1 Corinthians 15:40-16:24

JuliaSmith(i) 40 And celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies: but truly one the glory of the celestial, and another that of the terrestrial. 41 One glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differs from star in glory. 42 So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown an animated body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animated body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive. 46 But the first not spiritual, but animated; then the spiritual. 47 The first man of earth, made of earth: the second man the Lord from heaven. 48 As the made of earth, such also the made of earth: and as the celestial, such also the celestial. 49 And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial. 50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I speak to you a mystery; We truly shall not all be laid asleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality. 54 And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory. 55 Where thine, death, the sting? where thine, hades, the victory 56 And the sting of death sin; and the power of sin the law. 57 And grace to God, giving us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord. 16 1 And concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I appointed to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. 2 According to one day of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, treasuring up that which he is prospered in, that when I come there be no collections. 3 And when I be present, whom ye approve by letters, these will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem. 4 And if it be suitable for me also to go, they shall go with me. 5 And I will come to you, when I pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. 6 And perhaps with you I shall abide, or also pass the winter, that ye might send me forward wherever I go. 7 For I will not see you now in coming forward; but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit. 8 And I will remain in Ephesus even till Pentecost. 9 For a door has stood open to me, great and effective, and many opposed. 10 And if Timotheus come, see ye that he be with you fearlessly: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also. 11 Therefore no one should despise him: and send ye him forward in peace, that he might come to me: for I expect him with the brethren. 12 And concerning Apollos, the brother, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren: and the will was not altogether that he should come now; and he will come when he should have leisure. 13 Watch ye, stand in the faith, be manly, be strengthened.. 14 Let all things be in love. 15 And I beseech you brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they arranged themselves for service to the holy ones,) 16 That also ye be subjected to such, and to every one cooperating, and to the wearied. 17 And I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and : that they have filled up your necessity. 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore observe ye such. 19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the church at their house, greet you. 20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss. 21 The greeting of Paul by my hand. 22 If any love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ with you: 24 My love with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
