he was. 9:1 Ac 9:3-5,17 18:9 22:14,18 26:16 2Co 12:1-6

one born out of due time. or, an abortive.

9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

the least. 2Co 11:5 12:11 Eph 3:7,8

because. Ac 8:3 9:1 *etc: Ac 22:4,5 26:9-11 Ga 1:13,23 Php 3:6 1Ti 1:13,14

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

if. See on. 4

how. 13-19 Ac 26:8 2Th 2:17

13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

2,17 Ps 73:13 Isa 49:4 Ge 8:8 Mt 15:9 Ac 17:31 Ga 2:2 Jas 1:26 2:20

15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

we have. Ac 2:24,32 4:10,33 10:39-42 13:30-33 20:21

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

fallen. 6 1Th 4:13,14 Re 14:13

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

the first-fruits. 23 Ac 26:23 Ro 8:11 Col 1:18 1Pe 1:3 Re 1:5

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

by man came death. 22 Ro 5:12-17

by man came also. Joh 11:25 Ro 6:23

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

in Adam. 45-49 Ge 2:17 3:6,19 Joh 5:21-29 Ro 5:12-21

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Ps 2:6-10 45:3-6 110:1 Mt 22:44 Mr 12:36 Lu 20:42,43 Ac 2:34 Eph 1:22 Heb 1:13 10:12,13

55 Isa 25:8 Ho 13:14 Lu 20:36 2Ti 1:10 Heb 2:14 Re 20:14 21:4

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

Ps 8:6 Mt 11:27 28:18 Joh 3:35 13:3 Eph 1:20 Php 2:9-11 Heb 1:13 2:8 10:12 1Pe 3:22 Re 1:18

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

all things. Ps 2:8,9 18:39,47 21:8,9 Da 2:34,35,40-45 Mt 13:41-43 Php 3:21 Re 19:11-21 20:2-4,10-15

29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

31 Ro 8:36-39 2Co 4:7-12 6:9 11:23-27 Ga 5:11

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

How. Job 11:12 22:13 Ps 73:11 Ec 11:5 Eze 37:3,11 Joh 3:4,9 9:10

with. 38-53 Mt 22:29,30 Php 3:21

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

fool. Lu 12:20 24:25 Ro 1:22 Eph 5:15

that. Joh 12:24

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.

3:7 Ge 1:11,12 Ps 104:14 Isa 61:11 Mr 4:26-29

39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

Ge 1:20-26

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

Ge 1:14 De 4:19 Job 31:26 Ps 8:3 19:4-6 148:3-5 Isa 24:23

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

is. 50-54 Da 12:3 Mt 13:43 Php 3:20,21

in corruption. Ge 3:19 Job 17:14 Ps 16:10 49:9,14 Isa 38:17 Ac 2:27,31 Ac 13:34-37 Ro 1:23 8:21

it is. 52-54 Lu 20:35,36 1Pe 1:4

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

in dishonour. Da 12:1 Mt 13:43 Php 3:20,21

weakness. Job 14:10 *marg: Ps 102:23 2Co 13:4

in power. 6:14 Mt 22:29,30 Mr 12:24,25 2Co 13:14 Php 3:10

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

there is a spiritual. Lu 24:31 Joh 20:19,26

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

The first. 47-49 Ge 2:7 Ro 5:12-14 Re 16:3

a quickening. Joh 1:4 4:10,14 5:21,25-29 6:33,39,40,54,57,63,68 10:10,28 Joh 11:25,26 14:6,19 17:2,3 Ac 3:15 Ro 5:17,21 8:2,10,11 Php 3:21 Col 3:4 1Jo 1:1-3 5:11,12 Re 21:6 22:1,17

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

that which is natural. Ro 6:6 Eph 4:22-24 Col 3:9,10

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

first. 45 Ge 2:7 3:19 Joh 3:13,31 2Co 5:1

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

such are they also that are earthy. 21,22 Ge 5:3 Job 14:4 Joh 3:6 Ro 5:12-21

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

as. Ge 5:3

we shall. Mt 13:43 Ro 8:29 2Co 3:18 4:10,11 1Jo 3:2

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

this. 1:12 7:29 2Co 9:6 Ga 3:17 5:16 Eph 4:17 Col 2:4

that. 6:13 Mt 16:17 Joh 3:3-6 2Co 5:1

put. Ro 13:12-14 2Co 5:2-4 Ga 3:27 Eph 4:24 1Jo 3:2

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

this mortal. Ro 2:7 6:12 8:11 2Co 4:11 2Th 1:10
