Thanks everyone. I chose an old testament and new testament passage for the wake and funeral.
Wisdom 3:1-8
Romans 6:4-11
Psalms 71:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 15-17
First Corinthians13:4-13
They are all quite beautiful
*+Beautiful passages . . . *
:bible1: 1 But the souls of the just are in the hand of
God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. 2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: 3 And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. 4 And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. 5 Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because **God **hath tried them, and found them worthy of
himself. 6 As gold in the furnace
he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust
he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. 7 The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. 8 They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their **Lord **shall reign for ever.
- Wisdom 3:1-8
:bible1: 4 For we are buried together with
him by baptism into death; that as **Christ **is risen from the dead by the
glory of the
Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall be also in the likeness of
his resurrection. 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with
him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer. 7 For he that is dead is justified from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with
Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with
Christ: 9 Knowing that
Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over
him. 10 For in that
he died to sin,
he died once; but in that
he liveth,
he liveth unto
God: 11 So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto
God, in **Christ Jesus **our
Lord.
- Romans 6:4-11
:bible1: 1 A psalm on Solomon. 2 Give to the king
thy judgment, O
God: and to the king’s son
thy justice: To judge
thy people with justice, and
thy poor with judgment. 3 Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice. 4
He shall judge the poor of the people, and
he shall save the children of the poor: and
he shall humble the oppressor. 5 And** he **shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations. 6 **He **shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth. … 15 And
he shall live, and to
him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for **him **they shall always adore: they shall bless
him all the day. 16 And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth. 17 Let
his name be blessed for evermore:
his name continueth before the sun. And in
him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify
him.
- Psalm 71:1-6,15-17
:bible1: 4 Charity
is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; 5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity
never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. 12 We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known. 13 And now there remain faith, hope, and charity:, these three: but the greatest of these is charity
