But some man will say , How are the dead raised up ? and with what body do they come ? 36Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened , except it die : 37 And that which thou sowest , thou sowest not that body that shall be , but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some othergrain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him , and to every seed his own body. 39 Allflesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men , another flesh of beasts , anotherof fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but theglory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of thesun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth fromanother star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raisedin incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised inpower: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and thereis a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written , The first man Adam was made a living soul; the lastAdam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the secondman is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is theheavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of theearthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say , brethren, that flesh andblood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold , Ishew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep , but we shall all be changed , 52 In a moment, in thetwinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound , and the dead shall be raisedincorruptible, and we shall be changed . 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and thismortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and thismortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written , Deathis swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 Thesting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth usthe victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour isnot in vain in the Lord.
