1 Corinthians 15:12-27

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, ^ahow can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^bthen not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that ^che raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and ^dyou are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who ^ehave fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope ^{▼▼Or we have hoped} in this life only, ^gwe are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But in fact ^hChrist has been raised from the dead, ⁱthe firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as ^jby a man came death, ^kby a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For ^las in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then ^mat his coming ⁿthose who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers ^othe kingdom to God the Father after destroying ^pevery rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign ^quntil he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be ^rdestroyed is death. 27 For ^s“God ^{▼▼Greek he} has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.

Philippians 3:21

21 who will transform ^uour lowly body ^vto be like his glorious body, ^wby the power that enables him even ^xto subject all things to himself.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-16

14 For ^ysince we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him ^zthose who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you ^aaby a word from the Lord, ^{▼▼Or by the word of the Lord} that ^acwe who are alive, who are left until ^adthe coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For ^aethe Lord himself will descend ^affrom heaven ^agwith a cry of command, with the voice of ^ahan archangel, and ^aiwith the sound of the trumpet of God. And ^ajthe dead in Christ will rise first.

Revelation of John 20:6

6 ^akBlessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^althe second death has no power, but they will be ^ampriests of God and of Christ, and they ^anwill reign with him for a thousand years.

Revelation of John 20:12-13

12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^aobooks were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^apthe book of life. And ^aqthe dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^araccording to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^asDeath and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^ataccording to what they had done.
