1 Corinthians 15:36-58

361You foolG878! That whichG3739 you 2sowG4687 does not comeG2227 to lifeG2227 unlessG1437G3361 it diesG599; 37and that whichG3739 you sowG4687, you do not sowG4687 the bodyG4983 which is to be, but a bareG1131 grainG2848, perhapsG5177 of wheatG4621 orG2228 of 3somethingG5100 elseG3062. 38But GodG2316 givesG1325 it a bodyG4983 justG2531 as He wishedG2309, and 4to eachG1538 of the seedsG4690 a bodyG4983 of its ownG2398. 39AllG3956 fleshG4561 is not the sameG846 fleshG4561, but there is oneG243 flesh of menG444, and anotherG243 fleshG4561 of beastsG2934, and anotherG243 fleshG4561 of birdsG4421, and anotherG243 of fishG2486. 40There are alsoG2532 heavenlyG2032 bodiesG4983 and earthlyG1919 bodiesG4983, but the gloryG1391 of the heavenlyG2032 is oneG2087, and the glory of the earthlyG1919 is anotherG2087. 41There is oneG243 gloryG1391 of the sunG2246, and anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, and anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792; for starG792 differsG1308 from starG792 in gloryG1391.

425SoG3779 alsoG2532 is the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. It is sownG4687 67a perishableG5356 body, it is raisedG1453 89an imperishableG861 body; 43it is sownG4687 in dishonorG819, it is raisedG1453 in 10gloryG1391; it is sownG4687 in weaknessG769, it is raisedG1453 in powerG1411; 44it is sownG4687 a 11naturalG5591 bodyG4983, it is raisedG1453 a 12spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. IfG1487 there is a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, there is alsoG2532 a spiritualG4152 body. 45SoG3779 alsoG2532 it is writtenG1125, “The firstG4413 13manG444, AdamG76, becameG1096 a livingG2198 soulG5590.” The 14lastG2078 AdamG76 became a 15life-givingG2227 spiritG4151. 46HoweverG235, the spiritualG4152 is not firstG4413, but the naturalG5591; thenG1899 the spiritualG4152. 47The firstG4413 manG444 is 16from the earthG1093, 1718earthyG5517; the secondG1208 manG444 is from heavenG3772. 48As is the earthyG5517, soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are earthyG5517; and as is the heavenlyG2032, 19soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are heavenlyG2032. 49JustG2531 as we have 20borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, 21we 22will alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.

50NowG1161 I sayG5346 thisG3778, brethrenG80, that 23fleshG4561 and bloodG129 cannotG1410G3756 24inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; norG3761 does 25the perishableG5356 inheritG2816 2627the imperishableG861. 51BeholdG2400, I tellG3004 you a 28mysteryG3466; we will not allG3956 sleepG2837, but we will allG3956 be 29changedG236, 52in a momentG823, in the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, at the lastG2078 trumpetG4536; for 30the trumpetG4537 will soundG4537, and 31the deadG3498 will be raisedG1453 32imperishableG862, and 33we will be changedG236. 53For thisG3778 34perishableG5349 mustG1163 putG1746 on 3536the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 37mortalG2349 must putG1746 on immortalityG110. 54But whenG3752 thisG3778 38perishableG5349 will have putG1746 on 39the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 mortalG2349 will have putG1746 on immortalityG110, thenG5119 will comeG1096 about the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125, “40DeathG2288 is swallowedG2666 up in victoryG3534. 5541O deathG2288, whereG4226 is your victoryG3534? O deathG2288, whereG4226 is your stingG2759?” 56The stingG2759 of 42deathG2288 is sinG266, and 43the powerG1411 of sinG266 is the lawG3551; 57but 44thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, who givesG1325 us the 45victoryG3534 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

5846ThereforeG5620, my belovedG27 brethrenG80, be steadfastG1476, immovableG277, alwaysG3842 aboundingG4052 in 47the workG2041 of the LordG2962, knowingG3609 that your toilG2873 is not in vainG2756 in the LordG2962.
