Psalms
83-85
Psa
83:1 God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still,
God.
Psa
83:2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you
have lifted up their heads.
Psa
83:3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot
against your cherished ones.
Psa
83:4 "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a
nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
Psa
83:5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an
alliance against you.
Psa
83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
Psa
83:7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of
Tyre;
Psa
83:8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children
of Lot. Selah.
Psa
83:9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at
the river Kishon;
Psa
83:10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
Psa
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes
like Zebah and Zalmunna;
Psa
83:12 who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."
Psa
83:13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.
Psa
83:14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the
mountains on fire,
Psa
83:15 so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your
storm.
Psa
83:16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name,
Yahweh.
Psa
83:17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them
be confounded and perish;
Psa
83:18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are
the Most High over all the earth.
Psa
84:1 How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
Psa
84:2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My
heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Psa
84:3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of
Armies, my King, and my God.
Psa
84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always
praising you. Selah.
Psa
84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their
hearts on a pilgrimage.
Psa
84:6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of
springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
Psa
84:7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears
before God in Zion.
Psa
84:8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob.
Selah.
Psa
84:9 Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
Psa
84:10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the
tents of wickedness.
Psa
84:11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace
and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk
blamelessly.
Psa
84:12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
Psa
85:1 Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored
the fortunes of Jacob.
Psa
85:2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered
all their sin. Selah.
Psa
85:3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the
fierceness of your anger.
Psa
85:4 Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation
toward us to cease.
Psa
85:5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger
to all generations?
Psa
85:6 Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Psa
85:7 Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.
Psa
85:8 I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak
peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to
folly.
Psa
85:9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may
dwell in our land.
Psa
85:10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
Psa
85:11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down
from heaven.
Psa
85:12 Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield
its increase.
Psa
85:13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his
steps.

Corinthians 15
1Co
15:1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached
to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
1Co
15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which
I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.
1Co
15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received:
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
1Co
15:4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures,
1Co
15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
1Co
15:6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of
whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
1Co
15:7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
1Co
15:8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he
appeared to me also.
1Co
15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be
called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
1Co
15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was
bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them;
yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1Co
15:11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you
believed.
1Co
15:12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the
dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the
dead?
1Co
15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has
Christ been raised.
1Co
15:14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain,
and your faith also is in vain.
1Co
15:15 Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified
about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is
so that the dead are not raised.
1Co
15:16 For if the dead aren't raised, neither has Christ been raised.
1Co
15:17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are
still in your sins.
1Co
15:18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
1Co
15:19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all
men most pitiable.
1Co
15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the
first fruits of those who are asleep.
1Co
15:21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also
came by man.
1Co
15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made
alive.
1Co
15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those
who are Christ's, at his coming.
1Co
15:24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all
authority and power.
1Co
15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his
feet.
1Co
15:26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
1Co
15:27 For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet."
But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is
evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
1Co
15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will
also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him,
that God may be all in all.
1Co
15:29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If
the dead aren't raised at all, why then are they baptized for the
dead?
1Co
15:30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
1Co
15:31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus
our Lord, I die daily.
1Co
15:32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what
does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat
and drink, for tomorrow we die."
1Co
15:33 Don't be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good
morals."
1Co
15:34 Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge
of God. I say this to your shame.
1Co
15:35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?"
and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
1Co
15:36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive
unless it dies.
1Co
15:37 That which you sow, you don't sow the body that will be, but a
bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
1Co
15:38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each
seed a body of its own.
1Co
15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of
men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
1Co
15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but
the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
1Co
15:41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in
glory.
1Co
15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
1Co
15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power.
1Co
15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
1Co
15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a
living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1Co
15:46 However that which is spiritual isn't first, but that which is
natural, then that which is spiritual.
1Co
15:47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is
the Lord from heaven.
1Co
15:48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made
of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly.
1Co
15:49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's also
bear the image of the heavenly.
1Co
15:50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can't inherit
the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co
15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we
will all be changed,
1Co
15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we will be changed.
1Co
15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
1Co
15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and
this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will
happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
1Co
15:55 "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your
victory?"
1Co
15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
1Co
15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co
15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor
is not in vain in the Lord.
