Christ rising from the dead

Alleluia.

Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; *

  therefore let us keep the feast,

Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *

  but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Alleluia.

Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; *

  death no longer has dominion over him.

The death that he died, he died to sin, once for all; *

  but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So also consider yourselves dead to sin, *

 and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Alleluia.

Christ has been raised from the dead, *

  the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by a man came death, *

  by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, *

  so also in Christ shall all be made alive.  Alleluia.
