- 1 Corinthians 15:42–54Rank 5 from verse 28
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
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.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead, it is sowen in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
43It is sowen in dishonour, it is raysed in glorie: it is sowen in weakenesse, it is raysed in power:
44It is sowen a naturall body, it is raised a spirituall bodie. There is a naturall bodie, and there is a spirituall bodie.
45And so it is written: The first man Adam was made a liuing soule, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord from heauen.
48As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy, and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
49And as we haue borne the image of the earthy, wee shall also beare the image of the heauenly.
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.

10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
1¶ The hand of the LORD was vpon mee, and caried mee out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set mee downe in the middest of the valley which was full of bones,
2‖And caused mee to passe by them round about, and beholde, there were very many in the open valley, and loe, they were very drie.

4Againe he said vnto me, Prophecie vpon these bones, and say vnto them; O yee drie bones, heare the word of the LORD.
5Thus saith the LORD God vnto these bones, Behold, I wil cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall liue.
6And I wil lay sinewes vpon you, and wil bring vp flesh vpon you, and couer you with skinne, and put breath in you, and ye shall liue, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7So I prophecied as I was commanded: and as I prophecied, there was a noise, and beholde a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8And when I beheld, loe, the sinews and the flesh came vp vpon them, and the skin couered them aboue; but there was no breath in them.
9‖Then said he vnto mee, Prophecie vnto the winde, prophecie sonne of man, and say to the winde, Thus saith the LORD God; Come from the foure windes, O breath, and breathe vpon these slaine, that they may liue.
10So I prophecied as he commanded mee, and the breath came into them, and they liued, and stood vp vpon their feet, an exceeding great armie.
