Book of Common Prayer
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars. For star differs from star in glory.
So Also Is The Resurrection of The Dead. We Are Raised In a Heavenly Body
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay[a]; it is raised in undecayability[b]. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural[c] body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is[d] a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it has been written [in Gen 2:7], “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”. The Last Adam[e] became a life-giving[f] spirit. 46 But the spiritual body is not first— but the natural body, then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from earth, made-of-dust. The second Man is from heaven[g]. 48 Such[h] as was the one made-of-dust— such ones also are the ones made-of-dust. And such as is the heavenly One— such ones also are the heavenly ones. 49 And just as we bore[i] the image[j] of the one made of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly One.
Behold, I Tell You a Mystery: We Will Not All Die, But We Will All Conquer Death
50 Now I say this, brothers: that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor does decay inherit undecayability.
It Pleases God To Hide The Kingdom From The Wise And Reveal It To The Childlike
25 At that time, having responded, Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that[a] You hid these things from wise ones and intelligent ones, and You revealed them to children[b]. 26 Yes, Father, because[c] in-this-manner it became well-pleasing in Your sight. 27 All things were handed-over to Me by My Father. And no one knows[d] the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom[e] the Son wills[f] to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all the ones being weary and having been burdened[g], and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy[h], and My burden[i] is light”.
