1 Corinthians 15:33-58

1Co 15:33 Don't be fooled: "Bad friends will ruin good habits."
1Co 15:34 Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you don't know God. I say this to shame you.
1Co 15:35 But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?"
1Co 15:36 These are stupid questions. When you plant something, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow.
1Co 15:37 And when you plant something, what you plant does not have the same "body" that it will have later. What you plant is only a seed, maybe wheat or something else.
1Co 15:38 But God gives it the body that he has planned for it, and he gives each kind of seed its own body.
1Co 15:39 All things made of flesh are not the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have yet another kind.
1Co 15:40 Also there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the beauty of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is another.
1Co 15:41 The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon has another kind, and the stars have another. And each star is different in its beauty.
1Co 15:42 It will be the same when those who have died are raised to life. The body that is "planted" in the grave will ruin and decay, but it will be raised to a life that cannot be destroyed.
1Co 15:43 When the body is "planted," it is without honor. But when it is raised, it will be great and glorious. When the body is "planted," it is weak. But when it is raised, it will be full of power.
1Co 15:44 The body that is "planted" is a physical body. When it is raised, it will be a spiritual body. There is a physical body. So there is also a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 As the Scriptures say, "The first man, Adam, became a living person." But the last Adam is a life-giving spirit.
1Co 15:46 The spiritual man did not come first. It was the physical man that came first; then came the spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven.
1Co 15:48 All people belong to the earth. They are like that first man of earth. But those who belong to heaven are like that man of heaven.
1Co 15:49 We were made like that man of earth, so we will also be made like that man of heaven.
1Co 15:50 I tell you this, brothers and sisters: Our bodies of flesh and blood cannot have a part in God's kingdom. Something that will ruin cannot have a part in something that never ruins.
1Co 15:51 But listen, I tell you this secret: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
1Co 15:52 It will only take the time of a second. We will be changed as quickly as an eye blinks. This will happen when the last trumpet blows. The trumpet will blow and those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we will all be changed.
1Co 15:53 This body that ruins must clothe itself with something that will never ruin. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that will never die.
1Co 15:54 So this body that ruins will clothe itself with that which never ruins. And this body that dies will clothe itself with that which never dies. When this happens, the Scriptures will be made true: "Death is swallowed in victory."
1Co 15:55 "O death, where is your victory? Where is your power to hurt?"
1Co 15:56 Death's power to hurt is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But we thank God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
1Co 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Don't let anything change you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord. You know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.
