Old/New Testament
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has established them for ever and ever: he has made a law which shall not be broken.
7 ¶ Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps,
8 fire and hail; snow and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word,
9 mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars,
10 beasts and all animals; creeping things and flying fowl,
11 kings of the earth and all the peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 both young men and maidens, the old with the children,
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above earth and heavens.
He
14 has exalted the horn of his people; let all his merciful ones praise him; even of the sons of Israel, the people near unto him. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Sing unto the LORD a new song, let his praise be in the congregation of the merciful.
2 Let Israel rejoice with his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful with their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he will beautify the humble with saving health.
5 The merciful shall be joyful with glory; they shall sing aloud upon their beds.
6 ¶ The high praises of God shall be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 to execute vengeance upon the Gentiles and punishments upon the peoples,
8 to imprison their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron,
9 to execute upon them the judgment written: this shall be glory for all his merciful ones. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts; praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the shofar; praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals; praise him upon the cymbals of joy.
6 Let every thing that has breath praise JAH. Halelu-JAH.
29 Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 I die daily to stay in the glory of having taught you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what does it advantage me, if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good character.
34 Watch diligently, and sin not; for some do not know God: I speak this to your shame.
35 ¶ But someone will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not brought to life, unless it dies first;
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but bare grain: it may be of wheat or of some other grain;
38 but God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to each seed its own body.
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.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the heavenly glory is one thing, and the earthly glory is another.
41 One thing is the glory of the sun, and another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall be raised in incorruption;
43 it is sown in dishonour, it shall be raised with glory; it is sown in weakness, it shall be raised with power;
44 it is sown a natural body, it shall be raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.
46 Howbeit the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and afterward, that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord of heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are those also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also are those that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 ¶ Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall all indeed be raised, but we shall not all be changed;
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised without corruption, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
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 word that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
