If the foot says, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? and if the ear says, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole was a hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body, as he pleased. But if all were one member, where would be the body? But now there are many members, but one body.

But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. And thus it is written; The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor shall destruction inherit indestructibleness.

For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy, death, shall be destroyed, for he put all things under his feet. But when he says that all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted who puts all things under him; and when all things have been put under him, then will the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Else what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? and why are they baptized for them? Why also do we encounter danger every hour?

If the dead rise not, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals. Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame. But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies; and what you sow, you sow not the body which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the other grains; but God gives it a body as he pleases, and to each of the grains its own body.

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 trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead be raised, indestructible, and we shall be changed.
