OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. The facts of Christ's resurrection:... [ Continue Reading ]
MOREOVER, BRETHREN, I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU, WHICH ALSO YE HAVE RECEIVED, AND WHEREIN YE STAND... [ Continue Reading ]
BY WHICH ALSO YE ARE SAVED, IF YE KEEP IN MEMORY WHAT I PREACHED UNTO YOU, UNLESS YE HAVE BELIEVED IN VAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR I DELIVERED UNTO YOU FIRST OF ALL THAT WHICH I ALSO RECEIVED, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THAT HE WAS SEEN OF CEPHAS, THEN OF THE TWELVE;... [ Continue Reading ]
AFTER THAT HE WAS SEEN OF ABOVE FIVE HUNDRED BRETHREN AT ONCE, OF WHOM THE GREATER PART REMAIN UNTO THIS PRESENT, BUT SOME ARE FALLEN ASLEEP.... [ Continue Reading ]
AFTER THAT HE WAS SEEN OF JAMES, THEN OF ALL THE APOSTLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND LAST OF ALL HE WAS SEEN OF ME ALSO, AS OF ONE BORN OUT OF DUE TIME.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR I AM THE LEAST OF THE APOSTLES, THAT AM NOT MEET TO BE CALLED AN APOSTLE, BECAUSE I PERSECUTED THE CHURCH OF GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM WHAT I AM, AND HIS GRACE WHICH WAS BESTOWED UPON ME WAS NOT IN VAIN; BUT I LABORED MORE ABUNDANTLY THAN THEY ALL; YET NOT I, BUT THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH WAS WITH ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE, WHETHER IT WERE I OR THEY, SO WE PREACH, AND SO YE BELIEVED. There were, it seems, false apostles or very ignorant members at Corinth, men that claimed there was no resurrection of the dead. St. Paul, therefore, includes a detailed defense and exposition of the doctrine in his letter. The... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW IF CHRIST BE PREACHED THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD, HOW SAY SOME AMONG YOU THAT THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD?... [ Continue Reading ]
The resurrection of Christ basic for the Christian's faith:... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT IF THERE BE NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THEN IS CHRIST NOT RISEN;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IF CHRIST BE NOT RISEN, THEN IS OUR PREACHING VAIN, AND YOUR FAITH IS ALSO VAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
YEA, AND WE ARE FOUND FALSE WITNESSES OF GOD, BECAUSE WE HAVE TESTIFIED OF GOD THAT HE RAISED UP CHRIST, WHOM HE RAISED NOT UP, IF SO BE THAT THE DEAD RISE NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR IF THE DEAD RISE NOT, THEN IS NOT CHRIST RAISED;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IF CHRIST BE NOT RAISED, YOUR FAITH IS VAIN, YE ARE YET IN YOUR SINS.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THEY ALSO WHICH ARE FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST ARE PERISHED.... [ Continue Reading ]
IF IN THIS LIFE ONLY WE HAVE HOPE IN CHRIST, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE. All the Corinthians had to admit that in the doctrine of the resurrection of Christ (as in all other doctrines of the Christian faith) the apostles taught in perfect harmony. Christ was preached as having been raised fro... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD AND BECOME THE FIRST-FRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT.... [ Continue Reading ]
A victorious line of argument:... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH, BY MAN CAME ALSO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER: CHRIST THE FIRST-FRUITS; AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN COMETH THE END, WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; WHEN HE SHALL HAVE PUT DOWN ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR HE MUST REIGN TILL HE HATH PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR HE HATH PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET. BUT WHEN HE SAITH, ALL THINGS ARE PUT UNDER HIM, IT IS MANIFEST THAT HE IS EXCEPTED WHICH DID PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN ALL THINGS SHALL BE SUBDUED UNTO HIM, THEN SHALL THE SON ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL. In contrast with the deplorable results which would follow from the supposition as held by the ignorant deniers of the resurrection of the bod... [ Continue Reading ]
The effect of unbelief in the doctrine of the resurrection:... [ Continue Reading ]
ELSE WHAT SHALL THEY DO WHICH ARE BAPTIZED FOR THE DEAD, IF THE DEAD RISE NOT AT ALL? WHY ARE THEY, THEN, BAPTIZED FOR THE DEAD?... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHY STAND WE IN JEOPARDY EVERY HOUR?... [ Continue Reading ]
I PROTEST BY YOUR REJOICING WHICH I HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD, I DIE DAILY.... [ Continue Reading ]
IF AFTER THE MANNER OF MEN I HAVE FOUGHT WITH BEASTS AT EPHESUS, WHAT ADVANTAGES IT ME IF THE DEAD RISE NOT? LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.... [ Continue Reading ]
BE NOT DECEIVED; EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND SIN NOT; FOR SOME HAVE NOT THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD; I SPEAK THIS TO YOUR SHAME. Having been carried forward by his argument of the consequences of Christ's resurrection to a triumphant burst of victory, the apostle now returns to his general proposition, his object being to... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT SOME MAN WILL SAY, HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED UP? AND WITH WHAT BODY DO THEY COME?... [ Continue Reading ]
The nature of the resurrection:... [ Continue Reading ]
THOU FOOL, THAT WHICH THOU SOWS IS NOT QUICKENED EXCEPT IT DIE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THAT WHICH THOU SOWS THOU SOWS NOT THAT BODY THAT SHALL BE, BUT BARE GRAIN, IT MAY CHANCE OF WHEAT OR OF SOME OTHER GRAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT GOD GIVETH IT A BODY AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM, AND TO EVERY SEED HIS OWN BODY.... [ Continue Reading ]
ALL FLESH IS NOT THE SAME FLESH; BUT THERE IS ONE KIND OF FLESH OF MEN, ANOTHER FLESH OF BEASTS, ANOTHER OF FISHES, AND ANOTHER OF BIRDS.... [ Continue Reading ]
THERE ARE ALSO CELESTIAL BODIES AND BODIES TERRESTRIAL; BUT THE GLORY OF THE CELESTIAL IS ONE, AND THE GLORY OF THE TERRESTRIAL IS ANOTHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
THERE IS ONE GLORY OF THE SUN, AND ANOTHER GLORY OF THE MOON, AND ANOTHER GLORY OF THE STARS; FOR ONE STAR DIFFERS FROM ANOTHER STAR IN GLORY.... [ Continue Reading ]
SO ALSO IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. Not to know, not to believe in, the resurrection of the body, that is a shame and disgrace for a Christian; but the manner of the resurrection is a secret which at best may be illustrated by analogous processes in nature. In this way Paul meets the question:... [ Continue Reading ]
A contrast between the present and the future states:... [ Continue Reading ]
IT IS SOWN IN DISHONOR, IT IS RAISED IN GLORY; IT IS SOWN IN WEAKNESS, IT IS RAISED IN POWER;... [ Continue Reading ]
IT IS SOWN A NATURAL BODY, IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY. THERE IS A NATURAL BODY, AND THERE IS A SPIRITUAL BODY.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN, ADAM, WAS MADE A LIVING, SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT.... [ Continue Reading ]
HOWBEIT THAT WAS NOT FIRST WHICH IS SPIRITUAL, BUT THAT WHICH IS NATURAL; AND AFTERWARD THAT WHICH IS SPIRITUAL.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE FIRST MAN IS OF THE EARTH, EARTHY; THE SECOND MAN IS THE LORD FROM HEAVEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
AS IS THE EARTHY, SUCH ARE THEY ALSO THAT ARE EARTHY; AND AS IS THE HEAVENLY, SUCH ARE THEY ALSO THAT ARE HEAVENLY.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AS WE HAVE BORNE THE IMAGE OF THE EARTHY, WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY. As the apostle develops this beautiful contrast, he retains the imagery of the pictures used in the previous section and thus makes his presentation concrete, easily understood, in a fine, symmetrical pattern... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW THIS I SAY, BRETHREN, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; NEITHER DOTH CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION.... [ Continue Reading ]
The transformation of the last day and the victory over death:... [ Continue Reading ]
BEHOLD, I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY: WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED... [ Continue Reading ]
IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP; FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.... [ Continue Reading ]
SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE SHALL HAVE PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORTALITY, THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.... [ Continue Reading ]
O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY?... [ Continue Reading ]
THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN, AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, BE YE STEADFAST, UNMOVABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD, FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOR IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD. The apostle here sets forth a final argument for the resurrection of the body. For the burial of the dead, with its picture of decay... [ Continue Reading ]
