1 Cor. 15:3‑58• 3For I delivered to you, in the first place, that which I also 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, after that to the twelve.
 6After that he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain till now, but some also have fallen asleep.
 7After that he appeared to James, after that to all the apostles;
 8and last of all, as to the abortion, he appeared to me also.
 9For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God;
 10but by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace that [was] towards me became not empty, but I laboured more abundantly than they all, yet not I but the grace of God that [was] with me.
 11Whether then I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye believed.
 12But if Christ is preached that he is raised from [the] dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
 13But if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither is Christ raised;
 14and if Christ is not raised, then also empty [is] our preaching, and empty also your faith;
 15and we are also found false witnesses of God, because we witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he raised not, if indeed no dead are raised.
 16For if no dead are raised, neither is Christ raised;
 17and if Christ is not raised, vain [is] your faith; ye are yet in your sins;
 18then also those that fell asleep in Christ perished.
 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are most to be pitied of all men.
 20But now is Christ raised from [the] dead, firstfruit of those fallen asleep.
 21For since by man [is] death, by man also resurrection of dead.
 22For as in the Adam all die, so also in the Christ shall all be made alive;
 23but each in his own rank: [the] firstfruit Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming;
 24then the end, when he giveth up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father, when he shall have done away all rule, and all authority, and power.
 25For he must reign until he put all the enemies under his feet.
 26Death, last enemy, is to be done away.
 27For he subjected all things under his feet. But when he saith that all things have been subjected, [it is] manifest that [it is] except him who subjected all things to him.
 28But when all things shall have been subjected to him, then also the Son himself will be subjected to him that subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
 29Else what shall they do that are being baptized for the dead? If no dead rise at all, why also are they baptized for them?
 30Why are we also in danger every hour?
 31Daily I die, by the boasting of you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 32If after man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what [is] the profit to me? If no dead rise, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
 33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
 34Wake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak unto your shame.
 35But someone will say, How are the dead to rise? 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 of some one of the rest;
 38and God giveth to it a body as he 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.
 40[There are] both bodies heavenly and bodies earthly; but different [is] the glory of the heavenly, and different that of the earthly:
 41one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differeth from star in glory.
 42So also [is] the resurrection of the dead.
 43It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; it 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.
 45So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening Spirit:
 46yet not first [is] the spiritual, but the natural, afterward the spiritual;
 47the first man out of the earth made of dust, the second man out of heaven:
 48as [is] he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and as [is] the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones];
 49and even as we bore the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [ones].
 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
 52in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for it shall sound, and the dead shall rise incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.
 54But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.
 55Where, death, [is] thy victory? where, death, thy sting?
 56Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
 57but thanks to God that giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 58Wherefore, my brethren beloved, be firm, immoveable, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that your toil is not empty 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)
