1Now I declare to you,brothers, the Good News which I preached to you,which also you received,in which you also stand,2by which also you are saved,if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3For I delivered to you first of allthat which I also received:that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,4that he was buried,that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once,most of whom remain until now,but some have also fallen asleep.7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,8and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time,he appeared to me also.9For I am the least of the apostles,who is not worthy to be called an apostle,because I persecuted the assembly of God.10But by the grace of God I am what I am.His grace which was given to me was not futile,but I worked more than all of them;yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.11Whether then it is I or they,so we preach, and so you believed.

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.2Let Israel now saythat his loving kindness endures forever.

16The right hand of the Lord is exalted!The right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”17I will not die, but live,and declare the Lord’s works.

28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.You are my God, I will exalt you.

25But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother,his mother’s sister,Mary the wife of Clopas,and Mary Magdalene.26Therefore when Jesus saw his mother,and the disciple whom he loved standing there,he said to his mother,“Woman, behold, your son!”27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
