But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: read more.
but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another. 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. So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.


If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept. For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. read more.
For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive: but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming. Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power: for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all. For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead? And why are we in danger every hour? I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.

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. So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality. And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.



By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So every good tree produces goodly fruit: but an unsound tree produces diseased fruit. A good tree can not produce diseased fruit; nor can an unsound tree produce goodly fruit.

Therefore, by their fruits you shall know them.

For a good tree does not produce unsound fruit; nor does an unsound tree produce good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes gathered from brambles.

Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.


But if Christ is in you, the body is dead, on account of sin, but the Spirit is life, on ac count of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised the Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwells in you.

But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: read more.

For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.


For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So, then, death is active in us, but life in you.

for you are dead, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. When the Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.
