1Corinthians:15:35-58
mnt@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask. "How are the dead raised? and with what body are they coming?"
mnt@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish man! The seed you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And when you sow the seed you are not sowing the body that it will become, but bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or some other grain.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh; there is human flesh, another of fishes of animals, another of birds, another of fishes.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are both celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the splendor of the celestial is one thing, and the splendor of the terrestrial is another.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So it is in the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, It is raised in incorruption;
mnt@1Corinthians:15:43 @ Sown in weakness, It is raised in power;
mnt@1Corinthians:15:44 @ The body sown is animal The body is raised is spiritual. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written. The first man, Adam, became a living being, the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:46 @ Now it is not the spiritual which is first, but the animal, and then the spiritual.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Like him who was of earth, are the earthy; and like Him who is of heaven, are the heavenly;
mnt@1Corinthians:15:49 @ As we have borne the likeness of him who was of earth, so also let us bear the likeness of Him who is of heaven.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo, I tell you a secret truth. we shall not all be sleeping, but we shall be changed,
mnt@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this corruptible must be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal must be clothed with immortality.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting?
mnt@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
mnt@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
