Notes that are not verse specific
The offerer had to bring the offering to the door of the Tabernacle and, in the case of an animal, lay his hand upon its head, and then kill the animal himself. This clearly taught that he should identify himself with the offering, and thus acknowledge that he deserved the fate of the slain animal. The acknowledgement of sin and its consequences was then, as now, the essential prerequisite for forgiveness.

The "Peace Offering", like the other sacrifices, was very carefully prescribed by God. Nobody could bring any old thing. If you gave to God it had to be just as God directed. I'm sure there's a lesson in that
somewhere for us, too.

Lev 7 The essential meaning of the Peace Offering was that of a sacrificial meal of fellowship with God. It constitutes one of the outstanding prototypes of the remembrance of Christ in the Breaking of Bread.

2. In the place <4725> where they kill <7819>(8799) the burnt offering <5930> shall they kill <7819>(8799) the trespass offering <817>: and the blood <1818> thereof shall he sprinkle <2236>(8799) round about <5439> upon the altar <4196>.
3. And he shall offer <7126>(8686) of it all the fat <2459> thereof; the rump <451>, and the fat <2459> that covereth <3680>(8764) the inwards <7130>,
4. And the two <8147> kidneys <3629>, and the fat <2459> that is on them, which is by the flanks <3689>, and the caul <3508> that is above the liver <3516>, with the kidneys <3629>, it shall he take away <5493>(8686):
5. And the priest <3548> shall burn <6999>(8689) them upon the altar <4196> for an offering made by fire <801> unto the LORD <3068>: it is a trespass offering <817>.

7. As the sin offering <2403> is, so is the trespass offering <817>: there is one <259> law <8451> for them: the priest <3548> that maketh atonement <3722>(8762) therewith shall have it.
8. And the priest <3548> that offereth <7126>(8688) any man's <376> burnt offering <5930>, even the priest <3548> shall have to himself the skin <5785> of the burnt offering <5930> which he hath offered <7126>(8689).

10. And every meat offering <4503>, mingled <1101>(8803) with oil <8081>, and dry <2720>, shall all the sons <1121> of Aaron <175> have, one <376> as much as another <251>.
11. And this is the law <8451> of the sacrifice <2077> of peace offerings <8002>, which he shall offer <7126>(8686) unto the LORD <3068>.
12. If he offer <7126>(8686) it for a thanksgiving <8426>, then he shall offer <7126>(8689) with the sacrifice <2077> of thanksgiving <8426> unleavened <4682> cakes <2471> mingled <1101>(8803) with oil <8081>, and unleavened <4682> wafers <7550> anointed <4886>(8803) with oil <8081>, and cakes <2471> mingled <1101>(8803) with oil <8081>, of fine flour <5560>, fried <7246>(8716).
13. Besides the cakes <2471>, he shall offer <7126>(8686) for his offering <7133> leavened <2557> bread <3899> with the sacrifice <2077> of thanksgiving <8426> of his peace offerings <8002>.
14. And of it he shall offer <7126>(8689) one <259> out of the whole oblation <7133> for an heave offering <8641> unto the LORD <3068>, and it shall be the priest's <3548> that sprinkleth <2236>(8802) the blood <1818> of the peace offerings <8002>.
15. And the flesh <1320> of the sacrifice <2077> of his peace offerings <8002> for thanksgiving <8426> shall be eaten <398>(8735) the same day <3117> that it is offered <7133>; he shall not leave <3240>(8686) any of it until the morning <1242>.
16. But if the sacrifice <2077> of his offering <7133> be a vow <5088>, or a voluntary offering <5071>, it shall be eaten <398>(8735) the same day <3117> that he offereth <7126>(8687) his sacrifice <2077>: and on the morrow <4283> also the remainder <3498>(8737) of it shall be eaten <398>(8735):
17. But the remainder <3498>(8737) of the flesh <1320> of the sacrifice <2077> on the third <7992> day <3117> shall be burnt <8313>(8735) with fire <784>.
18. And if any of the flesh <1320> of the sacrifice <2077> of his peace offerings <8002> be eaten <398>(8735) at all <398>(8736) on the third <7992> day <3117>, it shall not be accepted <7521>(8735), neither shall it be imputed <2803>(8735) unto him that offereth <7126>(8688) it: it shall be an abomination <6292>, and the soul <5315> that eateth <398>(8802) of it shall bear <5375>(8799) his iniquity <5771>.
19. And the flesh <1320> that toucheth <5060>(8799) any unclean <2931> thing shall not be eaten <398>(8735); it shall be burnt <8313>(8735) with fire <784>: and as for the flesh <1320>, all that be clean <2889> shall eat <398>(8799) thereof.
20. But the soul <5315> that eateth <398>(8799) of the flesh <1320> of the sacrifice <2077> of peace offerings <8002>, that pertain unto the LORD <3068>, having his uncleanness <2932> upon him, even that soul <5315> shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from his people <5971>.
21. Moreover the soul <5315> that shall touch <5060>(8799) any unclean <2932> thing, as the uncleanness <2932> of man <120>, or any unclean <2931> beast <929>, or any abominable <8263> unclean <2931> thing, and eat <398>(8804) of the flesh <1320> of the sacrifice <2077> of peace offerings <8002>, which pertain unto the LORD <3068>, even that soul <5315> shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from his people <5971>.
22. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
23. Speak <1696>(8761) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), Ye shall eat <398>(8799) no manner of fat <2459>, of ox <7794>, or of sheep <3775>, or of goat <5795>.
24. And the fat <2459> of the beast that dieth of itself <5038>, and the fat <2459> of that which is torn with beasts <2966>, may be used <6213>(8735) in any other use <4399>: but ye shall in no wise <398>(8800) eat <398>(8799) of it.
25. For whosoever eateth <398>(8802) the fat <2459> of the beast <929>, of which men offer <7126>(8686) an offering made by fire <801> unto the LORD <3068>, even the soul <5315> that eateth <398>(8802) it shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from his people <5971>.
26. Moreover ye shall eat <398>(8799) no manner of blood <1818>, whether it be of fowl <5775> or of beast <929>, in any of your dwellings <4186>.
27. Whatsoever soul <5315> it be that eateth <398>(8799) any manner <3605> of blood <1818>, even that soul <5315> shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from his people <5971>.
28. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
29. Speak <1696>(8761) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), He that offereth <7126>(8688) the sacrifice <2077> of his peace offerings <8002> unto the LORD <3068> shall bring <935>(8686) his oblation <7133> unto the LORD <3068> of the sacrifice <2077> of his peace offerings <8002>.
30. His own hands <3027> shall bring <935>(8686) the offerings <801> <0> of the LORD <3068> made by fire <801>, the fat <2459> with the breast <2373>, it shall he bring <935>(8686), that the breast <2373> may be waved <5130>(8687) for a wave offering <8573> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.
31. And the priest <3548> shall burn <6999>(8689) the fat <2459> upon the altar <4196>: but the breast <2373> shall be Aaron's <175> and his sons <1121>'.
32. And the right <3225> shoulder <7785> shall ye give <5414>(8799) unto the priest <3548> for an heave offering <8641> of the sacrifices <2077> of your peace offerings <8002>.
33. He among the sons <1121> of Aaron <175>, that offereth <7126>(8688) the blood <1818> of the peace offerings <8002>, and the fat <2459>, shall have the right <3225> shoulder <7785> for his part <4490>.
34. For the wave <8573> breast <2373> and the heave <8641> shoulder <7785> have I taken <3947>(8804) of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> from off the sacrifices <2077> of their peace offerings <8002>, and have given <5414>(8799) them unto Aaron <175> the priest <3548> and unto his sons <1121> by a statute <2706> for ever <5769> from among the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
35. This is the portion of the anointing <4888> of Aaron <175>, and of the anointing <4888> of his sons <1121>, out of the offerings <801> <0> of the LORD <3068> made by fire <801>, in the day <3117> when he presented <7126>(8689) them to minister unto the LORD <3068> in the priest's office <3547>(8763);
36. Which the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) to be given <5414>(8800) them of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, in the day <3117> that he anointed <4886>(8800) them, by a statute <2708> for ever <5769> throughout their generations <1755>.
37. This is the law <8451> of the burnt offering <5930>, of the meat offering <4503>, and of the sin offering <2403>, and of the trespass offering <817>, and of the consecrations <4394>, and of the sacrifice <2077> of the peace offerings <8002>;
38. Which the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872> in mount <2022> Sinai <5514>, in the day <3117> that he commanded <6680>(8763) the children <1121> of Israel <3478> to offer <7126>(8687) their oblations <7133> unto the LORD <3068>, in the wilderness <4057> of Sinai <5514>.
Notes that are not verse specific
continued from yesterday ...1 Chronicles 16 records David bringing the ark to Zion. The three Psalms were spoken by David at that time. They were then incorporated into the book of Psalms as three separate Psalms.
Notice that it is the historical parts of Psalms 105 and 106 which are left out of the record in 1 Chronicles.
The reason being, the historical account records the joy of the time of the bringing the ark to Zion. The Psalms record the 'journey' that the people took in arriving at this point in their history.

LOOKING BACK
Year Twenty-five in the wilderness. Day one hundred and two. Wake up. Collect manna. Cook manna. The cloud lifts. Pack up everything. Put out the fire. Line up in our family group and follow the cloud. Stop walking, Set up the tent. Light a fire. Cook more manna. Go to bed. Start again tomorrow.
Why do we have to travel from place to place all the time? When are we going to get to the promised land? Will we ever get to the promised land? I'm sick of manna. I want to feel the rain. I want to run in bare feet across the grass, but there is only burning sand in this wilderness. Everyone around me is dying one by one. Is God really interested? Is He there at all? Everything seems just the same as yesterday... and the day before... will it ever by any different?
We could have the same thoughts about our lives. School, work, family, television, bed and on and on it goes. Is God really involved?
Psalm 106 encourages us to look back and see how God has dealt with us in the past to bring us to where we are now. The psalmist saw the deliverance from Egypt, the miracles in the wilderness, and realised that God was there. When we look back over our lives, we should be able to see God's hand in the circumstances of our lives too. Encourage yourself today by viewing God's hand in your life that has brought you to this point.

106:16 When men in the camp were jealous ... the earth opened and swallowed up
Psalm 106 begins and ends with praise and thankfulness (vv 1,48). But envy is corrosive (v16). It destroys relationships and also destroys the person harbouring jealousy. It is the opposite of contentment and it is doubtful that a jealous, discontented person can be a believer who is motivated by praise and thankfulness to God.
Avoid jealousy. Look for the things in your life for which God ought to be praised and thanked, even in the midst of trial. Blot out in your mind anything else that threatens that approach to God.

1. Praise <1984>(8761) ye the LORD <3050>. O give thanks <3034>(8685) unto the LORD <3068>; for he is good <2896>: for his mercy <2617> endureth for ever <5769>.
2. Who can utter <4448>(8762) the mighty acts <1369> of the LORD <3068>? who can shew forth <8085>(8686) all his praise <8416>?
3. Blessed <835> are they that keep <8104>(8802) judgment <4941>, and he that doeth <6213>(8802) righteousness <6666> at all times <6256>.
4. Remember <2142>(8798) me, O LORD <3068>, with the favour <7522> that thou bearest unto thy people <5971>: O visit <6485>(8798) me with thy salvation <3444>;
5. That I may see <7200>(8800) the good <2896> of thy chosen <972>, that I may rejoice <8055>(8800) in the gladness <8057> of thy nation <1471>, that I may glory <1984>(8692) with thine inheritance <5159>.
6. We have sinned <2398>(8804) with our fathers <1>, we have committed iniquity <5753>(8689), we have done wickedly <7561>(8689).
7. Our fathers <1> understood <7919>(8689) not thy wonders <6381>(8737) in Egypt <4714>; they remembered <2142>(8804) not the multitude <7230> of thy mercies <2617>; but provoked <4784>(8686) him at the sea <3220>, even at the Red <5488> sea <3220>.
8. Nevertheless he saved <3467>(8686) them for his name's <8034> sake, that he might make his mighty power <1369> to be known <3045>(8687).
9. He rebuked <1605>(8799) the Red <5488> sea <3220> also, and it was dried up <2717>(8799): so he led <3212>(8686) them through the depths <8415>, as through the wilderness <4057>.
10. And he saved <3467>(8686) them from the hand <3027> of him that hated <8130>(8802) them, and redeemed <1350>(8799) them from the hand <3027> of the enemy <341>(8802).
11. And the waters <4325> covered <3680>(8762) their enemies <6862>: there was not one <259> of them left <3498>(8738).
12. Then believed <539>(8686) they his words <1697>; they sang <7891>(8799) his praise <8416>.
13. They soon <4116>(8765) forgat <7911>(8804) his works <4639>; they waited <2442>(8765) not for his counsel <6098>:
14. But lusted <183>(8691) exceedingly <8378> in the wilderness <4057>, and tempted <5254>(8762) God <410> in the desert <3452>.
15. And he gave <5414>(8799) them their request <7596>; but sent <7971>(8762) leanness <7332> into their soul <5315>.
16. They envied <7065>(8762) Moses <4872> also in the camp <4264>, and Aaron <175> the saint <6918> of the LORD <3068>.
17. The earth <776> opened <6605>(8799) and swallowed up <1104>(8799) Dathan <1885>, and covered <3680>(8762) the company <5712> of Abiram <48>.
18. And a fire <784> was kindled <1197>(8799) in their company <5712>; the flame <3852> burned up <3857>(8762) the wicked <7563>.
19. They made <6213>(8799) a calf <5695> in Horeb <2722>, and worshipped <7812>(8691) the molten image <4541>.
20. Thus they changed <4171>(8686) their glory <3519> into the similitude <8403> of an ox <7794> that eateth <398>(8802) grass <6212>.
21. They forgat <7911>(8804) God <410> their saviour <3467>(8688), which had done <6213>(8802) great things <1419> in Egypt <4714>;
22. Wondrous works <6381>(8737) in the land <776> of Ham <2526>, and terrible things <3372>(8737) by the Red <5488> sea <3220>.
23. Therefore he said <559>(8799) that he would destroy <8045>(8687) them, had not <3884> Moses <4872> his chosen <972> stood <5975>(8804) before <6440> him in the breach <6556>, to turn away <7725>(8687) his wrath <2534>, lest he should destroy <7843>(8687) them.
24. Yea, they despised <3988>(8799) the pleasant <2532> land <776>, they believed <539>(8689) not his word <1697>:
25. But murmured <7279>(8735) in their tents <168>, and hearkened <8085>(8804) not unto the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>.
26. Therefore he lifted up <5375>(8799) his hand <3027> against them, to overthrow <5307>(8687) them in the wilderness <4057>:
27. To overthrow <5307>(8687) their seed <2233> also among the nations <1471>, and to scatter <2219>(8763) them in the lands <776>.
28. They joined <6775>(8735) themselves also unto Baalpeor <1187>, and ate <398>(8799) the sacrifices <2077> of the dead <4191>(8801).
29. Thus they provoked him to anger <3707>(8686) with their inventions <4611>: and the plague <4046> brake in <6555>(8799) upon them.
30. Then stood up <5975>(8799) Phinehas <6372>, and executed judgment <6419>(8762): and so the plague <4046> was stayed <6113>(8735).
31. And that was counted <2803>(8735) unto him for righteousness <6666> unto all <1755> generations <1755> for <5704> evermore <5769>.
32. They angered <7107>(8686) him also at the waters <4325> of strife <4808>(8677) <4809>, so that it went ill <3415>(8799) with Moses <4872> for their sakes:
33. Because they provoked <4784>(8689) his spirit <7307>, so that he spake unadvisedly <981>(8762) with his lips <8193>.
34. They did not destroy <8045>(8689) the nations <5971>, concerning whom the LORD <3068> commanded <559>(8804) them:
35. But were mingled <6148>(8691) among the heathen <1471>, and learned <3925>(8799) their works <4639>.
36. And they served <5647>(8799) their idols <6091>: which were a snare <4170> unto them.
37. Yea, they sacrificed <2076>(8799) their sons <1121> and their daughters <1323> unto devils <7700>,
38. And shed <8210>(8799) innocent <5355> blood <1818>, even the blood <1818> of their sons <1121> and of their daughters <1323>, whom they sacrificed <2076>(8765) unto the idols <6091> of Canaan <3667>: and the land <776> was polluted <2610>(8799) with blood <1818>.
39. Thus were they defiled <2930>(8799) with their own works <4639>, and went a whoring <2181>(8799) with their own inventions <4611>.
40. Therefore was the wrath <639> of the LORD <3068> kindled <2734>(8799) against his people <5971>, insomuch that he abhorred <8581>(8762) his own inheritance <5159>.
41. And he gave <5414>(8799) them into the hand <3027> of the heathen <1471>; and they that hated <8130>(8802) them ruled <4910>(8799) over them.
42. Their enemies <341>(8802) also oppressed <3905>(8799) them, and they were brought into subjection <3665>(8735) under their hand <3027>.
43. Many <7227> times <6471> did he deliver <5337>(8686) them; but they provoked <4784>(8686) him with their counsel <6098>, and were brought low <4355>(8799) for their iniquity <5771>.
44. Nevertheless he regarded <7200>(8799) their affliction <6862>, when he heard <8085>(8800) their cry <7440>:
45. And he remembered <2142>(8799) for them his covenant <1285>, and repented <5162>(8735) according to the multitude <7230> of his mercies <2617>.
46. He made <5414>(8799) them also to be pitied <7356> of <6440> all those that carried them captives <7617>(8802).
47. Save <3467>(8685) us, O LORD <3068> our God <430>, and gather <6908>(8761) us from among the heathen <1471>, to give thanks <3034>(8687) unto thy holy <6944> name <8034>, and to triumph <7623>(8692) in thy praise <8416>.
48. Blessed <1288>(8803) be the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478> from everlasting <5769> to everlasting <5769>: and let all the people <5971> say <559>(8804), Amen <543>. Praise <1984>(8761) ye the LORD <3050>.
Notes that are not verse specific
What a wonderful comfort this chapter is to each one of us, and more especially when we realize that God is not willing that any should perish. God will only forsake us if we forsake Him, therefore while we maintain the Truth, and seek first His kingdom and righteousness, we can be assured that we shall attain unto eternal life, through His Grace.

15:29 What do people mean by being baptised on behalf of the dead?
This is a puzzling verse. It could mean:
1. Baptism unites the believer with death. It has no meaning without the realisation that death is our destiny. But it also has no meaning, or efficacy, if it doesn't lead to life beyond death, that is, resurrection. Acknowledging that we are all dead, and through baptism, uniting ourselves to the ranks of those who see baptism as the way out of death, is futile if resurrection is not a reality.
2. There may have been a public veneration of exemplary believers who have now died. The new convert may have been so impacted by the great foundational work of the now-dead person who led them to saving faith, that they see themselves as being baptised as a result of the influence of the now-dead believer. But if the dead are not raised the exemplary and inspirational work of these influential believers is futile.

1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I declare <1107>(5719) unto you <5213> the gospel <2098> which <3739> I preached <2097>(5668) unto you <5213>, which also <2532> ye have received <3880>(5627), and <2532> wherein <1722> <3739> ye stand <2476>(5758);
2. By <1223> which <3739> also <2532> ye are saved <4982>(5743), if <1487> ye keep <2722>(5719) in memory what <5101> <3056> I preached <2097>(5668) unto you <5213>, unless <1622> <1508> ye have believed <4100>(5656) in vain <1500>.
3. For <1063> I delivered <3860>(5656) unto you <5213> first of all <1722> <4413> that which <3739> I <3880> <0> also <2532> received <3880>(5627), how <3754> that Christ <5547> died <599>(5627) for <5228> our <2257> sins <266> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>;
4. And that <3754> he was buried <2290>(5648), and <2532> that <3754> he rose again <1453>(5769) the third <5154> day <2250> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>:
5. And <2532> that <3754> he was seen <3700>(5681) of Cephas <2786>, then <1534> of the twelve <1427>:
6. After that <1899>, he was seen <3700>(5681) of above <1883> five hundred <4001> brethren <80> at once <2178>; of <1537> whom <3739> the greater part <4119> remain <3306>(5719) unto <2193> this present <737>, but <1161> some <5100> <2532> are fallen asleep <2837>(5681).
7. After that <1899>, he was seen <3700>(5681) of James <2385>; then <1534> of all <3956> the apostles <652>.
8. And <1161> last <2078> of all <3956> he was seen <3700>(5681) of me also <2504>, as <5619> of one born out of due time <1626>.
9. For <1063> I <1473> am <1510>(5748) the least <1646> of the apostles <652>, that am <1510>(5748) not <3756> meet <2425> to be called <2564>(5745) an apostle <652>, because <1360> I persecuted <1377>(5656) the church <1577> of God <2316>.
10. But <1161> by the grace <5485> of God <2316> I am <1510>(5748) what <3739> I am <1510>(5748): and <2532> his <846> grace <5485> which was bestowed upon <1519> me <1691> was <1096>(5675) not <3756> in vain <2756>; but <235> I laboured <2872>(5656) more abundantly <4054> than they all <3956>: yet <1161> not <3756> I <1473>, but <235> the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> was with <4862> me <1698>.
11. Therefore <3767> whether <1535> it were I <1473> or <1535> they <1565>, so <3779> we preach <2784>(5719), and <2532> so <3779> ye believed <4100>(5656).
12. Now <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be preached <2784>(5743) that <3754> he rose <1453>(5769) from <1537> the dead <3498>, how <4459> say <3004>(5719) some <5100> among <1722> you <5213> that <3754> there is <2076>(5748) no <3756> resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>?
13. But <1161> if <1487> there be <2076>(5748) no <3756> resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, then <3761> <0> is <1453> <0> Christ <5547> not <3761> risen <1453>(5769):
14. And <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be <1453> <0> not <3756> risen <1453>(5769), then <686> is our <2257> preaching <2782> vain <2756>, and <2532> your <5216> faith <4102> is <1161> also <2532> vain <2756>.
15. Yea <1161>, and <2532> we are found <2147>(5743) false witnesses <5575> of God <2316>; because <3754> we have testified <3140>(5656) of <2596> God <2316> that <3754> he raised up <1453>(5656) Christ <5547>: whom <3739> he raised <1453> <0> not <3756> up <1453>(5656), if <1512> so be <686> that the dead <3498> rise <1453>(5743) not <3756>.
16. For <1063> if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453>(5743) not <3756>, then is <1453> <0> not <3761> Christ <5547> raised <1453>(5769):
17. And <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be <1453> <0> not <3756> raised <1453>(5769), your <5216> faith <4102> is vain <3152>; ye are <2075>(5748) yet <2089> in <1722> your <5216> sins <266>.
18. Then <686> they also <2532> which are fallen asleep <2837>(5685) in <1722> Christ <5547> are perished <622>(5639).
19. If <1487> in <1722> this <5026> life <2222> only <3440> we have hope <1679>(5761) <2070>(5748) in <1722> Christ <5547>, we are <2070>(5748) of all <3956> men <444> most miserable <1652>.
20. But <1161> now <3570> is <1453> <0> Christ <5547> risen <1453>(5769) from <1537> the dead <3498>, and become <1096>(5633) the firstfruits <536> of them that slept <2837>(5772).
21. For <1063> since <1894> by <1223> man <444> came death <2288>, by <1223> man <444> came also <2532> the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>.
22. For <1063> as <5618> in <1722> Adam <76> all <3956> die <599>(5719), even <2532> so <3779> in <1722> Christ <5547> shall <2227> <0> all <3956> be made alive <2227>(5701).
23. But <1161> every man <1538> in <1722> his own <2398> order <5001>: Christ <5547> the firstfruits <536>; afterward <1899> they that are <3588> Christ's <5547> at <1722> his <846> coming <3952>.
24. Then <1534> cometh the end <5056>, when <3752> he shall have delivered up <3860>(5632) the kingdom <932> to God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962>; when <3752> he shall have put down <2673>(5661) all <3956> rule <746> and <2532> all <3956> authority <1849> and <2532> power <1411>.
25. For <1063> he <846> must <1163>(5748) reign <936>(5721), till <891> he hath put <302> <5087>(5632) all <3956> enemies <2190> under <5259> his <848> feet <4228>.
26. The last <2078> enemy <2190> that shall be destroyed <2673>(5743) is death <2288>.
27. For <1063> he hath put <5293>(5656) all things <3956> under <5259> his <846> feet <4228>. But <1161> when <3752> he saith <2036>(5632) <3754> all things <3956> are put under <5293>(5769) him, it is manifest <1212> that <3754> he is excepted <1622>, which did put <5293> <0> all things <3956> under <5293>(5660) him <846>.
28. And <1161> when <3752> all things <3956> shall be subdued <5293>(5652) unto him <846>, then <5119> shall <5293> <0> the Son <5207> also <2532> himself <846> be subject <5293>(5691) unto him that put <5293> <0> all things <3956> under <5293>(5660) him <846>, that <2443> God <2316> may be <5600>(5753) all <3956> in <1722> all <3956>.
29. Else <1893> what <5101> shall they do <4160>(5692) which are baptized <907>(5746) for <5228> the dead <3498>, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453>(5743) not <3756> at all <3654>? why <5101> <2532> are they then baptized <907>(5743) for <5228> the dead <3498>?
30. And <2532> why <5101> stand <2793> <0> we <2249> in jeopardy <2793>(5719) every <3956> hour <5610>?
31. I protest by <3513> your <5212> rejoicing <2251> <2746> which <3739> I have <2192>(5719) in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our <2257> Lord <2962>, I die <599>(5719) daily <2596> <2250>.
32. If <1487> after the manner <2596> of men <444> I have fought with beasts <2341>(5656) at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, what <5101> advantageth it <3786> me <3427>, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453>(5743) not <3756>? let us eat <5315>(5632) and <2532> drink <4095>(5632); for <1063> to morrow <839> we die <599>(5719).
33. Be <4105> <0> not <3361> deceived <4105>(5744): evil <2556> communications <3657> corrupt <5351>(5719) good <5543> manners <2239>.
34. Awake <1594>(5657) to righteousness <1346>, and <2532> sin <264>(5719)(5720) not <3361>; for <1063> some <5100> have <2192>(5719) not the knowledge <56> of God <2316>: I speak <3004>(5719) this to <4314> your <5213> shame <1791>.
35. But <235> some <5100> man will say <2046>(5692), How <4459> are <1453> <0> the dead <3498> raised up <1453>(5743)? and <1161> with what <4169> body <4983> do they come <2064>(5736)?
36. Thou fool <878>, that which <3739> thou <4771> sowest <4687>(5719) is <2227> <0> not <3756> quickened <2227>(5743), except <3362> it die <599>(5632):
37. And <2532> that which <3739> thou sowest <4687>(5719), thou sowest <4687>(5719) not <3756> that body <4983> that shall be <1096>(5697), but <235> bare <1131> grain <2848>, it may chance <1487> <5177>(5630) of wheat <4621>, or <2228> of some <5100> other <3062> grain:
38. But <1161> God <2316> giveth <1325>(5719) it <846> a body <4983> as <2531> it hath pleased him <2309>(5656), and <2532> to every <1538> seed <4690> his own <2398> body <4983>.
39. All <3956> flesh <4561> is not <3756> the same <846> flesh <4561>: but <235> <3303> there is one <243> kind of flesh <4561> of men <444>, <1161> another <243> flesh <4561> of beasts <2934>, <1161> another <243> of fishes <2486>, and <1161> another <243> of birds <4421>.
40. There are also <2532> celestial <2032> bodies <4983>, and <2532> bodies <4983> terrestrial <1919>: but <235> <3303> the glory <1391> of the celestial <2032> is one <2087>, and <1161> the glory of the terrestrial <1919> is another <2087>.
41. There is one <243> glory <1391> of the sun <2246>, and <2532> another <243> glory <1391> of the moon <4582>, and <2532> another <243> glory <1391> of the stars <792>: for <1063> one star <792> differeth from <1308>(5719) another star <792> in <1722> glory <1391>.
42. So <3779> also <2532> is the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>. It is sown <4687>(5743) in <1722> corruption <5356>; it is raised <1453>(5743) in <1722> incorruption <861>:
43. It is sown <4687>(5743) in <1722> dishonour <819>; it is raised <1453>(5743) in <1722> glory <1391>: it is sown <4687>(5743) in <1722> weakness <769>; it is raised <1453>(5743) in <1722> power <1411>:
44. It is sown <4687>(5743) a natural <5591> body <4983>; it is raised <1453>(5743) a spiritual <4152> body <4983>. There is <2076>(5748) a natural <5591> body <4983>, and <2532> there is <2076>(5748) a spiritual <4152> body <4983>.
45. And <2532> so <3779> it is written <1125>(5769), The first <4413> man <444> Adam <76> was made <1096>(5633) <1519> a living <2198>(5723) soul <5590>; the last <2078> Adam <76> was made <1519> a quickening <2227>(5723) spirit <4151>.
46. Howbeit <235> that was not <3756> first <4412> which is spiritual <4152>, but <235> that which is natural <5591>; and afterward <1899> that which is spiritual <4152>.
47. The first <4413> man <444> is of <1537> the earth <1093>, earthy <5517>: the second <1208> man <444> is the Lord <2962> from <1537> heaven <3772>.
48. As <3634> is the earthy <5517>, such <5108> are they also <2532> that are earthy <5517>: and <2532> as is <3634> the heavenly <2032>, such <5108> are they <2032> <0> also <2532> that are heavenly <2032>.
49. And <2532> as <2531> we have borne <5409>(5656) the image <1504> of the earthy <5517>, we shall <5409> <0> also <2532> bear <5409>(5692) the image <1504> of the heavenly <2032>.
50. Now <1161> this <5124> I say <5346>(5748), brethren <80>, that <3754> flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) inherit <2816>(5658) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>; neither <3761> doth <2816> <0> corruption <5356> inherit <2816>(5719) incorruption <861>.
51. Behold <2400>(5628), I shew <3004>(5719) you <5213> a mystery <3466>; We shall <2837> <0> not <3756> all <3956> <3303> sleep <2837>(5701), but <1161> we shall <236> <0> all <3956> be changed <236>(5691),
52. In <1722> a moment <823>, in <1722> the twinkling <4493> of an eye <3788>, at <1722> the last <2078> trump <4536>: for <1063> the trumpet shall sound <4537>(5692), and <2532> the dead <3498> shall be raised <1453>(5701) incorruptible <862>, and <2532> we <2249> shall be changed <236>(5691).
53. For <1063> this <5124> corruptible <5349> must <1163>(5748) put on <1746>(5670) incorruption <861>, and <2532> this <5124> mortal <2349> must put on <1746>(5670) immortality <110>.
54. So <1161> when <3752> this <5124> corruptible <5349> shall have put on <1746>(5672) incorruption <861>, and <2532> this <5124> mortal <2349> shall have put on <1746>(5672) immortality <110>, then <5119> shall be brought to pass <1096>(5695) the saying <3056> that is written <1125>(5772), Death <2288> is swallowed up <2666>(5681) in <1519> victory <3534>.
55. O death <2288>, where <4226> is thy <4675> sting <2759>? O grave <86>, where <4226> is thy <4675> victory <3534>?
56. <1161> The sting <2759> of death <2288> is sin <266>; and <1161> the strength <1411> of sin <266> is the law <3551>.
57. But <1161> thanks <5485> be to God <2316>, which <3588> giveth <1325>(5723) us <2254> the victory <3534> through <1223> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
58. Therefore <5620>, my <3450> beloved <27> brethren <80>, be ye <1096>(5737) stedfast <1476>, unmoveable <277>, always <3842> abounding <4052>(5723) in <1722> the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, forasmuch as ye know <1492>(5761) that <3754> your <5216> labour <2873> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> in vain <2756> in <1722> the Lord <2962>.
