1 Corinthians 15

Lord Jesus, you have risen from the dead, and you are the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. Death came by man, and then by you, the Son of Man, came the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. You, Lord, are the first fruit and after you those who are yours at your coming. Then comes the end when you deliver the kingdom to God, our father.

At that time you will have put all enemies under your feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

The dead are raised to a new body given to us as it pleases God. The fleshy body we had is sown like a seed. What is sown like a seed is not made alive unless it dies. And when you sow, you do not sow the body that you reap. But the new body is in the seed and comes forth after the seed is planted and dies, and it becomes what God has ordained it to be.

Yes, the body 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. Lord Jesus, you are a life-giving spirit.
