⁸ why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?

³¹ because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'

³² And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'

³⁰ and God did raise him out of the dead,

³¹ and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

⁴⁰ `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with `him', and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;

⁴² and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead --

² being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead --

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.

¹² And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

¹³ and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;

¹⁴ and if Christ hath not risen, then void `is' our preaching, and void also your faith,

¹⁵ and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

¹⁶ for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,

¹⁷ and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

¹⁸ then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;

¹⁹ if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.

²⁰ And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead -- the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

¹⁹ but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

⁶ and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'

²⁷ and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.'

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why `is' this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really -- I bear -- and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'

²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

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.

³¹ `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

³² I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'

³⁷ because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
