50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh & blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God: neither doth corruption inherite incorruption.
51Behold, I shew you a mysterie: we shall not all sleepe, but wee shall all be changed,
52In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last trumpe, (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.)
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
54So when this corruptible shall haue put on incorruption, & this mortall shall haue put on immortality, then shall be brought to passe the saying that is written, *Death is swallowed vp in victorie.
55O death, where is thy sting? O ‖graue, where is thy victorie?
56The sting of death is sinne, and the strength of sinne is the law.

16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
16Therefore it is of faith, that it might bee by grace; to the ende the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
17(As it is written, *I haue made thee a father of many nations) ‖before him whom he beleeued, euen God who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which bee not, as though they were,
18Who against hope, beleeued in hope, that hee might become the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken, *So shall thy seede bee.
19And being not weake in faith, hee considered not his owne body now dead, when hee was about an hundred yere old, neither yet the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
20Hee staggered not at the promise of God through vnbeliefe: but was strong in faith, giuing glory to God:
21And being fully perswaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to performe.
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him:

1THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
1¶ The booke of the *generation of Iesus Christ, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.
2*Abraham begate Isaac, and *Isaac begate Iacob, and *Iacob begate Iudas and his brethren.
3And *Iudas begate Phares and Zara of Thamar, and *Phares begate Esrom, and Esrom begate Aram.
4And Aram begate Aminadab, and Aminadab begate Naasson, and Naasson begate Salmon.
5And Salmon begat Boos of Rachab, and Boos begate Obed of Ruth, and Obed begate Iesse.
6And *Iesse begate Dauid the King, & *Dauid the King begat Solomon of her that had bin the wife of Urias.
7And *Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begate Abia, and Abia begate Asa.
8And Asa begate Iosaphat, and Iosaphat begate Ioram, and Ioram begate Ozias.
9And Ozias begat Ioatham, and Ioatham begate Achas, and Achas begate Ezekias.
10And *Ezekias begate Manasses, and Manasses begate Amon, and Amon begate Iosias.
11And †Iosias begate Iechonias and his brethren, about the time they were caried away to Babylon.
12And after they were brought to Babylon, *Iechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begate Zorobabel.
13And Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begate Azor.
14And Azor begat Sadoc, & Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud.
15And Eliud begate Eleazar, and Eleazar begate Matthan, and Matthan begate Iacob.
16And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, who is called Christ.
17So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourteene generations: and from Dauid vntill the carying away into Babylon, are foureteene generations: and from the carying away into Babylon vnto Christ, are fourteene generations.
