But some of you will say, How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?

And that which you sow is not the body that shall be, but the bare grain; it may chance to be of wheat or barley, or some other seed.

But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed, its own natural body.

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

There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; We shall not all die, but we shall all be changed,

But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ.

But I will tarry at Eph''e-sus until Pentecost.

Let no man therefore despise him: but escort him in peace, that he may come to me: for I wait for him with the brethren.

My brethren, as for Apollos, I have often begged him to visit you with the brethren: probably it was not intended that he should come to you; but he will come to you when he has an opportunity.

And we decided to die, not trusting in ourselves but in God who raises the dead:

But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Ti-mo''the-us, was not yes and no, but with him always yes.

Not that we are the masters of your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.

BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in sadness.

For if I make you sad, who can make me happy, but him whom I made sad?

For out of great affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you with many tears; not to make you feel distressed, but that you may know the abundant love I have for you.

But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me only, but to a certain degree all of you, therefore the news will not be a shock to you.

For we are not like those who corrupt the word of God: but according to the truth, and as men of God we speak through Christ in the sight of God.
