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.
