If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now there are many members, but one body. The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you. But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble. And those members of the body, which, we think, are less honorable, around these we place the more abundant honor; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness: for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient, that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another; and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members. And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of mighty deeds? Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But seek earnestly the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.

In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come.

Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that 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 star differs from 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 dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive: but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming. Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power: for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all. For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead? And why are we in danger every hour? I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that 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 star differs from 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 dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I declare to 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 trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality. And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
