The Scriptures 1998

1 Corinthians 15:42-56 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

42. So also is the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

43. it is sown in disrespect, it is raised in esteem; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

44. it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45. And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being,” the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit.

46. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

47. The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second Man is the Master from heaven.

48. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

49. And as we have borne the likeness of the earthy, we shall also bear the likeness of the heavenly.

50. And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood is unable to inherit the reign of Elohim, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

51. See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52. in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53. For this corruptible has to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality.

54. And when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall come to be the word that has been written, “Death is swallowed up in overcoming.”

55. “O Death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your overcoming?”

56. And the sting of death is the sin, and the power of the sin is the Torah.
