Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. – If the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. – Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. – If we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. – The Lord Jesus Christ … shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. |
