Job 19:25-26; 1 Corinthians 15:20

²⁵ For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

²⁶ And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
