The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.

They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:42 NLT

It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:41 NLT

The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind. And even the stars differ from each other in their glory.

Mar 31

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:40 NLT

There are also bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of the earthly bodies.

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:39 NLT

Similarly there are different kinds of flesh—one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

Mar 31

But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?” What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first. And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting. Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:32 NLT

And what value was there in fighting wild beasts—those people of Ephesus—if there will be no resurrection from the dead? And if there is no resurrection, “Let’s feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:29 NLT

If the dead will not be raised, what point is there in people being baptized for those who are dead? Why do it unless the dead will someday rise again?

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:28 NLT

Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 15:3-10 NLT

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace. I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him. For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 14:34 NLT

Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.

Mar 31

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 14:20 NLT

Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind.

Mar 31

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 14:15 NLT

Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit, and I will also pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will also sing in words I understand.

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 14:4 NLT

A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

Mar 31

Tawnya Reynolds

highlighted 1 Corinthians 14:2 NLT

For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious.
