If the foot say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body? And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But as it is, God set the members every one of them in the body, as it pleased him. And if they were all one member, where would be the body? But now there are, indeed, many members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, still more, those members of the body which seem to be weak, are necessary; and what we think to be less honorable parts of the body, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our unseemly parts have more abundant seemliness; while our seemly parts have no need. But God so put the body together, as to give special honor to that part which lacked, that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. And so if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God appointed some in the church to be, in the first place, apostles, in the second place, prophets, in the third place, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, those of helping and of governing, divers kinds of tongues.

And furthermore I show you by far the most excellent way.

And he is the head of the body, the church; since he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he may be in all things preeminent; for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.

In like manner also the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant, in my blood; this do, as oft as ye drink, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye show forth the Lords death, till he come.

Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes. There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth 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, it is raised in power; it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a lifegiving spirit. But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly; and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness. read more.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive. But every one in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his coming. Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power. For he must reign, "till he hath put all enemies under his feet." The last enemy, death, will be destroyed; for "he put all things under his feet." But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted. And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them? Why also do we stand in peril every hour? I protest, brethren, by my glorying in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily. If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Be not deceived; "evil communications corrupt good manners." Awake, as is your duty, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I say it to your shame. But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come? Fool! that which thou sowest is not brought to life unless it die; and what thou sowest, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but a bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or of some of the other grains; but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes. There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth 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, it is raised in power; it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a lifegiving spirit. But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly; and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell 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 trump. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;
