⁴³ `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

³ and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo, the tabernacle of God `is' with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them -- their God,

⁴ and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.'

⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

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;

⁵⁴ and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up -- to victory;

²⁹ and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.'

³⁴ `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

¹⁵ he who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.

²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it `is' the Lamb;

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

²⁹ and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁶ naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
