24. Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
27. For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
28. And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
29. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30. Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31. I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32. If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
33. Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.

37. and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
38. but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
