1 Corinthians 15:27-42 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

27. For “he subjected all things under his feet.” But when it says “all things” are subjected, it is clear that the one who subjected all things to him is not included.

28. But whenever all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected all things to him, in order that God may be all in all.

29. Otherwise, why do they do it, those who are being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why indeed are they being baptized on behalf of them?

30. And why are we in danger every hour?

31. I die every day—yes indeed, by my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord!

32. If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

33. Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

34. Sober up correctly and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.

35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?”

36. Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37. And what you sow is not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest.

38. But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.

39. Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish,

40. and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind.

41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.

42. Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
