  For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

• Acts 24:14

  But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

• Acts 24:15

  having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

• Acts 26:6

  Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

• Acts 26:7

  which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

• Acts 26:8

  Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?

• Romans 4:16

  For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

• Romans 4:17

  As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

• Romans 4:18

  Besides hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”

• Romans 4:19

  Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

• Romans 4:20

  Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

• Romans 4:21

  and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

• Romans 6:4

  We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

• Romans 8:10

  If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

• Romans 8:11

  But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

• Romans 8:19

  For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

• Romans 8:21

  that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

• Romans 8:22

  For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

• Romans 8:23

  Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

• 1 Corinthians 6:14

  Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

• 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

  But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

• 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.

• 1 Corinthians 15:16

  For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

• 1 Corinthians 15:17

  If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

• 1 Corinthians 15:18

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

• 1 Corinthians 15:19

  If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

• 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 15:30

  Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

• 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 15:35

  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?”

• 1 Corinthians 15:56

  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

• 1 Corinthians 15:57

  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

• 2 Corinthians 4:14

  knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

• 2 Corinthians 5:1

  For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

• 2 Corinthians 5:2

  For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

• 2 Corinthians 5:3

  if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.

• 2 Corinthians 5:4

  For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

• 2 Corinthians 5:5

  Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

• Ephesians 2:1

  You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

• Ephesians 2:5

  even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

• Ephesians 2:6

  and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

• Philippians 3:10

  that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

• Philippians 3:11

  if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

• Philippians 3:21

  who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

• Colossians 2:12

  having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

• Colossians 3:1

  If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

• 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 4:16

  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,

• 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.

• Revelation 1:18

  and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever more. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

• Revelation 11:11

  After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

• Revelation 20:4

  I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

• Revelation 20:5

  The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

• Revelation 20:6

  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

• Revelation 20:13

  The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
