Old/New Testament
148 Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise Him in the high places!
2 Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all His army!
3 Praise Him, Sun and Moon! Praise Him, all bright stars!
4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 And He has established them forever and ever. He has made an ordinance which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the Earth, you dragons and all depths:
8 fire and hail, snow and vapors, stormy wind — which execute His Word —
9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars,10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and feathered birds,
11 kings of the Earth and all people, princes and all judges of the world,
12 young men and maidens, also old men and children.
13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for only His Name is to be exalted. His praise is above the Earth and the heavens.
14 For He has exalted the horn of His people — a praise for all His saints, for the children of Israel — a people that is near to Him. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
149 Sing to the LORD a new song! Let His praise be heard in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in Him Who made him; and let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His Name with the flute. Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD has pleasure in His people. He will make the meek glorious by deliverance.
5 Let the saints be joyful with glory! Let them sing loud upon their beds.
6 Let the high acts of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hands —
7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen and corrections among the people,
8 to bind their kings in chains and their nobles with fetters of iron —
9 so that they may execute upon them the judgment that is written. This honor shall be to all His saints. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
150 Praise God in His Sanctuary! Praise Him in the firmament of His power.
2 Praise Him in His mighty acts! Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
3 Praise Him in the sound of the trumpet! Praise Him upon the viol and the harp.
4 Praise Him with timbrel and flute! Praise Him with virginals and organs.
5 Praise Him with sounding cymbals! Praise Him with high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
29 Or else what shall they do who are baptized for dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they baptized for dead?
30 Why are we also in danger every hour?
31 By your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If, after the habit of man, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead are not raised up? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
33 Do not be deceived. Bad company corrupts good morals.
34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin. For some do not have the knowledge of 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 forth?”
36 O fool. That which you sow does not come alive unless it dies.
37 And that which you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but bare corn as it falls, of wheat, or of some other.
38 But God gives it a body at His pleasure, even to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of man, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.
40 There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
41 There is another glory of the Sun, and another glory of the Moon, and another glory of the stars. For one star differs from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption and is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in dishonor and is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness and is raised in power.
44 It is sown a natural body and is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 As it is also written, “The first man, Adam, was made a living soul.” And the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.
46 But that which is spiritual was not first; but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the Earth, earthly. The second Man is the Lord from Heaven.
48 As is the earthly, such are those who are earthly. And as is the heavenly, such are those also who are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
50 This I say, brothers: that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall be raised up incorruptible, 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 has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up into victory.”
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin. And the strength of sin is the Law.
57 But thanks be to God, Who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, abundant always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
