1 Cor. 15:3‑58• 3For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
 4and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
 6Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
 7Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
 8and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.
 9For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
 10But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not *I*, but the grace of God which was with me.
 11Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
 12Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among the dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of those that are dead?
 13But if there is not a resurrection of those that are dead, neither is Christ raised:
 14but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
 15And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised.
 16For if those that are dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
 17but if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
 18Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are the most miserable of all men.
 20(But now Christ is raised from among the dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
 21For since by man came death, by man also resurrection of those that are dead.
 22For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
 23But each in his own rank: the first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
 24Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.
 25For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
 26The last enemy that is annulled is death.
 27For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.
 28But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
 29Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
 30Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?
 31Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 32If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
 33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
 34Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
 35But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
 36Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.
 37And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
 38and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
 39Every flesh is not the same flesh, but one is of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
 40And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
 41one the sun's glory, and another the moon's glory, and another the stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
 42Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
 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: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.
 45Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
 46But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
 47the first man out of the earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
 48Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones.
 49And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.
 50But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
 52in an instant, 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.
 53For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
 54But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
 55Where, O death, is thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?
 56Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin the law;
 57but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
 58So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Cor. 15:3‑58)
• The permanence of this delivering work is stated in the last verse of the chapter, in which the Lord addresses the prophet as the representative of the nation. In that day they will possess two things: — “My Spirit” and “My words”. When the sons of poor, failing Jacob shall be dominated by the Spirit of the Lord, so that they walk in obedience to the words of the Lord, their full blessing will have come. (“Isaiah 59” by F.B. Hole)
• Through Haggai the prophet, God encouraged the remnant who had returned to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel in a similar way. In verse 5 of chapter 2 we have “the word that I covenanted with you”, and “My Spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.” (“Isaiah 59” by F.B. Hole)
