Jesus Christ...

the ruler of kings of earth.

To Him who loves us

and has freed us from our sins by His blood.

But our citizenship is in heaven,

and from it we await a Savior,

the Lord Jesus Christ.

we are of all people most to be pitied.

1 Cor. 15:19

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,

set your hearts on things above, 

where Christ is, 

seated at the right hand of God.
