1 Corinthians

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

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.

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

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.

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

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:

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

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.

I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

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 when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ"s at his coming.
