- Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
- Why are we also in danger every hour?
- I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
- If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.
- Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
|
- Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
- And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
- I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
- If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
- Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
|
- Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God I speak this to your shame.
- But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"
- You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;
- and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
- But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
|
- Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
- But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
- Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
- And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
- But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
|
- All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.
- There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
- There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
- So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;
- it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
|
- All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
- There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
- There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
- So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
- It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
|
- it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
- So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL " The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
- However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
- The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
- As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
|
- It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
- And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
- Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
- The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
- As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
|
- Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
- Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
- Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
- For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
|
- And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
- Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
- Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
- In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
- For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
|
- But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
- "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"
- The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;
- but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
|
- So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
- O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
- The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
- But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
