15:39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, other of birds, another of fishes. 15:40. And there are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial. 15:41. One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory. 15:42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption: it shall rise in incorruption. 15:43. It is sown in dishonour: it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness: it shall rise in power. 15:44. It is sown a natural body: it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written: 15:45. The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit. 15:46. Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterwards that which is spiritual. 15:47. The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly. 15:48. Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly. 15:49. Therefore, as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly. 15:50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption. 15:51. Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not 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 shall rise again incorruptible. And we shall be changed. 15:53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality. 15:54. And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. 15:55. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? 15:56. Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law. 15:57. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 15:58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable: always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians Chapter 16 Of collection of alms. Admonitions and salutations. 16:1. Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints: as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also. 16:2. On the first day of the week, let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made. 16:3. And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem. 16:4. And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
