Body » What type of bodies there are
But someone will say: How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies. That which you sow, you sow not that body that will develop, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: read more.
But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial (heavenly) bodies and terrestrial (earthly) bodies. The glory of the celestial is one thing and the glory 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 one star differs from another 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 and it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body and it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. Thus it is written: The first man Adam was made a living being. The last Adam became a life giving spirit! How is it the first is not spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy: the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy so are those who are of the earth. And as is the heavenly, so are those who are of heaven. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Corruption may not inherit incorruption.

Body » Resurrection of
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (pitiable). Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who slept [in death]. Death came because of what one man did. The resurrection of the dead also comes because of what one man did. read more.
In Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Everyone will be raised to life in the right order: Christ the first fruits and afterward those who belong to Christ at the time of his coming. In the end Christ will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. Christ will destroy every ruler and all authority and all power. For he (Christ) must rule as king until he (God) puts all enemies under his feet (his control). (Psalm 2; 110) (Daniel 2:44) (Revelation 5:10; 20:6) The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. (Revelation 20:14) According to the Scriptures: God has placed all things under his control (subjection). (Ephesians 1:22) But when he said all things are placed under him, it is with the exception of [God]. For [God] is the one who placed all things under him (Christ). (1 Peter 3:22) (John 3:35) When all things shall be subdued under the Son, then the Son will also be subjected to God who put all things under him, that God may be all in all (ruler over everything). What will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead? Why do we stand in jeopardy (in danger) every hour? I face death daily even as I rejoice over you in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage was it to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die. Do not be deceived: Bad company corrupts good morals. Wake up to righteousness and do not sin. Some do not have knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. But someone will say: How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies.

Corruption may not inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a secret. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last reverberation of the trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. When this corruptible shall be clothed with (Greek: enduo: dressed, put on) incorruption, and this mortal shall be clothed with immortality, then the saying will come true: Death is swallowed up in victory.

Do not be deceived. God is not mocked! A man will harvest what he sows.
By their fruits you will know them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? Every good tree gives righteous fruit. The bad tree gives evil fruit. A good tree does not give bad fruit. A bad tree does not give good fruit.
A good tree does not produce corrupt fruit and a corrupt tree does not produce good fruit. The identity of a tree is made clear by the fruit it produces. Men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble.

death » Why the body dies
If Christ is with you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness. If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from among the dead dwells with you, he who raised Christ from among the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive. This is on account of his Spirit that dwells with you.
But someone will say: How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies. That which you sow, you sow not that body that will develop, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: read more.

Truly I tell you unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies it bears much fruit.
I am alive! I was dead and, behold, I am alive forever, Amen. I have the keys of death and the grave.
I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh (physical body) I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.

We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life.
He who would save his life shall lose it. He who would lose his life for my sake shall save it.
You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies.
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death works in us, but life in you.
For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, will be made known, then you will also be made known with him in glory.
The Resurrection » Illustrated
The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of Jehovah and set me down in the middle of the valley. The valley was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them round about. There were very many on the surface of the valley and they were very dry. He said to me: Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, O Lord Jehovah, you know. read more.
Again he said: Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive. You will know that I am Jehovah.' So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling. The bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. But there was no breath in them. Then Jehovah said to me: Prophesy to the wind (ruach: air, breath, spirit, life)! Prophesy, son of man. Tell the wind, this is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'Come from the four winds, O Breath, and breathe on these people who were killed so that they will live.' So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath of life entered them. Then they came to life and stood on their feet. There were enough of them to form a very large army.

But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial (heavenly) bodies and terrestrial (earthly) bodies. The glory of the celestial is one thing and the glory 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 one star differs from another 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 and it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body and it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. Thus it is written: The first man Adam was made a living being.
