but those who are considered worthy to attain yonder world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are married, for they cannot die any more; they are equal to angels and by sharing in the resurrection they are sons of God.

Do not wonder at this; for there is a time coming when all who are in the tombs will listen to his voice and come out, the doers of good to be raised to life, ill-doers to be raised for the sentence of judgment.

Jesus said to her, "I am myself resurrection and life: he who believes in me will live, even if he dies,

A little while longer and the world will see me no more; but you will see me, because I am living and you will be living too.

For David says of him, I saw the Lord before me evermore; lest I be shaken, he is at my right hand. My heart is glad, my tongue exults, my very flesh will rest in hope, read more. because thou wilt not forsake my soul in the grave, nor let thy holy one suffer decay. Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, thou wilt fill me with delight in thy presence. Brothers, I can speak quite plainly to you about the patriarch David; he died and was buried and his tomb remains with us to this day. (He was a prophet; he knew God had sworn an oath to him that he would seat one of his descendants on his throne; so he spoke with a prevision of the resurrection of the Christ, when he said that he was not forsaken in the grave nor did his flesh suffer decay.

To-day I am standing my trial for hoping in the promise made by God to our fathers, a promise which our twelve tribes hope to gain by serving God earnestly both night and day. And I am actually impeached by Jews for this hope, O king! read more. [Move to the beginning of vs 23] Why should you consider it incredible that God raises the dead,

But each in his own division: ??Christ the first to be reaped; after that, all who belong to Christ, at his arrival.

sown an animate body, it rises a spiritual body. As there is an animate body, so there is a spiritual body. Thus it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became an animate being, the last Adam a life-giving Spirit';

who will transform the body that belongs to our low estate till it resembles the body of his Glory, by the same power that enables him to make everything subject to himself.

When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you will appear with him in glory.

May the God of peace consecrate you through and through! Spirit, soul, and body, may you be kept without break or blame till the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ!

For the grace of God has appeared to save all men, and it schools us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions and to live a life of self-mastery, of integrity, and of piety in this present world,

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed his call to go forth to a place which he would receive as an inheritance; he went forth, although he did not know where he was to go. It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land, as in a foreign country, residing in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob who were co-heirs with him of the same promise; read more. he was waiting for the City with its fixed foundations, whose builder and maker is God. It was by faith that even Sara got strength to conceive, bearing a son when she was past the age for it ??because she considered she could rely on Him who gave the promise. Thus a single man, though he was physically impotent, had issue in number like the stars in heaven, countless as the sand on the seashore. (These all died in faith without obtaining the promises; they only saw them far away and hailed them, owning they were 'strangers and exiles upon earth.' Now people who speak in this way plainly show they are in search of a fatherland. If they thought of the land they have left behind, they would have time to go back, but they really aspire to the better land in heaven. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God; he has prepared a City for them.)

The sea gave up its corpses, Death and Hades gave up their dead, and all were judged by what each had done.

Let the wicked still be wicked, let the filthy still be filthy, let the righteous still do right, let the holy still be holy! [Relocated to follow vss

If your right eye is a hindrance to you, pluck it out and throw it away: better for you to lose one of your members than to have all your body thrown into Gehenna.

Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Realm of heaven,

Have no fear of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul: rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

That same day some Sadducees came up to him, men who hold there is no resurrection. They put this question to him: "Teacher, Moses said that if anyone dies without children, his brother is to espouse his wife and raise offspring for his brother. read more. Now there were seven brothers in our number. The first married and died; as he had no children he left his wife to his brother. The same happened with the second and the third, down to the seventh. After them all, the woman died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will she be? They all had her." Jesus answered them, "You go wrong because you understand neither the scriptures nor the power of God. At the resurrection people neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels of God in heaven.

At the resurrection people neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels of God in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, read more. I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not a God of dead people but of living."

When the Pharisees heard he had silenced the Sadducees, they mustered their forces,

He will despatch his angels with a loud trumpet call to muster his elect from the four winds, from the verge of heaven to the verge of earth.

But a great earthquake took place; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and went and rolled away the boulder and sat on it.

When they saw him they worshipped him, though some were in doubt.

Sadducees, men who hold there is no resurrection, also came up and put a question to him. "Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother. read more. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a wife and died leaving no offspring: the second took her and died without leaving any offspring: so did the third: none of the seven left any offspring. Last of all the woman died too. At the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? She was wife to the seven of them." Jesus said to them, "Is this not where you go wrong? ??you understand neither the scriptures nor the power of God. When people rise from the dead they neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels in heaven.

When people rise from the dead they neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels in heaven.

When people rise from the dead they neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels in heaven. As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, at the passage on the Bush, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? read more. He is not the God of dead people but of living. You are far wrong." Then a scribe came up, who had listened to the discussion. Knowing Jesus had given them an apt answer, he put this question to him, "What is the chief of all the commands?"

Then he will despatch his angels and muster the elect from the four winds, from the verge of earth to the verge of heaven.

Yes, and people will come from east and west and north and south to their places at the feast within the Realm of God.

Then you will be blessed; for as they have no means of repaying you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Then you will be blessed; for as they have no means of repaying you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Some of the Sadducees came up, who deny any resurrection, and put a question to him. "Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's married brother dies and is childless, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother. read more. Well, there were seven brothers. The first married a wife and died childless. The second and the third took her, as indeed all the seven did, dying and leaving no children. Afterwards the woman died too. Now at the resurrection whose wife will she be? She was wife to the seven of them." Jesus said to them, "People in this world marry and are married, but those who are considered worthy to attain yonder world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are married,

but those who are considered worthy to attain yonder world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are married, for they cannot die any more; they are equal to angels and by sharing in the resurrection they are sons of God.

for they cannot die any more; they are equal to angels and by sharing in the resurrection they are sons of God.

for they cannot die any more; they are equal to angels and by sharing in the resurrection they are sons of God. And that the dead are raised has been indicated by Moses in the passage on the Bush, when he calls the Lord 'God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.' read more. God is not a God of dead people but of living, for all live to him."

God is not a God of dead people but of living, for all live to him." Some of the scribes declared, "Teacher, that was a fine answer!"

and during their conversation and discussion Jesus himself approached and walked beside them, though they were prevented from recognizing him.

who told them that the Lord had really risen and that he had appeared to Simon.

Even yet they could not believe it for sheer joy; they were lost in wonder. So he said to them, "Have you any food here?"

In him life lay, and this life was the Light for men:

He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life ??God's anger broods over him."

for as the Father raises the dead and makes them live, so the Son makes anyone live whom he chooses.

for as the Father raises the dead and makes them live, so the Son makes anyone live whom he chooses.

for as the Father raises the dead and makes them live, so the Son makes anyone live whom he chooses.

for as the Father has life in himself, so too he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

Do not wonder at this; for there is a time coming when all who are in the tombs will listen to his voice

It is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should possess eternal life, and that I should raise him up on the last day."

It is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should possess eternal life, and that I should raise him up on the last day."

No one is able to come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me (and I will raise him up on the last day).

No one is able to come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me (and I will raise him up on the last day).

He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life (and I will raise him up on the last day),

"I know," said Martha, "he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day."

"I know," said Martha, "he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day."

and no one who lives and believes in me will ever die. You believe that?"

He who rejects me and will not receive my words has indeed a judge: the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day,

since thou hast granted him power over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given to him.

With these words she turned round and noticed Jesus standing ??though she did not know it was Jesus.

On the evening of that same day ??the first day of the week ??though the disciples had gathered within closed doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus entered and stood among them, saying, "Peace be with you!" So saying he showed them his hands and his side; and when the disciples saw the Lord, they rejoiced.

and when the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord," he said, "Unless I see his hands with the mark of the nails, and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe it."

Then he said to Thomas, "Look at my hands, put your finger here; and put your hand here into my side; cease your unbelief and believe."

Now at break of day Jesus was standing on the beach (though the disciples did not know it was Jesus).

Now when they met, they asked him, "Lord, is this the time you are going to restore the Realm to Israel?"

from the baptism of John down to the day when he was taken up from us ??of these men one must join us as a witness to his resurrection."

but God raised him by checking the pangs of death. Death could not hold him.

This Jesus God raised, as we can all bear witness. Uplifted then by God's right hand, and receiving from the Father the long-promised holy Spirit, he has poured on us what you now see and hear.)

and you killed the pioneer of Life. But God raised him from the dead, as we can bear witness.

you and the people of Israel must all understand that he stands before you strong and well, thanks to the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.

you and the people of Israel must all understand that he stands before you strong and well, thanks to the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.

the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power, and great grace was upon them all.

"Go and stand in the temple, telling the people all about this Life."

The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you murdered by hanging him on a gibbet. God lifted him up to his right hand as our pioneer and saviour, in order to grant repentance and remission of sins to Israel. read more. To these facts we bear witness, with the holy Spirit which God has given to those who obey him."

but God raised him on the third day, and allowed him to be seen not by all the People but by witnesses whom God had previously selected, by us who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead,

So we now preach to you the glad news that the promise made to the fathers

for it is in him that we live and move and exist ??as some of your own poets have said, 'We too belong to His race.'

But on hearing of a 'resurrection of dead men,' some sneered, while others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."

After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

Then, finding half the Sanhedrin were Sadducees and the other half Pharisees, Paul shouted to them, "I am a Pharisee, brothers, the son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection from the dead that I am on trial!"

and I cherish the same hope in God as they accept, namely that there is to be a resurrection of the just and the unjust.

To-day I am standing my trial for hoping in the promise made by God to our fathers, a promise which our twelve tribes hope to gain by serving God earnestly both night and day. And I am actually impeached by Jews for this hope, O king! read more. [Move to the beginning of vs 23] Why should you consider it incredible that God raises the dead,

and installed as Son of God with power by the Spirit of holiness when he was raised from the dead ??concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

In your stubbornness and impenitence of heart you are simply storing up anger for yourself on the Day of anger, when the just doom of God is revealed.

For if it is adherents of the Law who are heirs, then faith is empty of all meaning and the promise is void.

Surely you know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death!

For if we have grown into him by a death like his, we shall grow into him by a resurrection like his,

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

For creation was not rendered futile by its own choice, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject,

First and foremost, I passed on to you what I had myself received, namely, that Christ died for our sins as the scriptures had said,

For if dead men never rise, Christ did not rise either;

Ah, if in this life we have nothing but a mere hope in Christ, we are of all men to be pitied most!

as all die in Adam, so shall all be made alive in Christ.

as all die in Adam, so shall all be made alive in Christ.

But, someone will ask, 'how do the dead rise? What kind of body have they when they come?' Foolish man! What you sow never comes to life unless it dies. read more. And what you sow is not the body that is to be; it is a mere grain of wheat, for example, or some other seed. God gives it a body as he pleases, gives each kind of seed a body of its own. Flesh is not all the same; there is human flesh, there is flesh of beasts, flesh of birds, and flesh of fish. There are heavenly bodies and also earthly bodies, but the splendour of the heavenly is one thing and the splendour of the earthly is another. There is a splendour of the sun and a splendour of the moon and a splendour of the stars ??for one star differs from another in splendour. So with the resurrection of the dead: what is sown is mortal, what rises is immortal;

sown an animate body, it rises a spiritual body. As there is an animate body, so there is a spiritual body.

(for all of you who had yourselves baptized into Christ have taken on the character of Christ).

which he exerted in raising Christ from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly sphere,

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action.

Thus you are strangers and foreigners no longer, you share the membership of the saints, you belong to God's own household,

I would know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, with my nature transformed to die as he died,

Destruction is their fate, the belly is their god, they glory in their shame, these men of earthly mind! But we are a colony of heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ, read more. who will transform the body that belongs to our low estate till it resembles the body of his Glory, by the same power that enables him to make everything subject to himself.

Hence, from the day we heard of it, we have never ceased to pray for you, asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and insight,

when you were buried with him in your baptism and thereby raised with him as you believed in the power of the God who raised him from the dead.

The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, when the archangel calls and the trumpet of God sounds; the dead in Christ will rise first;

men who will pay the penalty of being destroyed eternally from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

they have failed in the Truth by arguing that the resurrection has taken place already, and they are undermining some people's faith.

Let us pass on then to what is mature, leaving elementary Christian doctrine behind, instead of laying the foundation over again with repentance from dead works, with faith in God,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a life of hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

it is by him that you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; and thus your faith means hope in God.

Baptism, the counterpart of that, saves you to-day (not the mere washing of dirt from the flesh but the prayer for a clean conscience before God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ

As for the rest of the dead, they did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne, and books were opened ??also another book, the book of Life, was opened ??and the dead were judged by what was written in these books, by what they had done.

When people rise from the dead they neither marry nor are married, they are like the angels in heaven. As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, at the passage on the Bush, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? read more. He is not the God of dead people but of living. You are far wrong."

"I know," said Martha, "he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day."

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

Now if we preach that Christ rose from the dead, how can certain individuals among you assert that 'there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead'?

But each in his own division: ??Christ the first to be reaped; after that, all who belong to Christ, at his arrival. Then comes the end, when he hands over his royal power to God the Father, after putting down all other rulers, all other authorities and powers.

The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, when the archangel calls and the trumpet of God sounds; the dead in Christ will rise first;

they have failed in the Truth by arguing that the resurrection has taken place already, and they are undermining some people's faith.

As for the rest of the dead, they did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection; over such the second death has no power, they shall be priests of God and the Christ, and reign along with him during the thousand years.

That same day some Sadducees came up to him, men who hold there is no resurrection. They put this question to him:

Sadducees, men who hold there is no resurrection, also came up and put a question to him.

Then, finding half the Sanhedrin were Sadducees and the other half Pharisees, Paul shouted to them, "I am a Pharisee, brothers, the son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection from the dead that I am on trial!"

For while the Sadducees declare there is no such thing as resurrection, angels, or spirits, the Pharisees affirm them all.

For if we have grown into him by a death like his, we shall grow into him by a resurrection like his,

Some were given back to their womankind, raised from the very dead; others were broken on the wheel, refusing to accept release, that they might obtain a better resurrection;
