   [27] For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all   
   things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put   
   all things under him.   
   [28] And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also   
   himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be   
   all in all.   
   [29] Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead   
   rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?   
   [30] And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?   
   [31] I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I   
   die daily.   
   [32] If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what   
   advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow   
   we die.   
   [33] Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.   
   [34] Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of   
   God: I speak this to your shame.   
      
   The Resurrection Body   
      
   35 (Eze 37:3) But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?   
   With what body do they come?”   
   36 (Jn 12:24) You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.   
   37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,   
   perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.   
   38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.   
   39 All flesh is not the same flesh. There is one kind of flesh of men,   
   another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds.   
   40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies.   
   The glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial   
   is another.   
   41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon,   
   and another glory of the stars. One star differs from another star in glory.   
   42 (Da 12:3; Mt 13:43) So also is the resurrection of the dead.   
   The body is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.   
   43 (Col 3:4) It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory.   
   It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.   
   44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.   
   There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.   
   45 (Ge 2:7; Ro 8:2; Jn 5:21) So it is written,   
   "The first man Adam was made a living soul." (Ge 2:7.)   
   The last Adam was made a life-giving spirit.   
   46 However, that which is spiritual is not first, but the natural,   
   and then the spiritual.   
   47 (Jn 3:31; Ge 2:7; 3:19) The first man was of the earth, made of dust;   
   the second man was the Lord from heaven.   
   48 (Php 3:20-21) As was the man of dust, so are those who are of dust;   
   and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.   
   49 (Ge 5:3; Ro 8:29) As we have borne the image of the man of dust,   
   we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.   
   50 (Mt 16:17) Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot   
   inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.   
   51 (1Co 13:2; Php 3:21) Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,   
   but we shall all be changed.   
   52 (Mt 24:31; Jn 5:25; Isa 27:13) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,   
   at the last trumpet, for the trumpet will sound,   
   the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   
   53 (2Co 5:2-4; 1Jn 3:2) For this corruptible will put on incorruption,   
   and this mortal will put on immortality.   
   54 (Isa 25:8; Rev 20:14) When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,   
   and this mortal will have put on immortality, then the saying that is written   
   shall come to pass: "Death is swallowed up in victory."(Isa 25:8.)   
   55 (Hos 13:14) "O death, where is your sting?   
   O grave, where is your victory?"(Hos 13:14.)   
   56 (Ro 4:15) The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.   
   57 (Ro 8:37; 2Co 2:14) But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory   
   through our Lord Jesus Christ!   
   58 (1Co 16:10; 2Pe 3:14) Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast,   
   unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that   
   your labor in the Lord is not in vain.   
      
   [35] But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body   
   do they come?   
   [36] Thou 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 other grain:   
   [38] But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his   
   own body.   
   [39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men,   
   another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.   
   [40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory   
   of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.   
   [41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and   
   another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in   
   glory.   
   [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it   
   is raised in incorruption:   
   [43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness;   
   it is raised in power:   
   [44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a   
   natural body, and there is a spiritual body.   
   [45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the   
   last Adam 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 second man is the Lord from   
   heaven.   
   [48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the   
   heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.   
   [49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the   
   image of the heavenly.   
   [50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the   
   kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.   
   [51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all   
   be changed,   
   [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the   
   trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we   
   shall be changed.   
   [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put   
   on immortality.   
   [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this   
   mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the   
   saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.   
   [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?   
   [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.   
   [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the 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 is   
   not in vain in the Lord.

   The Contribution for the Saints   
      
   1 (Ac 24:17; 16:6) Now concerning the collection for the saints,   
   as I have given instruction to the churches of Galatia, so even you must do.   
   2 (Ac 20:7; Rev 1:10; Lk 24:1) On the first day of the week let every   
   one of you lay in store, as God has prospered him,   
   so that no collections be made when I come.   
   3 And when I come, I will send whomever you approve with your letters   
   to take your generous gifts to Jerusalem.   
   4 If it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.   
      
   [1] Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to   
   the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.   
   [2] Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store,
