Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing, beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

The sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

Pilate marveled that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead.

Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days."

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are people baptized for them?
