antage is it to me? If the dead rise not, let us eat and drink, for
to-morrow we die. [15:33]Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt
good morals. [15:34]Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have
not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

5 [15:35]But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? and with
what body do they come? [15:36]Foolish man, what you sow is not made
alive unless it dies; [15:37]and what you sow, you sow not the body
which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the
other grains; [15:38]but God gives it a body as he pleases, and to each
of the grains its own body. [15:39] 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 fishes. [15:40]And there are heavenly
bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and of
the earthly another. [15:41]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. [15:42]So also is the resurrection of the dead. It
is sown in destruction, it is raised in indestructibleness; [15:43]it
is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it
is raised in power; [15:44]it is sown a natural body, it is raised a
spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual
body. [15:45]And thus it is written; The first man Adam became a
living soul; the last Adam is a life-giving spirit. [15:46] But the
spiritual was not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. [15:47]
The first man was from the earth, earthly, the second man is from
heaven. [15:48]Like the earthly, such also are the earthly; and like
the heavenly, such also are the heavenly; [15:49]and as we have borne
the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

6 [15:50]But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God, nor shall destruction inherit indestructibleness.
[15:51] Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, [15:52]in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead be
raised, indestructible, and we shall be changed. [15:53]For this
destructible must put on indestructibleness, and this mortal must put
on immortality. [15:54]And when this destructible has put on
indestructibleness, and this mortal has put on immortali
