To Be Determined

Uncategorized Scripture

:

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?


:

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


:

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


:

Yes, we are 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.


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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.


:

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


:

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.


:

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.


:

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.


:

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?


:

Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?


:

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


:

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.”


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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.


:

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


:

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.


:

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


:

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.


:

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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.


:

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


:

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.


:

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


:

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.


:

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

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


:

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.


:

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.


:

On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.


:

When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.


:

If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.


:

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.


:

But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.


:

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.


:

But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,


:

for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.


:

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.


:

Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.


:

Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.


:

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!


:

Let all that you do be done in love.


:

Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),


:

that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.


:

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.


:

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.


:

The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.


:

All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.


:

This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.


:

If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!


:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.


:

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.


:

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:


:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;


:

who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.


:

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.


:

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.


:

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.


:

For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.


:

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,


:

who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;


:

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.


:

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.


:

For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end;


:

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.


:

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;


:

and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.


:

When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”


:

But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”


:

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”


:

For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen,” to the glory of God through us.


:

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;


:

who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.


:

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.


:

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.


:

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.


:

For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?


:

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.


:

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.


:

But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
