I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God.”
