12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christwhom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have died* in Christ have perished. 19If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.*

1 Hear my just cause, O Lord; consider my complaint; ♦︎
listen to my prayer, which comes not from lying lips.
2 Let my vindication come forth from your presence; ♦︎
let your eyes behold what is right.
3 Weigh my heart, examine me by night, ♦︎
refine me, and you will find no impurity in me.
4 My mouth does not trespass for earthly rewards; ♦︎
I have heeded the words of your lips.
5 My footsteps hold fast in the ways of your commandments; ♦︎
my feet have not stumbled in your paths.
6 I call upon you, O God, for you will answer me; ♦︎
incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
7 Show me your marvellous loving-kindness, ♦︎
O Saviour of those who take refuge at your right hand
from those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; ♦︎
hide me under the shadow of your wings,

8Soon afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, 2as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3and Joanna, the wife of Herods steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them* out of their resources.
