إِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي هذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ فَقَطْ رَجَاءٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، فَإِنَّنَا أَشْقَى جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.
وَلكِنِ الآنَ قَدْ قَامَ الْمَسِيحُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ وَصَارَ بَاكُورَةَ الرَّاقِدِينَ.
(١ كو١٥ :١٩ -٢٠ )

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

(1 Corinthians 15:19-20, NIV)
