1 Corinthians 15:12-20
(12) Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? (13) But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised. (14) If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain. (15) Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised. (16) For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised. (17) If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. (18) Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. (19) If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable. (20) But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
Psalms 17:1,6-8,15
(1) Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips. (6) I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech. (7) Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies. (8) Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings, (15) As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
Luke 8:1-3
(1) Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, (2) and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; (3) and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.
