The King James Version Bible

1 Corinthians 15:29-41

  1. 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?

  2. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

  3. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.

  4. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

  5. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

  6. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

  7. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

  8. Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

  9. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

  10. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

  11. 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.

  12. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

  13. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
