Wisdom 3:1-9
(1) But the souls of the just are in the hand of God and no torment of death will touch them (2) In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to die, and their departure was considered an affliction (3) and their going away from us, a banishment. Yet they are in peace (4) And though, in the sight of men, they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality (5) Troubled in few things, in many things they will be well compensated, because God has tested them and found them worthy of himself (6) Like gold in the furnace, he has proved them, and as a holocaust victim, he has received them, and in the time of their visitatio (7) they will shine, and they will dash about like sparks among stubble (8) They will judge the nations and they will rule over the people, and their Lord will reign forever (9) Those who trust in him, will understand the truth, and those who are faithful in love will rest in him, because grace and peace is for his elect
Psalms 27:1, 4, 7-9, 13-14
(1) A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit (4) Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution (7) The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him (8) The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ (9) O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity
Romans 5:5-11
(5) but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (6) Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious (7) Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man (8) But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time (9) Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him (10) For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life (11) And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation
John 11:17-27
(17) And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days (18) (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia. (19) And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother (20) Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home (21) And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died (22) But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you. (23) Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again. (24) Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day. (25) Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live (26) And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this? (27) She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.

Psalms 23:1-6
(1) For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it (2) For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers (3) Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place (4) The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor (5) He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour (6) This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob
