"Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?

But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth-- they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

"I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;

Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.

For David says in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken. For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope. read more. For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.' "As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us. Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne, with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay.

And now I stand here impeached because of my hope in the fulfilment of the promise made by God to our forefathers-- the promise which our twelve tribes, worshipping day and night with intense devotedness, hope to have made good to them. It is on the subject of this hope, Sir, that I am accused by the Jews. read more. Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life?

But this will happen to each in the right order--Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return.

But this will happen to each in the right order--Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return.

an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body. In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.

always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.

And may God Himself who gives peace, make you entirely holy; and may your spirits, souls and bodies be preserved complete and be found blameless at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind, training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time,

Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to. Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise; read more. for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother--although she was past the time of life for this--because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise. And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted. All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth; for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own. And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return; but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.

Then the sea yielded up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades yielded up the dead who were in them, and each man was judged in accordance with what his conduct had been.

Let the dishonest man act dishonestly still; let the filthy make himself filthy still; let the righteous practise righteousness still; and let the holy be made holy still." "I am coming quickly; and My reward is with Me, that I may requite every man in accordance with what his conduct has been.

If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna.

And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,

"And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him. "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined, 'If a man die childless, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.' read more. Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother. So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh, till the woman also died, after surviving them all. At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her." The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God. For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.

For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven. But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you, read more. I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."

Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,

And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet-blast, and they will bring together His own People to Him from north, south, east and west--from one extremity of the world to the other.

But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven, and had come and rolled back the stone, and was sitting upon it.

There they saw Him and prostrated themselves before Him. Yet some doubted.

Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him. "Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.' read more. There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family. The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same. And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died. At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her." "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God? For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven. But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' read more. He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error." Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"

Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.

They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.

and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous."

and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous."

Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection) "Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother. read more. Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless. The second and the third also took her; and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died. Finally the woman also died. The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her." "The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage.

But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection. But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' read more. He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."

He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living." Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."

Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."

and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them, though they were prevented from recognizing Him.

"Yes, it is true: the Master has come back to life. He has been seen by Simon."

But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"

In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.

"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day.

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

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

and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?"

He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages.

While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but did not recognize Him.

On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you!" Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master.

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready to disbelieve but to believe."

When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"

beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."

But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.

This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify. "Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.

The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom *you* crucified, but whom *God* has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom *you* crucified, but whom *God* has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.

while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.

"Go and stand in the Temple, and go on proclaiming to the people all this Message of Life."

The God of our forefathers has raised Jesus to life, whom you crucified and put to death. God has exalted Him to His right hand as Chief Leader and as Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins. read more. And we--and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him--are witnesses as to these things."

That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day, and permitted Him to appear unmistakably, not to all the people, but to witnesses--men previously chosen by God--namely, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

And we bring you the Good News about the promise made to our forefathers,

For it is in closest union with Him that we live and move and have our being; as in fact some of the poets in repute among yourselves have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'

When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."

After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.

Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."

and having a hope directed towards God, which my accusers themselves also entertain, that before long there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

And now I stand here impeached because of my hope in the fulfilment of the promise made by God to our forefathers-- the promise which our twelve tribes, worshipping day and night with intense devotedness, hope to have made good to them. It is on the subject of this hope, Sir, that I am accused by the Jews. read more. Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life?

but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.

For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it)

For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures;

For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen;

If in this present life we have a *hope* resting on Christ, and nothing more, we are more to be pitied than all the rest of the world.

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

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

But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?" Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies; read more. and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) and to each kind of seed a body of its own. All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes. There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another. There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in a state of decay, it is raised free from decay;

an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body.

for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,

For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.

You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;

I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died; in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.

in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.

Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted to earthly things. We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, read more. who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead.

having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead.

If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.

and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.

and to await the return from Heaven of His Son, whom He raised from among the dead--even Jesus, our Deliverer from God's coming anger.

For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a loud word of command, and with an archangel's voice and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,

In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.

Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.

And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you--not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

No one else who was dead rose to Life until the thousand years were at an end. This is the First Resurrection.

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing in front of the throne. And books were opened; and so was another book--namely, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged by the things recorded in the books in accordance with what their conduct had been.

For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven. But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' read more. He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."

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

And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?

But this will happen to each in the right order--Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return. Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power.

in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.

For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a loud word of command, and with an archangel's voice and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.

No one else who was dead rose to Life until the thousand years were at an end. This is the First Resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they shall be priests to God and to Christ, and shall be kings with Christ for the thousand years.

On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.

Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.

"Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth-- they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

"Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus. "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."

Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."

For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

But--to use the words of Scripture--we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.

But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?"

I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died; in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.

who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them--that they might secure a better resurrection.
