You will make known to me [the] path of life. In your presence [is] fullness of joy. At your right hand [are] pleasures forever.

They bequeath their excess to their children. [By contrast,] I in righteousness shall see your face. Upon awakening I will be satisfied [seeing] your form.

The look on their faces testifies against them and they declare their sin like Sodom; they do not hide [it]. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out evil to themselves.

For David says with reference to him, 'I saw the Lord before me {continually}, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken. For this [reason] my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope, read more. because you will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will you permit your Holy One to experience decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with gladness with your presence.' "Men [and] brothers, it is possible to speak with confidence to you about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us until this day. Therefore, [because he] was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat {one of his descendants} on his throne, [by] having foreseen [this], he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he abandoned in Hades nor did his flesh experience decay.

And now I stand here on trial on the basis of hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, to which our twelve tribes hope to attain as [they] earnestly serve [him] night and day. Concerning this hope I am being accused by the Jews, O king! read more. Why is it thought incredible by you [people] that God raises the dead?

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,

By faith Abraham, [when he] was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise. read more. For he was expecting the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder [is] God. By faith also, {with Sarah}, he received {the ability to procreate} even {past the normal age}, because he regarded the one who had promised [to be] faithful. And therefore these were fathered from one man, and [he] being as good as dead, as the stars of heaven in number and like the innumerable sand by the shore of the sea. These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming [them], and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth. For those who say such [things] make clear that they are seeking a homeland. And if they remember that [land] from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they aspire to a better [land], that is, a heavenly [one]. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

But I myself know [that] my redeemer [is] alive, and [at the] last he will stand up upon {the earth}.

[The] dead do not live; dead spirits do not rise because you have punished and destroyed them, and you have destroyed all memory of them.

The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me by the Spirit of Yahweh, and he {let me rest} in the midst of the valley, and it [was] full of bones. And he led me {all around} over them, and look, very many on the surface of the valley, and look, very dry. read more. And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I said, "Lord Yahweh, you know." And he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and you must say to them, [to] the dry bones, 'Hear the word of Yahweh! Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: "Look! I [am] bringing into you breath, and you will live! And I will lay on you sinews, and I will let flesh come upon you, and I will cover you over [with] skin, and I will put breath into you, and you will live, and you will know that I [am] Yahweh." '" And I prophesied {just as} I had been commanded, and [there] was a sound at my prophesying, and look! A rattling, and they came together--[the] bones! Bone to its bone! And I looked, and indeed, sinews [were] on them, and flesh went up, and skin covered over them {upward}, but breath [was] not in them. And he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and you must say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh {from the four winds}, "Come, O spirit and breath, on these dead ones, so that they may live!" '" And I prophesied {as} he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they became alive, and they stood on their feet, a very, very large group. And he said to me, "Son of man, these bones [are] all of the house of Israel; look! [they are] saying, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is destroyed; {we are cut off as far as we are concerned}.' Therefore prophesy, and you must say to them, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "Look! I [am] opening your graves, and I will bring you up from your graves, my people, and I will bring you to the land of Israel!

He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live in his presence.

Should I redeem them from {the power} of Sheol? Should I deliver them from death? Where [are] your plagues, Death? Where [is] your destruction, Sheol? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.

But I say to you that many will come from east and west and {be seated at the banquet} with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but instead be afraid of the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

On that day Sadducees--who say there is no resurrection--came up to him and asked him, saying, "Teacher, Moses said if someone dies without having children, his brother is to marry his wife and {father} descendants for his brother. read more. Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first died [after] getting married, and [because he] did not have descendants, he left his wife to his brother. So also the second and the third, up to the seventh. And last of all the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her [as wife]." But Jesus answered [and] said to them, "You are mistaken, [because] you do not know the scriptures or the power of God! For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said, read more. "I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob"? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!"

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from [one] end of heaven to the [other] end of it.

And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and] rolled away the stone and sat down on it.

And [when they] saw him, they worshiped [him], but some doubted.

And Sadducees--who say there is no resurrection--came up to him and began to ask him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone's brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother. read more. There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And [when he] died, he did not leave descendants. And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise. And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died. In the resurrection, when they rise, {whose} wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife. Jesus said to them, "Are you not deceived because of this, [because you] do not know the scriptures or the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses {in the passage about the bush} how God spoke to him, saying, 'I [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'? read more. He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!" And one of the scribes came up [and] heard them debating. [When he] saw that he answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

And then he will send out the angels, and will gather the elect together from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.

And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

and you will be blessed, because they are not able to repay you. For it will be paid back to you at the resurrection of the righteous."

and you will be blessed, because they are not able to repay you. For it will be paid back to you at the resurrection of the righteous."

Now some of the Sadducees--who deny {that there is a resurrection}--came up [and] asked him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone's brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother. read more. Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife [and] died childless, and the second, and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died. Finally the woman also died. Therefore in the resurrection, the woman--whose wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife." And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and [to] the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and [to] the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.

for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.

for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in [the passage about] the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob. read more. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!"

Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!" And some of the scribes answered [and] said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

And some of the scribes answered [and] said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

And it happened that while they were conversing, and discussing, Jesus himself also approached [and] began to go along with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

saying, "The Lord has really been raised, and has appeared to Simon!"

And [while] they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Do you have anything {to eat} here?"

In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains on him.

For just as the Father raises the dead and makes [them] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.

For just as the Father raises the dead and makes [them] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.

For just as the Father raises the dead and makes [them] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

"Do not be astonished [at] this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die {forever}. Do you believe this?"

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

[When she] had said these [things], she turned {around} and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.

Now [when it] was evening on that day--the first [day] of the week--and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace to you." And [when he] had said this, he showed [his] hands and [his] side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced [when they] saw the Lord.

So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!"

Then he said to Thomas, "Place your finger here and see my hands, and place your hand and put [it] into my side. And do not be unbelieving, but believing!"

Now [when it] was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

So [when] they had come together, they began asking him, saying, "Lord, [is it] at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

beginning from the baptism of John until the day [on] which he was taken up from us--one of these [men] must become a witness of his resurrection together with us."

God raised {him} up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible [for] him to be held by it.

This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this that you see and hear.

And you killed the originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses!

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by him this man stands before you healthy!

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by him this man stands before you healthy!

And with great power the apostles were giving testimony [to] the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

"Go and stand in the temple [courts] [and] proclaim to the people all the words of this life."

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed [by] hanging [him] on a tree. This one God has exalted to his right hand [as] Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. read more. And we are witnesses of these things, and [so is] the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."

God raised this one up on the third day and granted [that] he should become visible, not to all the people but to us who had been chosen beforehand by God [as] witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

And we proclaim the good news to you: that the promise that was made to the fathers,

for in him we live and move and exist, as even some of {your own} poets have said: 'For we also are {his} offspring.'

Now [when they] heard about the resurrection of the dead, [some] scoffed, but [others] said, "We will hear you about this again also."

After these [things] he departed from Athens [and] went to Corinth.

Now [when] Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, "Men [and] brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!"

having a hope in God which these [men] also themselves await: [that] there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

And now I stand here on trial on the basis of hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, to which our twelve tribes hope to attain as [they] earnestly serve [him] night and day. Concerning this hope I am being accused by the Jews, O king! read more. Why is it thought incredible by you [people] that God raises the dead?

who was declared Son of God in power according to {the Holy Spirit} by the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord,

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

For if those of the law [are] heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified.

Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

For if we have become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, certainly also we will be [identified with him in the likeness] of [his] resurrection,

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected [it], in hope

For I passed on to you {as of first importance} what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised [either].

If {we have put our hope} in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?" Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. read more. And what you sow [is] not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest. But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body. Not all flesh [is] the same, but [there is] one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish, and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly [bodies] [is] of one kind, and the [glory] of the earthly [bodies] [is] of another kind. [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. Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If [there] is a natural body, [there] is also a spiritual [body].

for as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

Consequently, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God,

Because of this also we, from the day we heard about [it], did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled [with] the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,

Therefore, if you have been raised together with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

and have put on the new [man] that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created him,

and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

who will pay the penalty [of] eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

who have deviated concerning the truth [by] saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they are upsetting the faith of some.

Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who through him [are] believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

And also, corresponding to [this], baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.) This [is] the first resurrection.

And I saw the dead--the great and the small--standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the [book] of life, and the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.

But I myself know [that] my redeemer [is] alive, and [at the] last he will stand up upon {the earth}. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, but from my flesh I will see God, read more. whom {I will see for myself}, and [whom] my eyes will see and not a stranger. {My heart faints within me}.

The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Hear, heavens, and listen, earth, for Yahweh has spoken: "I reared children and I brought [them] up, but they rebelled against me. read more. An ox knows its owner and a donkey the manger of its master. Israel does not know; my people do not understand. Ah, sinful nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh; they have despised the holy one of Israel. They are estranged [and gone] backward.

Your dead shall live; {their corpses} shall rise. Wake up and sing for joy, dwellers of [the] dust, for your dew [is] {celestial dew}, and the earth will give birth to dead spirits.

The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me by the Spirit of Yahweh, and he {let me rest} in the midst of the valley, and it [was] full of bones. And he led me {all around} over them, and look, very many on the surface of the valley, and look, very dry. read more. And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
