1 Corinthians - ch 15 v 41 - 58
- one the sun's glory, and another the moon's glory, and another the stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
- Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
- 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: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.
- Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
- But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
- the first man out of the earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
- Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones.
- And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.
- But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
- Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
- in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
- For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
- But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
- Where, O death, is thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?
- Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin the law;
- but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
- So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
