1 Corinthians 15:35-57

Weymouth New Testament WNT

35 But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?"

36 Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies;

37 and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit,

38 and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

39 All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.

40 There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

42 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in a state of decay, it is raised free from decay;

43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

44 an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body.

45 In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.

46 Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.

47 The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.

48 What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.

50 But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.

51 I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and *we* shall be changed.

53 For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality.

54 But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

55 "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?"

56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law;

57 but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

New International Version NIV

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.

39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.

40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.

41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

43 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.

48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
