1My friends, I want you to remember the message that I preached and that you believed and trusted.
2You will be saved by this message, if you hold firmly to it. But if you don't, your faith was all for nothing.
3I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is:
Christ died for our sins,
as the Scriptures say.
4He was buried,
and three days later
he was raised to life,
as the Scriptures say.
5Christ appeared to Peter,
then to the twelve.
6After this, he appeared
to more than five hundred
other followers.
Most of them are still alive,
but some have died.
7He also appeared to James,
and then to all
the apostles.
8Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time.
9I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God's church that I don't even deserve to be called an apostle.
“Let's eat and drink.
Tomorrow we die.”
33Don't fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you.
34Be sensible and stop sinning. You should be embarrassed that some people still don't know about God.
What our bodies will be like35Some of you have asked, “How will the dead be raised to life? What kind of bodies will they have?”
36Don't be foolish. A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground.
37Wheat seeds and all other seeds look different from the sprouts that come up.
38This is because God gives everything the kind of body he wants it to have.
39People, animals, birds, and fish are each made of flesh, but none of them are alike.
40Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others.
41The sun isn't like the moon, the moon isn't like the stars, and each star is different.
42That's how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live for ever.
43These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong.
44As there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
45The first man was named Adam, and the Scriptures tell us that he was a living person. But Jesus, who may be called the last Adam, is a life-giving spirit.
“Death has lost the battle!
55Where is its victory?
Where is its sting?”
56Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin.
57But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory!
58My dear friends, stand firm and don't be shaken. Always keep busy working for the Lord. You know that everything you do for him is worthwhile.
