RESURRECTION


Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New 
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.

JOB 14:12  so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no 
more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

13  "If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger 
has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!

14  If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I 
will wait for my renewal to come.

15  You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature 
your hands have made.

19:25  I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand 
upon the earth.

26  And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;

27  I myself will see him with my own eyes--I, and not another. How my 
heart yearns within me!

PSA 16:9  Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also 
will rest secure,

10  because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your 
Holy One see decay.

17:15  And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will 
be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

49:15  But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me 
to himself. Selah

ISA 25:8  he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe 
away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people 
from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.

26:19  But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in 
the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the 
morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.

EZE 37:1  The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the 
Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of 
bones.

2  He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the 
floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.

3  He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign 
LORD, you alone know."

4  Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry 
bones, hear the word of the LORD!

5  This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath 
enter you, and you will come to life.

6  I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you 
with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you 
will know that I am the LORD.'"

7  So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was 
a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

8  I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, 
but there was no breath in them.

9  Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and 
say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, 
O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'"

10  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came 
to life and stood up on their feet--a vast army.

11  Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of 
Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut 
off.'

12  Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD 
says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from 
them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

13  Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your 
graves and bring you up from them.

14  I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in 
your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have 
done it, declares the LORD.'"

DAN 12:2  Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to 
everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

3  Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and 
those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

13  "As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the 
end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance."

HOS 13:14  "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem 
them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your 
destruction? "I will have no compassion,

MAT 22:23  That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, 
came to him with a question.

24  "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having 
children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.

25  Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, 
and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.

26  The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down 
to the seventh.

27  Finally, the woman died.

28  Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, 
since all of them were married to her?"

29  Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures 
or the power of God.

30  At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; 
they will be like the angels in heaven.

31  But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said 
to you,

32  'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He 
is not the God of the dead but of the living."

24:31  And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will 
gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the 
other.

25:1  "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took 
their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.

4  The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and 
fell asleep.

6  "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet 
him!'

7  "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

8  The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps 
are going out.'

9  "'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. 
Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'

10  "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom 
arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding 
banquet. And the door was shut.

11  "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for 
us!'

12  "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'

13  "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

27:52  The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died 
were raised to life.

53  They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went 
into the holy city and appeared to many people.

LUK 14:14  and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you 
will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

20:35  But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and 
in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in 
marriage,

36  and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are 
God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.

37  But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, 
for he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the 
God of Jacob.'

38  He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are 
alive."

JOH 5:21  For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even 
so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

25  I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead 
will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

28  "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in 
their graves will hear his voice

29  and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who 
have done evil will rise to be condemned.

6:39  And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of 
all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

40  For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes 
in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

44  "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I 
will raise him up at the last day.

54  Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will 
raise him up at the last day.

11:23  Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24  Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the 
last day."

25  Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes 
in me will live, even though he dies;

14:19  Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. 
Because I live, you also will live.

ACT 2:26  Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also 
will live in hope,

27  because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your 
Holy One see decay.

28  You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy 
in your presence.'

29  "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and 
was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.

30  But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he 
would place one of his descendants on his throne.

31  Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that 
he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.

4:1  The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came 
up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.

2  They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the 
people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

17:18  A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with 
him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others 
remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because 
Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

32  When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them 
sneered, but others said, "We want to hear you again on this subject."

23:6  Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others 
Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the 
son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection 
of the dead."

8  (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are 
neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)

24:14  However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower 
of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with 
the Law and that is written in the Prophets,

15  and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a 
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

26:6  And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our fathers 
that I am on trial today.

7  This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as 
they earnestly serve God day and night. O king, it is because of this hope 
that the Jews are accusing me.

8  Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

ROM 4:16  Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace 
and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are 
of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the 
father of us all.

17  As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our 
father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to 
the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

18  Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of 
many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring 
be."

19  Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as 
good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb 
was also dead.

20  Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but 
was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

21  being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

8:10  But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your 
spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11  And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in 
you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal 
bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

19  The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be 
revealed.

21  that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay 
and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22  We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of 
childbirth right up to the present time.

23  Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 
groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption 
of our bodies.

1CO 6:14  By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise 
us also.

15:12  But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how 
can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13  If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been 
raised.

14  And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is 
your faith.

15  More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for 
we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did 
not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.

16  For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.

17  And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still 
in your sins.

18  Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

19  If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more 
than all men.

20  But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of 
those who have fallen asleep.

21  For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes 
also through a man.

22  For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

23  But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, 
those who belong to him.

24  Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the 
Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

25  For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

26  The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

27  For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that 
"everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include 
God himself, who put everything under Christ.

28  When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him 
who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

29  Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized 
for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized 
for them?

30  And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

31  I die every day--I mean that, brothers--just as surely as I glory over 
you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32  If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have 
I gained? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow 
we die."

33  Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."

34  Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are 
some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame.

35  But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body 
will they come?"

36  How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37  When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, 
perhaps of wheat or of something else.

38  But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed 
he gives its own body.

39  All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have 
another, birds another and fish another.

40  There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the 
splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the 
earthly bodies is another.

41  The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars 
another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42  So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown 
is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

43  it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, 
it is raised in power;

44  it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a 
natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45  So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last 
Adam, a life-giving spirit.

46  The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the 
spiritual.

47  The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

48  As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is 
the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

49  And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we 
bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

50  I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the 
kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51  Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be 
changed--

52  in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the 
trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be 
changed.

53  For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the 
mortal with immortality.

54  When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the 
mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 
"Death has been swallowed up in victory."

55  "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"

56  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57  But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus 
Christ.

2CO 4:14  because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the 
dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence.

5:1  Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have 
a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

2  Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

3  because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

4  For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do 
not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so 
that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5  Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the 
Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

PHI 3:10  I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the 
fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11  and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

21  who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his 
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his 
glorious body.

1TH 4:14  We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that 
God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

2TI 1:10  but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, 
Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality 
to light through the gospel.

2:18  who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection 
has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.

HEB 6:2  instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the 
resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

11:19  Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively 
speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.

35  Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were 
tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better 
resurrection.

REV 1:18  I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever 
and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

20:4  I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority 
to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of 
their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not 
worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their 
foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a 
thousand years.

5  (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were 
ended.) This is the first resurrection.

6  Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The 
second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of 
Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

13  The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up 
the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he 
had done.
