45:10the daughters of kings have delighted you in your glory. The queen stood on your right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.

11Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear: and forget your people and your father's house.

12And the king shall greatly desire your beauty; for he is the Lord your God, and him they shall adore.

16They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.

15:20But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep$1

21For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.

22And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.

23But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then those who are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.

24Afterwards the end, when he shall have rescued up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.

25For he must reign, until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

26And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he has put all things under his feet. And whereas he says,

27All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.

1:39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.

40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.

41And it happened, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was satisfied with the Holy Ghost:

42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44For look as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.

45And blessed art you that have believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were said to you by the Lord.

46And Mary said: My soul does magnify the Lord.

47And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48Because he has regarded the humility of his servant; for look from now on all generations shall call me blessed.

49Because he that is mighty, has done great things to me; and holy is his name.

50And his mercy is from generation to generations, to them that fear him.

51He has showed might in his arm: he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

52He has put down the mighty from their seat, and has exalted the humble.

53He has satisfied the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.

54He has received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:

55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.

56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
