The innocent one is condemned, And the criminal is acquitted; The blessed is cursed And the cursed is blessed; The Life dies And the dead lives; The Glory is covered with shame, And he who was put to shame Is covered with glory.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3-4
