1 Corinthians 15: 50-58….Mystery and Victory
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet willContinue reading “1 Corinthians 15: 50-58….Mystery and Victory”
1 Corinthians 15: 35-49….The Resurrection Body
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

1 Corinthians 15: 17-28….A precis of what is to come!

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: thatContinue reading “1 Corinthians 15:1-8….The gospel in a ‘nut-shell’”
1 Corinthians 9: 17-27….As fit as I can be!
For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right inContinue reading “1 Corinthians 9: 17-27….As fit as I can be!”
1 Corinthians 9: 9-16….Woe to me!
For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh inContinue reading “1 Corinthians 9: 9-16….Woe to me!”
As I read it!
