1Corinthians:15:29-50

*
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead ,
if the dead rise not at all ?
why are they then baptized for the dead ?
*
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour ?
*
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord ,
I die daily .
*
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus ,
what advantageth it me ,
if the dead rise not ?
let us eat and drink ;
for to morrow we die .
*
Be not deceived :
evil communications corrupt good manners .
*
Awake to righteousness ,
and sin not ;
for some have not the knowledge of God :
I speak this to your shame .
*
But some man will say ,
How are the dead raised up ?
and with what body do they come ?
*
Thou fool ,
that which thou sowest is not quickened ,
except it die :
*
And that which thou sowest ,
thou sowest not that body that shall be ,
but bare grain ,
it may chance of wheat ,
or of some other grain :
*
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him ,
and to every seed his own body .
*
All flesh is not the same flesh :
but there is one kind of flesh of men ,
another flesh of beasts ,
another of fishes ,
and another of birds .
*
There are also celestial bodies ,
and bodies terrestrial :
but the glory of the celestial is one ,
and the glory of the terrestrial 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 dishonour ;
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 .
*
And so it is written ,
The first man Adam was made a living soul ;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit .
*
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual ,
but that which is natural ;
and afterward that which is spiritual .
*
The first man is of the earth ,
earthy :
the second man is the Lord from heaven .
*
As is the earthy ,
such are they also that are earthy :
and as is the heavenly ,
such are they also that are heavenly .
*
And as we have borne the image of the earthy ,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly .
*
Now this I say ,
brethren ,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption .
