29
 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30
 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31
 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32
 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.
33
 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34
 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak
this
to your shame.
35
 But some
man
will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36
Â
Thou
fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37
 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other
grain:
38
 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39
 All flesh
is
not the same flesh: but
there is
one
kind of
flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes,
and
another of birds.
40
Â
There are
also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial
is
one, and the
glory
of the terrestrial
is
another.
41
Â
There is
one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for
one
star differeth from
another
star in glory.
42
 So also
is
the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43
 it is sown in dishonour; 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45
 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam
was made
a quickening spirit.
46
 Howbeit that
was
not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47
 The first man
is
of the earth, earthy: the second man
is
the Lord from heaven.
48
 As
is
the earthy, such
are
they also that are earthy: and as
is
the heavenly, such
are
they also that are heavenly.
49
 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50
 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51
 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52
 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53
 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must
put on immortality.
54
 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55
 O death, where
is
thy sting? O grave, where
is
thy victory?
56
 The sting of death
is
sin; and the strength of sin
is
the law.
57
 But thanks
be
to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58
 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
To the chief Musician,
even
to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1
 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2
 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace,
even
from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3
 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
then
spake I with my tongue,
4
 L
ORD
, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it
is; that
I may know how frail I
am.
5
 Behold, thou hast made my days
as
an handbreadth; and mine age
is
as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
is
altogether vanity. Selah.
6
 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up
riches,
and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7
 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope
is
in thee.
8
 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9
 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst
it.
10
 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11
 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man
is
vanity. Selah.
12
 Hear my prayer, O L
ORD
, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I
am
a stranger with thee,
and
a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.
13
 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
30
Â
There is
no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the L
ORD
.
31
 The horse
is
prepared against the day of battle: but safety
is
of the L
ORD
.
1
 Then Job answered and said,
2
 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters
are
ye all.
3
 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
4
 I also could speak as ye
do:
if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
5
Â
But
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage
your grief.
6
 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and
though
I forbear, what am I eased?
7
 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8
 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles,
which
is a witness
against me:
and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9
 He teareth
me
in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10
 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11
 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12
 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken
me
by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13
 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14
 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
15
 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16
 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids
is
the shadow of death;
17
 Not for
any
injustice in mine hands: also my prayer
is
pure.
18
 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
19
 Also now, behold, my witness
is
in heaven, and my record
is
on high.
20
 My friends scorn me:
but
mine eye poureth out
tears
unto God.
21
 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man
pleadeth
for his neighbour!
22
 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way
whence
I shall not return.
17:
1
 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves
are ready
for me.
2
Â
Are there
not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3
 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who
is
he
that
will strike hands with me?
4
 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt
them.
5
 He that speaketh flattery to
his
friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6
 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7
 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members
are
as a shadow.
8
 Upright
men
shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9
 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10
 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find
one
wise
man
among you.
11
 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,
even
the thoughts of my heart.
12
 They change the night into day: the light
is
short because of darkness.
13
 If I wait, the grave
is
mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14
 I have said to corruption, Thou
art
my father: to the worm,
Thou art
my mother, and my sister.
15
 And where
is
now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16
 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when
our
rest together
is
in the dust.
18:
1
 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2
 How long
will it be ere
ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3
 Wherefore are we counted as beasts,
and
reputed vile in your sight?
4
 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5
 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6
 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7
 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8
 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9
 The gin shall take
him
by the heel,
and
the robber shall prevail against him.
10
 The snare
is
laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11
 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12
 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction
shall be
ready at his side.
13
 It shall devour the strength of his skin:
even
the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14
 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15
 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because
it is
none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16
 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17
 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18
 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19
 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20
 They that come after
him
shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21
 Surely such
are
the dwellings of the wicked, and this
is
the place
of him that
knoweth not God.
19:
1
 Then Job answered and said,
2
 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3
 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed
that
ye make yourselves strange to me.
4
 And be it indeed
that
I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5
 If indeed ye will magnify
yourselves
against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6
 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7
 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but
there is
no judgment.
8
 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9
 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown
from
my head.
10
 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11
 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as
one of
his enemies.
12
 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13
 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14
 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15
 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16
 I called my servant, and he gave
me
no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17
 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's
sake
of mine own body.
18
 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19
 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20
 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21
 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22
 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23
 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24
 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25
 For I know
that
my redeemer liveth, and
that
he shall stand at the latter
day
upon the earth:
26
 And
though
after my skin
worms
destroy this
body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27
 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;
though
my reins be consumed within me.
28
 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29
 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath
bringeth
the punishments of the sword, that ye may know
there is
a judgment.
