* But some man will say : How do the dead rise again ? or with what manner of body shall they come ? * Senseless man , that which thou sowest is not quickened , except it die first . * And that which thou sowest , thou sowest not the body that shall be ; but bare grain , as of wheat , or of some of the rest . * But God giveth it a body as he will : and to every seed its proper body . * All flesh is not the same flesh : but one is the flesh of men , another of beasts , another of birds , another of fishes . * And there are bodies celestial , and bodies terrestrial : but , one is the glory of the celestial , and another of the terrestrial . * One is the glory of the sun , another the glory of the moon , and another the glory of the stars . For star differeth from star in glory . * So also is the resurrection of the dead . It is sown in corruption , it shall rise in incorruption . * It is sown in dishonour , it shall rise in glory . It is sown in weakness , it shall rise in power . * It is sown a natural body , it shall rise a spiritual body . If there be a natural body , there is also a spiritual body , as it is written : * The first man Adam was made into a living soul ; the last Adam into a quickening spirit . * Yet that was not first which is spiritual , but that which is natural ; afterwards that which is spiritual . * The first man was of the earth , earthly : the second man , from heaven , heavenly . * Such as is the earthly , such also are the earthly : and such as is the heavenly , such also are they that are heavenly . * Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly , let us bear also the image of the heavenly . * Now this I say , brethren , that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God : neither shall corruption possess incorruption . * Behold , I tell you a mystery . We shall all indeed rise again : but we shall not 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 rise again incorruptible : and we shall be changed . * For this corruptible must put on incorruption ; and this mortal must put on immortality . * And when this mortal hath put on immortality , then shall come to pass the saying that is written : Death is swallowed up in victory . * O death , where is thy victory ? O death , where is thy sting ? * Now the sting of death is sin : and the power of sin is the law . * But thanks be to God , who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ . * Therefore , my beloved brethren , be ye steadfast and unmoveable ; always abounding in the work of the Lord , knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord .
