (I. Thess., 4:16)."

      "For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life (II. Cor., 5:4)."

      "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law (I. Jno., 3:4)."

      "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
      And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
      His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
      And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
      And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
      He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay (Matt., 28:1-6)."
      "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight (Acts, 20:7)."
