1 Corinthians 15:35-58 - Questions Concerning The Resurrection Body
35 But one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest, is not quickened unless it may die; 37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but naked grain, if it may happen to be of wheat, or of some one of the other grains; 38 but God gives it a body as he wished; and to each of the seeds its own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is indeed a flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. 40 Indeed there are heavenly bodies, and there are earthly bodies: but indeed there is one glory of the heavenlies, and another glory of those upon the earth. 41 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: 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a psychical body; it is raised a pneumatical body. If there is a psychical body, there is also a pneumatical (body). 45 As indeed it has been written; The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last man Adam, a life-creating spirit. 46 But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man was from the earth, earthy: the second man from heaven. 48 As was the earthy, such are they also who are earthy; and as was the heavenly, such are they also who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we must also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 But I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I speak to you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 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. 53 For it behooves this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality. 54 But when this corruptible may put on incorruption, and this mortal may put on immorality, then shall the word which has been written be fulfilled, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? 56 But the sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be unto God, who gives us our victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
