1 Corinthians 15:35-54

35But 1someoneG5100 will sayG3004, “HowG4459 are 2the deadG3498 raisedG1453? And with whatG4169 kindG4169 of bodyG4983 do they comeG2064?” 363You foolG878! That whichG3739 you 4sowG4687 does not comeG2227 toG2227 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 5somethingG5100 elseG3062. 38But GodG2316 givesG1325 it a bodyG4983 justG2531 asG2531 He wishedG2309, and 6to eachG1538 of the seedsG4690 a bodyG4983 of its ownG2398. 39AllG3956 fleshG4561 is not the sameG846 fleshG4561, but there is oneG243 flesh of mankindG444, anotherG243 fleshG4561 of animalsG2934, 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, anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, and anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792; for starG792 differsG1308 from starG792 in gloryG1391.

427SoG3779 alsoG2532 is the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. It is sownG4687 89a perishableG5356 body, it is raisedG1453 1011an imperishableG861 body; 43it is sownG4687 in dishonorG819, it is raisedG1453 in 12gloryG1391; it is sownG4687 in weaknessG769, it is raisedG1453 in powerG1411; 44it is sownG4687 a 13naturalG5591 bodyG4983, it is raisedG1453 a 14spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. IfG1487 there is a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, there is alsoG2532 a spiritualG4152 body. 45SoG3779 alsoG2532 it is writtenG1125: “The firstG4413 15manG444, AdamG76, becameG1096 a livingG2198 16personG5590.” The 17lastG2078 AdamG76 was a 18life-givingG2227 spiritG4151. 46HoweverG235, the spiritualG4152 is not firstG4413, but the naturalG5591; thenG1899 the spiritualG4152. 47The firstG4413 manG444 is 19from the earthG1093, 2021earthyG5517; the secondG1208 ManG444 is from heavenG3772. 48As is the earthyG5517 one, soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are earthyG5517; and as is the heavenlyG2032 One, 22soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are heavenlyG2032. 49JustG2531 asG2531 we have 23borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, 24we 25will alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.

50NowG1161 I sayG5346 thisG3778, brothersG80 and sisters, that 26fleshG4561 and bloodG129 cannotG1410G3756 27inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; norG3761 does 28the perishableG5356 inheritG2816 2930the imperishableG861. 51BeholdG2400, I am tellingG3004 you a 3132mysteryG3466; we will not allG3956 sleepG2837, but we will allG3956 be 33changedG236, 52in a momentG823, in the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, at the lastG2078 trumpetG4536; for 34the trumpetG4537 will soundG4537, and 35the deadG3498 will be raisedG1453 36imperishableG862, and 37we will be changedG236. 53For thisG3778 38perishableG5349 mustG1163 putG1746 on 3940the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 41mortalG2349 must putG1746 on immortalityG110. 54But whenG3752 thisG3778 42perishableG5349 putsG1746 on 43the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 mortalG2349 putsG1746 on immortalityG110, thenG5119 will comeG1096 aboutG1096 the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125: “44DeathG2288 has been swallowedG2666 upG2666 in victoryG3534.
