Readings of the day

• Epistle

  1 Corinthians 15:39–45

  Show the text

  ³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

  ⁴⁰There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

  ⁴¹There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

  ⁴²So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

  ⁴³It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

  ⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

  ⁴⁵So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

  ²⁷After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

  ²⁸He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

  ²⁹Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

  ³⁰Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

  ³¹Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

  ³²I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
