1 Corinthians 15:15-55 (New American Standard)

15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified aagainst God that He 1raised bChrist, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised ; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless ; 2you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who 3have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are 4of all men most to be pitied.

The Order of Resurrection

20 But now Christ 5has been raised from the dead, the 6first fruits of those who 7are asleep. 21 For since 8by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For 9as in Adam all die, so also in cChrist all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order : Christ 10the first fruits, after that 11those who are Christ's at 12His coming, 24 then comes the end, when He hands over 13the kingdom to the 14God and Father, when He has abolished 15all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign 16until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be 17abolished is death. 27 For 18HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "19All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When 20all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that 21God may be all in all. 29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead ? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 30 Why are we also 22in danger every hour ? 31 I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, 23I die daily . 32 If dfrom human motives I 24fought with wild beasts at 25Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, 26LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. 33 27Do not be deceived : "Bad company corrupts good morals." 34 28Become sober-minded eas you ought, and stop sinning ; for some have 29no knowledge of God. 30I speak this to your shame. 35 But 31someone will say, "How are 32the dead raised ? And with what kind of body do they come ?" 36 33You fool ! That which you 34sow does not come to life unless it dies ; 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 fsomething else. 38 But God gives it a body just as He wished, and 35to each of the seeds a body of its own. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 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. 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. 42 36So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown g37a perishable body, it is raised h38an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in 39glory ; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power ; 44 it is sown a 40natural body, it is raised a 41spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, "The first 42MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The 43last Adam became a 44life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural ; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is 45from the earth, i46earthy ; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy ; and as is the heavenly, 47so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have 48borne the image of the earthy, jwe 49will also bear the image of the heavenly.

The Mystery of Resurrection

50 Now I say this, brethren, that 50flesh and blood cannot 51inherit the kingdom of God ; nor does kthe perishable inherit l52the imperishable. 51 Behold, I tell you a 53mystery ; we will not all sleep, but we will all be 54changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet ; for 55the trumpet will sound, and 56the dead will be raised mimperishable, and 57we will be changed. 53 For this nperishable must put on o58the imperishable, and this 59mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this pperishable will have put on qthe imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "60DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 55 "61O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY ? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING ?"
