'Raised' in the Bible
And God has not only raised the Lord [to life], but will also raise us up by His power.
Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
We are even discovered to be false witnesses [misrepresenting] God, because we testified concerning Him that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised, either;
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless and powerless [mere delusion]; you are still in your sins [and under the control and penalty of sin].
But now [as things really are] Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, [and He became] the first fruits [that is, the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible, immortal body, foreshadowing the resurrection] of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
Otherwise, what will those do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people even baptized for them?
What good has it done me if, [merely] from a human point of view, I fought with wild animals at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised [at all], let us eat and drink [enjoying ourselves now], for tomorrow we die.
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body will they come?”
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength;
it is sown a natural body [mortal, suited to earth], it is raised a spiritual body [immortal, suited to heaven]. As surely as there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at [the sound of] the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [who believed in Christ] will be raised imperishable, and we will be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed].
