1Corinthians:15:35-58

nsb@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will say: How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?

nsb@1Corinthians:15:36 @ You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:37 @ That which you sow, you sow not that body that will develop, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain:

nsb@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:39 @ 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.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies. The glory of the celestial is one thing and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:41 @ 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.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption. It is raised in incorruption.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:43 @ It is sown in dishonor. It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness and it is raised in power.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:44 @ It is sown a natural body and it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written: »The first man Adam was made a living being.« The last Adam became a life giving spirit!

nsb@1Corinthians:15:46 @ How is it the first is not spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man is from the earth, earthy: the second man is from heaven.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As is the earthy so are those who are of the earth. And as is the heavenly, so are those who are of heaven.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Corruption may not inherit incorruption.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I show you a secret. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

nsb@1Corinthians:15:52 @ In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last reverberation of the trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:53 @ This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this corruptible shall be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal shall be clothed with immortality, then the saying will come true: »Death is swallowed up in victory.«

nsb@1Corinthians:15:55 @ »O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?«

nsb@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks to God, because he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable. Always have plenty to do in the work of the Lord, for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
