Corantaigh 15: 12-20

15:12 Now if Christ is preached, that he rose again from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

15:13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.

15:14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is useless, and your faith is also useless.

15:15 Ansin, freisin, we would be found to be false witnesses of God, because we would have given testimony against God, saying that he had raised up Christ, when he had not raised him up, dá, cínte, the dead do not rise again.

15:16 For if the dead do not rise again, then neither has Christ risen again.

15:17 But if Christ has not risen, then your faith is vain; for you would still be in your sins.

15:18 Ansin, freisin, those who have fallen asleep in Christ would have perished.

15:19 If we have hope in Christ for this life only, then we are more miserable than all men.

15:20 Ach anois tá Críost éirithe arís ó mhairbh, mar chéadtorthaí na ndaoine a chodlaíonn.

Lúcás 8: 1-3

8:1 Agus tharla ina dhiaidh sin go raibh sé ag déanamh aistir trí na cathracha agus na bailte, ag seanmóireacht agus ag soiscéaladh ríocht Dé. Agus bhí an dáréag in éineacht leis,

8:2 mar aon le mná áirithe a bhí leighis ó spiorad olc agus easláin: Máire, ar a dtugtar Magdalene, ónar imigh seacht ndeamhain,

8:3 agus Joanna, bean chéile Chuza, maor Heroid, agus Susanna, agus go leor ban eile, a bhí ag ministreacht dó óna gcuid acmhainní.
