³⁵ But some one will say, `How do the dead rise?

³ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou -- Thou hast known.'

²¹ who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

³⁸ and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.

³⁹ All flesh `is' not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;

⁴⁰ and `there are' heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one `is' the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

⁴¹ one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory.

⁴² So also `is' the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

⁴³ it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

⁴⁴ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

⁴⁵ so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam `is' for a life-giving spirit,

⁴⁶ but that which is spiritual `is' not first, but that which `was' natural, afterwards that which `is' spiritual.

⁴⁷ The first man `is' out of the earth, earthy; the second man `is' the Lord out of heaven;

⁴⁸ as `is' the earthy, such `are' also the earthy; and as `is' the heavenly, such `are' also the heavenly;

⁴⁹ and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;

⁵¹ lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed;

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we -- we shall be changed:

⁵³ for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

¹⁹ Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

¹⁰ They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?'

⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'

²⁹ And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

³⁰ for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

¹¹ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.

⁵ As thou knowest not what `is' the way of the spirit, How -- bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work of God who maketh the whole.

¹¹ And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

¹³ And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?

¹² And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.
