But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.” Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?
