1 Corinthians 15:36

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

You foolish man! The seed you yourself sow does not come to life, unless it dies!

See the chapter Copy

Fools! did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?

But God said to the man 'Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared--who will have it?'

Then Jesus said to them: "O foolish men, slow to accept all that the Prophets have said!

In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.

Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;

And when you sow, you sow not the body that will be, but a mere grain-perhaps of wheat, or something else.

Take great care, then, how you live--not unwisely but wisely,

Now do you really want to understand, you foolish man, how it is that faith without actions leads to nothing?
