CAPITAL I - Sesame Street
I assure you by the regard I have in you for your fellowship and union with Moshiach Yeshua that I die daily- every day I face death, and die to self
What do I gain if merely from the human point of view, I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised at all , let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships, communions & associations corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.
Awake from your drunken stupor and return to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God , you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God's presence and all true knowledge of Him. I say this to your shame.
But someone will say, How can the dead be raised? With what kind of body will they come forth?
You foolish man! Every time you plant seed, you sow something that does not come to life, germinating, springing up, and growing unless it dies first.
Nor is the seed you sow then the body which it is going to have later, but it is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or some of the rest of the grains.
But God gives to it the body that He plans and sees fit, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
For all flesh is not the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fish.
There are heavenly bodies (sun, moon, and stars) and there are earthly bodies (men, animals, and plants), but the beauty and glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, while the beauty and glory of earthly bodies is a different kind.
The sun is glorious in one way, the moon is glorious in another way, and the stars are glorious in their own distinctive way; for one star differs from and surpasses another in its beauty and brilliance.
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable and decays, but the body that is resurrected is imperishable (immune to decay, immortal). )
It is sown in dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in strength and endued with power.
It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.
~ 1 Corinthians 15 31:44
The Beatles: I Me Mine
For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die;
but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
~ Romans 8:13
