Monday's Living Water

Scripture

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
1 Corinthians 15: 1-4



Ahora os hago saber, hermanos, el evangelio que os prediqué, el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también estáis firmes,
por el cual también sois salvos, si retenéis la palabra que os prediqué, a no ser que hayáis creído en vano.
Porque yo os entregué en primer lugar lo mismo que recibí: que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados, conforme a las Escrituras;
que fue sepultado y que resucitó al tercer día, conforme a las Escrituras;
1 Corintios 15: 1-4

Saturday's Living Water

Scripture

…Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
Ephesians 5: 25- 26



así como Cristo amó a la iglesia y se dio a mismo por ella,
para santificarla, habiéndola purificado por el lavamiento del agua con la palabra,
a fin de presentársela a mismo, una iglesia en toda su gloria, sin que tenga mancha ni arruga ni cosa semejante, sino que fuera santa e inmaculada.
