16 And the Word of YAHUVEH was to me, saying, 17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt on their land, they even defiled
it by their ways and by their doings. As the defilement of woman's impurity,
their way was before Me. 18 So I poured out My fury on them, because of the blood that they had poured
out on the land, and for their idols by which they defiled it. 19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were sown among all the
earth; I judged them by their way and by their doings. 20 And when they entered into the nations, there where they went, they even
profaned My holy name, by saying to them, These are the people of YAHUVEH, and
they are gone out of His land. 21 But I had pity for My holy name which the house of Israel had profaned among
the nations, there where they went. 22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, So says Adonai YAHUVEH: I do not do
this for your sake, O house of Israel, but only for My holy name which you
profaned among the nations, there where you went. 23 And I will sanctify My great name which was profaned among the nations, which
you profaned among them. And the nations shall know that I am YAHUVEH, declares
Adonai YAHUVEH, when I am sanctified in you, in their eyes. 24 For I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands and
bring you into your land. . 25 Then I will sprinkle pure waters on you, and you
shall be purified. I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your
idols. . 26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit
within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will
give to you a heart of flesh. (Jer 31:31-34) 27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and
you shall keep My judgments and do them. (Joel 2:28) 28 And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be
a people to Me, and I will be Elohim to you. 29 I will also save you from all your defilements, and I will call for grain and
increase it, and I will not put a famine on you. (Joel 2:23-26) 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, in
order that you will not any more receive the disgrace of famine among the
nations. 31 And you will remember your evil ways and your doings that were not good, and
you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for your iniquities and for your
abominations. 32 Let it be known to you that I am not doing this for your sake, states Adonai
YAHUVEH. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel. 33 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: In the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I
will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built. (Lev
16:30, Is 49:8, Is 58:12) 34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the
eyes of all passing by. 35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden
of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and
inhabited. (Joel 2:3, Is 51:3) 36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, YAHUVEH, built the
razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, YAHUVEH have spoken it and
will do it.
Corinthians 15:1–58
1 But, brothers, I reveal to you the good news which I preached to you, which
you also received, in which you also stand, 2 by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the Word which I
preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you in the first place what I also received, that Messiah
died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day, according to
the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 Then He appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, of whom are still
standing until now, but some also fell asleep. 7 Then He was seen by Jacob, then by all the apostles; 8 and last of all, He was also seen by me; ignorant and imperfectly trained as I
was. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the Congregation of YAHUVEH. 10 But by the grace of ELOHIM I am what I am, and His grace which was toward me
has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet
not I, but the grace of ELOHIM within me. 11 Then whether they or I, so we preach, and so you believed. 12 But if Messiah is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some
among you say that there is not a resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been
raised. 14 But if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclamation is worthless, and
your faith is also worthless. 15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of ELOHIM, because we witnessed
as to ELOHIM that He raised Messiah, whom He did not raise, if the dead ones are
not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, Messiah has not been raised. 17 But if Messiah has not been raised, your faith is foolish; you are still in
your sins. 18 And then those that fell asleep in Messiah have perished. 19 If we only have hope in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most
miserable. 20 But now Messiah has been raised from the dead; He became the first-fruit of
those having fallen asleep. 21 For since through man came death, also through a Man is a resurrection of the
dead; 22 for as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Messiah, the first-fruit; afterward those of
Messiah at His coming. 24 Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to YAHUVEH, even the Father,
when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power. 25 For it is right for Him to reign until He puts all enemies under His feet; 26 the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For “He subjected all things under His feet;” but when He says that “all
things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts Him” (The Father) who
has subjected all things to Him. (Psa. 8:6) 28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be
subjected to the One (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him, that
YAHUVEH may be all things in all. 29 Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized for the dead? If the dead
are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized for the dead? 30 And why do we continue to stand in danger every hour? 31 I affirm by your pride, which I have in Messiah YAHUSHUA our Master, I die
daily. 32 If, after the manner of men, I was thrown to wild beasts in Ephesus, what is
the profit to me if the dead are not raised? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow
we die.” 33 Do not be led astray; bad companionships ruin good habits. 34 Awake your hearts to righteousness, and do not sin; for some have not the
knowledge of YAHUVEH. I speak to your shame. 35 But someone will say, How are the dead raised? And with what body do they
come? 36 Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare
grain, it may be of wheat or barley, or of some other seed, 38 and ELOHIM gives it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds
its own natural body. 39 Not every flesh is the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another
flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds. 40 And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies. But the glory of the
heavenly is truly different, and that of the earthly different; 41 one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42 So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised
in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, 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 So also it has been written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The
last Adam a life-giving Spirit. 46 But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was out of earth, earthy. The second Man was the Master YAHUVEH
out of Heaven. 48 As is the earthy man, such also are the earthy ones. And such as is the
heavenly Man, such also are the heavenly ones. 49 And as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the likeness
of the heavenly one. 50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the
kingdom of YAHUVEH, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall
all be changed. 52 In a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet; for a trumpet
will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be
changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. 54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
put on immortality, then will take place the Word that has been written, “Death
was swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” 56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Torah; 57 but thanks be to ELOHIM who gives us the victory through our Master YAHUSHUA
Messiah! 58 So that, my beloved brothers, you be firm, immovable, abounding in the work
of YAHUVEH always, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Master
YAHUVEH.
