men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what is the profit to 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 say it to your shame.

(35)But some one will say: How do the dead rise? And with what kind of
body do they come? (36)Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die; (37)and what thou sowest, not the body that
shall be sowest thou, but bare grain, perchance of wheat, or of some
other grain. (38)But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to
each of the seeds its own body.

(39)All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, another of birds.
(40)There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory
of the heavenly is one, and that 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)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption,
it rises in incorruption. (43)It is sown in dishonor, it rises in
glory. It is sown in weakness, it rises in power. (44)It is sown a
natural body, it rises a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual. (45)So also it
is written: The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a
life-giving spirit. (46)But the spiritual is not first, but the
natural; and afterward the spiritual. (47)The first man was of the
earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. (48)As was 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 bore the image of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

(50)And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the
kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. (51)Behold,
I tell 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 will sound, and the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (53)For this corruptible must
put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (54)And
when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then will be brou
