1 Corinthians 15:54

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Don’t quench the Spirit.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.”

Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.

Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance; the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’

Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.”

and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, ‘Don’t lodge tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.’ ”

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up Yahweh’s inheritance?”

“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
