Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:12

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:12 -

Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:13 - But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:14

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:14 - And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:15

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:16 - For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:21

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:21 - For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:22

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:22 - For as in Adam all die, so also in [fn]Christ all will be made alive.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:23

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:24

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:27

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:28 - And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:29 -

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:30

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:30 - Why are we also in danger every hour?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:31

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:32

The Resurrection Body

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:35

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:35 -

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:36

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:36 - You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:37

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:37 - and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of [fn]something else.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:38

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:38 - But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:40

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:40 - There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:41

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:41 - There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:42

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:42 -

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [fn]a corruptible body, it is raised [fn]an incorruptible body;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:43

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:43 - it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:44

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:44 - it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:45

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:45 - So also it is written, “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:46

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:46 - However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:47

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:47 - The first man is from the earth, [fn]earthy; the second man is from heaven.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:48

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:48 - As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:49

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:49 - And just as we have borne the image of the earthy, [fn]we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:50

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:50 -

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the corruptible inherit the incorruptible.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:51

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:51 - Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:52

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:52 - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:53

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:53 - For this corruptible must put on the incorruptible, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:54

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:54 - But when this corruptible puts on the incorruptible, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the word that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:55

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:55 - “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:56

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:56 - Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:57

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:57 - but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Co 15:58

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:58 -

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
