Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you have really come from God."

But if they are all inspired to preach and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is convinced of his sin by them all, he is called to account by them all,

After that will come the end, when he will turn over the kingdom to God his Father, bringing to an end all other government, authority, and power,

But someone will say, "How can the dead rise? What kind of a body will they have when they come back?"

You foolish man, the very seed you sow never comes to life without dying first;

It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.
