That liveth

Yet a little while and the world beholds me no more; but you shall behold me; because I live, you shall live also.

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him.

for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God; and we also are weak in him, but live with him by the power of God in you.

I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God;

whence also he is able to save forever those who come to God through him, always living to intercede for them.

Was

for if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

For the love of Christ constrains us, judging this, that if one died for all then were all dead;

who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God.

I am alive

And when the cherubs gave glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne who lives forever and ever,

And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped:

who was not a priest after the law of an external commandment, but after the power of imperishable life.

The keys

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says the Holy One, the True, he that has the key of David, he that opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open,

And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth, and there was given him the key of the pit of the abyss.

And I saw an angel descending from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you unbind on the earth shall be unbound in heaven.

General references

But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised;

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.
