1 Corinthians 15:40-16:24 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: But the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: But the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: For one star differs from another star in glory. ⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: ⁴³ It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living soul"; the last Adam was made a life giving spirit. ⁴⁶ Nevertheless, that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second Man is the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As is the earthy, such are also those that are earthy: And as is the heavenly, such are also those that are heavenly. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all decease, but we shall all be changed, ⁵² 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. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory." ⁵⁵ "O Death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, seeing you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. ¹⁶ ¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so you do. ² Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay something by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. ³ And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters, I will send them to bring your liberality to Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it is suitable that I go also, they shall go with me. ⁵ Now I will come to you, when I pass through Macedonia: For I do pass through Macedonia. ⁶ And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go. ⁷ For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permits. ⁸ But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. ⁹ For a great and effectual door is opened to me, and there are many adversaries. ¹⁰ Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear: For he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. ¹¹ Therefore let no man despise him: But guide him forth in peace, that he may come to me: Indeed, I look for him with the brethren. ¹² Now concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly implored him to come to you with the brethren: But he was quite unwilling to come at this time; but he will come at his convenience when he has time. ¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith, carry through like men, be strong. ¹⁴ Let all your actions be done with love. ¹⁵ I beseech you, brethren, (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) ¹⁶ that you submit yourselves to such, and to everyone that helps work with us, and labors. ¹⁷ I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus: For that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. ¹⁸ For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: Therefore acknowledge them that are such. ¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you greatly in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. ²⁰ All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. ²² If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. ²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
