Thirteen slips on seven sheets, two to a page, Letter or A4. Print at 100%, then cut along the dashes. A sheet of two cover slips, with the five steps, prints first.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”

Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.
Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
