For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.”

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
