Bible Verses About The Resurrection

And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;

and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;

if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.

And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead--the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead,

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

But some one will say, `How do the dead rise?

unwise! thou--what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die;

and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,

and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;

and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory.

So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit,

but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual.

The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven;
