came death, by
man came also the resurrection of the dead. (22)For as in Adam all are
dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. (23)But every one in
his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are
Christ's at his appearing. (24)Then cometh the end, when he shall
deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have
destroyed every dominion and every authority and power. (25)For he must
reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet. (26)The last enemy
shall be destroyed, death. (27)For he hath put all things under his
feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is
evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to
him. (28)But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the
Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him,
that God may be all in all. (29)Else what will they do who are
baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they
then baptised for the dead? (30)and why do we also expose ourselves to
danger every hour? (31)I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which
I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. (32)If after the manner
of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage
would it be to me, if the dead did not rise again? shall we eat and
drink; because to-morrow we die? (33)Be not deceived: evil
conversations corrupt good manners. (34)Awake as the righteous, and sin
not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.
(35)But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what
body do they come? (36)Thou fool! what thou sowest is not quickened
except it die: (37)and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body
which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of
some of the other seeds: (38)but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth,
and to each of the seeds its peculiar body.
(39)All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of
men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of
birds. (40)Also there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.
(41)There is one glory of the sun; and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for star differeth from star in glory.
(42)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption: (43)it is sown i
