* 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 life –giving 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 ." * "Where , O death , is thy sting ? Where , O death , is thy victory ?" * The sting of death is sin ; and the strength of sin is the Law . * But thanks be to God , who giveth us the victory , through our Lord Jesus Christ .
