THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

“I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth."-Revelation xiv. 13.

ESUS saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up

us by His own power. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall habe put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saping that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. death, where is thy sting? O grabe, where is thy bictory ? The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which gibeth us the bictory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
