It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
