Epistle.
1 _Corinthians_ xv. 51, 57.
_Brethren:_ Behold I tell you a mystery: We shall all indeed
rise again; but we shall not all be changed.
{471}
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again
incorruptible; and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must
put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality. And
when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass
the saying that is written: _Death is swallowed up in victory,
O grave, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?_
Now the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the
law. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.


Gospel.
_John_ v. 25, 29.
_At that time:_ Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews:
Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they
that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so
he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself: and he
hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of
man. Wonder not at this, for the hour cometh wherein all that are
in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God. And they
that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection
of life: but they that have done evil unto the resurrection of
judgment.

Lesson.
_Ecclesiastes_ xliv. _and_ xlv.
The blessing of the Lord is on the head of the righteous man.
Therefore did the Lord give him an inheritance, and assign him a
part among the twelve tribes; and he found grace in the sight of
all flesh. And he made him great to the terror of his enemies,
and by his words he tamed monsters. He rendered him glorious in
the presence of kings, and gave him his commandments in the sight
of his people, and showed him his glory. For his faith and
meekness he sanctified him, and made choice of him among all
flesh: and publicly gave him his precepts, and the law of life
and discipline, and highly exalted him. He settled with him an
eternal covenant, and encompassed him with the girdle of
righteousness: and the Lord hath put on him a crown of glory.
