"Yes," they exclaimed, "we can." ²³ "You shall indeed drink my cup," he said, "but as to a seat at my right and at my left--that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

²³ That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:-- ²⁴ "Teacher, Moses said--'Should a man die without children, the man's brother shall become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.' ²⁵ Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother. ²⁶ The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven. ²⁷ The woman herself died last of all. ²⁸ At the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be out of the seven, all of them having had her?" ²⁹ "Your mistake," replied Jesus, "is due to your ignorance of the Scriptures, and of the power of God. ³⁰ For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in Heaven. ³¹ As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God-- ³² 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living."

³¹ When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he 'will take his seat on his throne of glory'; ³² And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people--just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats- - ³³ Placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. ³⁴ Then the King will say to those on his right 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter upon possession of the Kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world. ³⁵ For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes; ³⁶ When I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.' ³⁷ Then the Righteous will answer 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?' ⁴⁰ And the King will reply 'I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my Brothers, however lowly, you did it to me.' ⁴¹ Then he will say to those on his left 'Go from my presence, accursed, into the 'aeonian fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels.' ⁴² For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink; ⁴³ When I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.' ⁴⁴ Then they, in their turn, will answer 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?' ⁴⁵ And then he will reply 'I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however lowly, you failed to do it to me.' ⁴⁶ And these last will go away 'into aeonian punishment,' but the righteous 'into aeonian life.'"

¹ Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John ² (Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),

¹² However, when they came to believe Philip, as he told them the Good News about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Even Simon believed, and after his baptism attached himself to Philip, and was in his turn mystified at seeing signs and great miracles constantly occurring. ¹⁴ When the Apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had welcomed God's Message, they sent Peter and John to them; ¹⁵ And they, on their arrival, prayed that the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (As yet the Spirit had not descended upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the Faith of the Lord Jesus). ¹⁷ Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that it was through the placing of the Apostles' hands on them that the Spirit was given, he brought them a sum of money and said:

³⁶ Presently, as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the Treasurer exclaimed: "Look! here is water; what is to prevent my being baptized?" ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ So he ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water--both Philip and the Treasurer--and Philip baptized him.

¹⁸ Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some would ask "What is this prater wanting to make out?", while others would say "He seems to be a Preacher of foreign Deities." (This was because he was telling the Good News about Jesus and the Resurrection).

³¹ Because he has fixed a day on which he intends to 'judge the world with justice,' by a man whom he has appointed--and of this he has given all men a pledge by raising this man from the dead." ³² On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they would hear what he had to say about that another time.

² "Did you, when you became believers in Christ, receive the Holy Spirit?" "No," they answered, "we did not even hear that there was a Holy Spirit." ³ "What then was your baptism?" Paul asked. ⁴ "John's baptism was a baptism upon repentance," rejoined Paul, "and John told the people (speaking of the 'One Coming; after him) that they should believe in him--that is in Jesus." ⁵ On hearing this, they were baptized into the faith of the Lord Jesus, ⁶ And, after Paul had placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit descended upon them, and they began to speak with 'tongues' and to preach.

⁶ Noticing that some of those present were Sadducees and others Pharisees, Paul called out in the Council: "Brothers, I am a Pharisee and a son of Pharisees. It is on the question of hope for the dead and of their resurrection that I am on my trial."

⁵ Hard-hearted and impenitent as you are, you are storing up for yourself Wrath on the 'Day of Wrath,' when God's justice as a judge will be revealed; ⁶ For 'he will give to every man what his actions deserve.' ⁷ To those who, by perseverance in doing good, aim at glory, honor, and all that is imperishable, he will give Immortal Life; ⁸ While as to those who are factious, and disobedient to Truth but obedient to Evil, wrath and anger, distress and despair, ⁹ Will fall upon every human being who persists in wrong-doing- -upon the Jew first, but also upon the Greek. ¹⁰ But there will be glory, honor, and peace for every one who does right-for the Jew first, but also for the Greek,

¹⁶ On the day when God passes judgment on men's inmost lives, as the Good News that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.

³ Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death? ⁴ Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father's power, so we also may live a new Life. ⁵ If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we shall also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.

¹² I mean this, that every one of you says either 'I follow Paul,' or 'I Apollos,' or 'I Kephas,' or 'I Christ.' ¹³ You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ So that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the Good News; not, however, in the language of philosophy, lest the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.

² That in the cloud and in the sea they all underwent baptism as followers of Moses;

¹³ For it was by one Spirit that we were all baptized to form one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men, and were all imbued with one Spirit.

¹³ But, if there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then even Christ has not been raised; ¹⁴ And, if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without meaning, and our faith without meaning also! ¹⁵ Yes, and we are being proved to have borne false testimony about God; for we testified of God that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead do not rise! ¹⁶ For, if the dead do not rise, then even Christ himself has not been raised, ¹⁷ And, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is folly-your sins are on you still! ¹⁸ Yes, and they, who have passed to their rest in union with Christ, perished! ¹⁹ If all that we have done has been to place our hope in Christ for this life, then we of all men are the most to be pitied. ²⁰ But, in truth, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are at rest. ²¹ For, since through a man there is death, so, too, through a man there is a resurrection of the dead. ²² For, as through union with Adam all men die, so through union with the Christ will all be made to live. ²³ But each in his proper order-Christ the first-fruits; afterwards, at his Coming, those who belong to the Christ. ²⁴ Then will come the end-when he surrenders the Kingdom to his God and Father, having overthrown all other rule and all other authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign until God 'has put all his enemies under his feet.' ²⁶ The last enemy to be overthrown is death; ²⁷ For God has placed all things under Christ's feet. (But, when it is said that all things have been placed under Christ, it is plain that God is excepted who placed everything under him.) ²⁸ And, when everything has been placed under him, the Son will place himself under God who placed everything under him, that God may be all in all! ²⁹ Again, what good will they be doing who are baptized on behalf of the dead? If it is true that the dead do not rise, why are people baptized on their behalf? ³⁰ Why, too, do we risk our lives every hour? ³¹ Daily I face death-I swear it, Brothers, by the pride in you that I feel through my union with Christ Jesus, our Lord. ³² If with only human hopes I had fought in the arena at Ephesus, what should I have gained by it? If the dead do not rise, then-'Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die'! ³³ Do not be deceived. 'Good character is marred by evil company.' ³⁴ Awake to a righteous life, and cease to sin. There are some who have no true knowledge of God. I speak in this way to shame you. ³⁵ Some one, however, may ask 'How do the dead rise? and in what body will they come?' ³⁶ You foolish man! The seed you yourself sow does not come to life, unless it dies! ³⁷ And when you sow, you sow not the body that will be, but a mere grain-perhaps of wheat, or something else. ³⁸ God gives it the body that he pleases-to each seed its special body. ³⁹ All forms of life are not the same; there is one for men, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fishes. ⁴⁰ There are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is not the beauty of the earthly. ⁴¹ There is a beauty of the sun, and a beauty of the moon, and a beauty of the stars; for even star differs from star in beauty. ⁴² It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. Sown a mortal body, it rises immortal; sown disfigured, it rises beautiful; ⁴³ Sown weak, it rises strong; sown a human body, it rises a spiritual body. ⁴⁴ As surely as there is a human body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ That is what is meant by the words-'Adam, the first man, became a human being'; the last Adam became a Life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ That which comes first is not the spiritual, but the human; afterwards comes the spiritual; ⁴⁷ The first man was from the dust of the earth; the second man from Heaven. ⁴⁸ Those who are of the dust are like him who came from the dust; and those who are of Heaven are like him who came from Heaven. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the likeness of him who came from the dust, so let us bear the likeness of him who came from Heaven. ⁵⁰ This I say, Brothers-Flesh and blood can have no share in the Kingdom of God, nor can the perishable share the imperishable. ⁵¹ Listen, I will tell you God's hidden purpose! We shall not all have passed to our rest, but we shall all be transformed-in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, ⁵² At the last trumpet-call; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise immortal, and we, also, shall be transformed. ⁵³ For this perishable body of ours must put on an imperishable form, and this dying body a deathless form. ⁵⁴ And, when this dying body has put on its deathless form, then indeed will the words of Scripture come true- ⁵⁵ 'Death has been swallowed up in victory! Where, O Death, is thy victory? Where, O Death, is thy sting?' ⁵⁶ It is sin that gives death its sting, and it is the Law that gives sin its power. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

¹⁰ For at the Bar of the Christ we must all appear in our true characters, that each may reap the results of the life which he has lived in the body, in accordance with his actions--whether good or worthless.

²¹ Who, by the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, will make this body that we have in our humiliation like to that body which he has in his Glory.

¹² For in baptism you were buried with Christ; and in baptism you were also raised to Life with him, through your faith in the omnipotence of God, who raised him from the dead.

¹⁴ For, as we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring, with Jesus, those who through him have passed to their rest. ¹⁵ This we tell you on the authority of the Lord--that those of us who are still living at the Coming of the Lord will not anticipate those who have passed to their rest. ¹⁶ For, with a loud summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the trumpet-call of God, the Lord himself will come down from Heaven. ¹⁷ Then those who died in union with Christ shall rise first; and afterwards we who are still living shall be caught up in the clouds, with them, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall be for ever with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore, comfort one another with what I have told you.

¹⁸ They have gone completely astray as regards the Truth; they say that a resurrection has already taken place, and so upset some people's faith.

¹⁰ the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions--external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the New Order.

³⁵ Women received back their dead raised to life. Some were tortured on the wheel, and refused release in order that they might rise to a better life.

²⁰ who once were disobedient, at the time when God patiently waited, in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; in which some few lives, eight in all, were saved by means of water. ²¹ And baptism, which this foreshadowed, now saves you--not the mere cleansing of the body, but the search of a clear conscience after God--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

⁷ But the present heavens and earth, by the same fiat, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the day of the judgment and destruction of the godless.

¹⁴ To these men, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared-- 'See! the Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him, ¹⁵ to execute judgment upon all men, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!'

¹⁰ and the Devil, their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false Prophet already were, and they will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated on it. 'The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.' ¹² And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books. ¹³ The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. ¹⁴ Then Death and the Lord of the Place of Death were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death--the lake of fire; ¹⁵ and all whose names 'were not found written in the Book of Life' were hurled into the lake of fire.
