'Dead' in the Bible

Let us not commit sexual immorality as some of them did, and in a single day 23,000 people fell dead.

Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say, “There is no resurrection of the dead”?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised;

In addition, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified about God that He raised up Christ—whom He did not raise up if in fact the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.

Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?

If I fought wild animals in Ephesus with only human hope, what good did that do me? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?”

So it is with the resurrection of the dead:Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;

in a moment, in the blink of an eye,at the last trumpet.For the trumpet will sound,and the dead will be raised incorruptible,and we will be changed.
