*
But someone will say , "
How are the dead raised ?
And with what sort of body do they come ?"
*
Fool ,
what you sow is not made alive unless it dies .
*
And what you sow ,
you do not sow that body that will be ,
but a bare grain-perhaps wheat or some other [
grains ].
*
But God gives to it a body just as He desired ,
and to each of the seeds its own body .
*
All flesh is not the same flesh ,
but there is a different [
kind ] [
of flesh ]
for men ,
and another flesh for beasts ,
another for fish ,
and another for birds .
*
And there [
are ]
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 differs from [
another ]
star in glory .
*
So also is the resurrection of the dead .
The body 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 a natural body ,
it is raised a spiritual body .
There is a natural body ,
and there is a spiritual body .
*
Thus also it is written , "
The first man Adam [
became ]
a living being ;"
the last Adam [
became ]
a life-giving spirit .
*
However ,
that which is spiritual is not first ,
but that which is natural ,
then that which is spiritual .
*
The first man [
was ]
from earth ,
made of dust ;
the second Man is the Lord from heaven .
*
Like the [
man ]
made of dust ,
so also [
are ]
those who are made of dust ;
and as is the heavenly [
Man ],
so also [
are ]
those [
who are ]
heavenly .
*
And just as we have borne the image of the [
man ]
made of dust ,
let us also bear the image of the heavenly [
Man ].
*
Now this I say ,
brothers ,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ;
nor can 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 trumpet .
For the trumpet shall sound ,
and the dead shall 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 should put on incorruption ,
and this mortal should put on immortality ,
then will come to pass the word which was written : "
Death was swallowed up in victory ."
* "
O Death ,
where is your sting ?
O Hades ,
where is your victory ?"
*
Now the sting of death is sin ,
and the power of sin is the law .
*
But thanks be to God ,
who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ .
