• 1 Corinthians 15:12

  Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

• 1 Corinthians 15:13

• 1 Corinthians 15:14

  If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

• 1 Corinthians 15:15

  Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

  Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

• 1 Corinthians 15:19

• 1 Corinthians 15:20

  But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

• 1 Corinthians 15:21

  For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

• 1 Corinthians 15:22

  For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

• 1 Corinthians 15:23

  But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

• 1 Corinthians 15:24

  Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

• 1 Corinthians 15:25

  For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

• 1 Corinthians 15:26

  The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

• 1 Corinthians 15:27

  For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

• 1 Corinthians 15:28

  When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

• 1 Corinthians 15:29

  Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

• 1 Corinthians 15:31

  I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

• 1 Corinthians 15:32

  If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

• 1 Corinthians 15:33

  Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

• 1 Corinthians 15:34

  Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

• 1 Corinthians 15:35

  But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

• 1 Corinthians 15:36

  You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

• 1 Corinthians 15:37

  That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

• 1 Corinthians 15:38

  But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

• 1 Corinthians 15:39

  All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

• 1 Corinthians 15:40

  There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

• 1 Corinthians 15:41

  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.

• 1 Corinthians 15:42

  So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

• 1 Corinthians 15:43

  It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

• 1 Corinthians 15:44

  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

• 1 Corinthians 15:45

  So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

• 1 Corinthians 15:46

  However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

• 1 Corinthians 15:47

  The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

• 1 Corinthians 15:48

  As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

• 1 Corinthians 15:49

  As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

• 1 Corinthians 15:50

  Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

• 1 Corinthians 15:51

  Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

• 1 Corinthians 15:52

  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

• 1 Corinthians 15:53

  For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

• 1 Corinthians 15:54

  But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

• 1 Corinthians 15:55

  “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”

• Galatians 6:8

  For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

• Colossians 1:5

  because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

• Colossians 1:6

  which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

• 1 Thessalonians 4:13

  But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:14

  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:15

  For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16

  For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

• 1 Thessalonians 4:17

  then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:18

  Therefore comfort one another with these words.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:10

  who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

• 2 Thessalonians 1:7

  and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

• 2 Thessalonians 1:8

  giving vengeance to those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

• 2 Thessalonians 1:9

  who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

• 2 Thessalonians 2:16

  Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

• 1 Timothy 4:8

  For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

• 1 Timothy 6:19

  laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

• 2 Timothy 1:9

  who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

• 2 Timothy 1:10

  but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

  in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

  For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

• Hebrews 10:34

  For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

• Hebrews 11:5

  By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

• Hebrews 11:10

  For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

• Hebrews 11:13

  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

• Hebrews 11:14

  For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

• Hebrews 11:15

  If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.

• Hebrews 11:16

  But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

• 1 Peter 1:3

  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
