1 Corinthians 15 — Context

32

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

33

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

34

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

35

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

36

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

37

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

38

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
