Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 Corinthians
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Corinthians
015:038 and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
015:039 All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh
of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.
015:040 There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which
are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing,
and that of the earthly ones is another.
015:041 There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another
of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
015:042 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body
is sown in a state of decay, it is raised free from decay;
015:043 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown
in weakness, it is raised in power;
015:044 an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised.
As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also
a spiritual body.
015:045 In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became
a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.
015:046 Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first,
but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.
015:047 The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man
is from Heaven.
015:048 What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy;
and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.
015:049 And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us
see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.
015:050 But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot
inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable
inherit what is imperishable.
015:051 I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
015:052 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding
of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead
will be raised incapable of decay, and *we* shall be changed.
015:053 For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself
with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe
itself with immortality.
015:054 But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable,
and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words
of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed
up in victory."
015:055 "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?"
015:056 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power
from the Law;
015:057 but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ!
015:058 Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied
at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil
is not fruitless in the Lord.
016:001 As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed
the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.
