³And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
⁴So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Isaiah 55:1-3

¹"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

³Incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

¹Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which you also have received, and wherein ye stand,
²by which ye also are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you— unless ye have believed in vain.
³For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
⁴and that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
⁵and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,
⁶and that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some have fallen asleep.
⁷After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
⁸And last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
