1 Corinthians 15:36

The Scriptures 1998

Senseless one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

See the chapter Copy

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground,

“Mindless ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

“But Elohim said to him, ‘You mindless one! This night your life shall be demanded from you. And who shall own what you have prepared?’

And He said to them, “O thoughtless ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

And as to what you sow: you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, it might be wheat or some other grain.

See then that you walk exactly, not as unwise, but as wise,

But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead?
