26. The last enemy he will destroy is death.
27. Clearly, God has put everything under Christ’s authority. When God says that everything has been put under Christ’s authority, this clearly excludes God, since God has put everything under Christ’s authority.
28. But when God puts everything under Christ’s authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, since God had put everything under the Son’s authority. Then God will be in control of everything.
29. However, people are baptized because the dead ⌊will come back to life⌋. What will they do? If the dead can’t come back to life, why do people get baptized as if they can ⌊come back to life⌋?
30. Why are we constantly putting ourselves in danger?
31. Brothers and sisters, I swear to you on my pride in you which Christ Jesus our Lord has given me: I face death every day.
32. If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus, what have I gained according to the way people look at things? If the dead are not brought back to life, “Let’s eat and drink because tomorrow we’re going to die!”
33. Don’t let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people.
34. Come back to the right point of view, and stop sinning. Some people don’t know anything about God. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
35. But someone will ask, “How do the dead come back to life? With what kind of body will they come back?”
36. You fool! The seed you plant doesn’t come to life unless it dies first.
37. What you plant, whether it’s wheat or something else, is only a seed. It doesn’t have the form that the plant will have.
38. God gives the plant the form he wants it to have. Each kind of seed grows into its own form.
39. Not all flesh is the same. Humans have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have still another.
