• John 20:27-29

  "then he said to him "Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe."

• 1 Corinthians 15:3-7

  "Christ dies for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died"
• 1 Corinthians 15:12-15

  "Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection from the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain."
• 1 Corinthians 15:20-23

  "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being, for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ"
• 1 Corinthians 15:22-28

  "For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet". But when it says "all things are put in subjection" it is plain that this does not include the one who put all things in subjection under him. when all things are subjected to hi, then the son himself will also be subjected to the one who put all things in subjection under him, so that God may be all in all"
• 1 Corinthians 15:32-34

  ""Let us eat and drink

  for tomorrow we die"

  Do not be deceived:

  "bad company ruins good morals"

  come to a sober and right mind, and sin no more, for some people have no knowledge of God, I say this to your shame"
• 1 Corinthians 15:35-40

  "But someone will ask "how are the dead raised? with what kind of body do they come?" Fool! what you sow does not come to life unless it dies. and as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be, but a bare seed, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. Not all flesh is alike but there is one flesh for human beings, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish."
• 1 Corinthians 15:42-45

  "What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable, it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory, it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power, it is sown in a physical body, it is raised in a spiritual body. if there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body."
• 1 Corinthians 15:49

  "just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven"
• 1 Corinthians 15:50

  "What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable"
• 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

  ""Death has been swallowed up in victory"

  "Where O death is your victory?

  Where, O death is your sting?"

  the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

  Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, Immovable, always excelling in the work of the lord, because you know that in the lord your labour is not in vain."
• Philippians 1:21-24

  "For to me, living is Christ and dying is grain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labour for me; and I do not know which I prefer. I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better, But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you."
• Matthew 10:28

  "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
