# Resurrection of the Dead ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The raising of the righteous, who will live forever with the risen Christ, on the last day. The eleventh article of the Christian creed states, "I believe in the resurrection of the body." The resurrection of the body means not only that the immortal soul will live on after death, but that even our "mortal bodies" (_Rom_8:11) will come to life again_ ([[1.2.3.11.p2g#^ccc-988|988]]). ## Ignatius Catholic Study Bible **Resurrection** Imperishable mode of existence: [[luke-20#^luke-20-36|Lk 20:36]]; [[1-corinthians-15#^1-corinthians-15-42|1 Cor 15:42, 50]] Jesus debated the Sadducees regarding the resurrection of the dead, which they denied: [[matthew-22#^matthew-22-23|Mt 22:23-32]]; [[mark-12#^mark-12-18|Mk 12:18-27]]: Lk 20:27-38 No marriage in the resurrected state: [[matthew-22#^matthew-22-30|Mt 22:30]]; [[mark-12#^mark-12-25|Mk 12:25]]; [[luke-20#^luke-20-35|Lk 20:35]] Resurrection of the baptized at the Second Coming: [[1-corinthians-15#^1-corinthians-15-23|1 Cor 15:23]]; [[1-thessalonians-04#^1-thessalonians-04-15|1 Thess 4:15-17]] Righteous and wicked both resurrected but to different fates: [[john-05#^john-05-29|Jn 5:29]]; [[acts-of-the-apostles-24#^acts-of-the-apostles-24-15|Acts 24:15]]; [[1-corinthians-15#^1-corinthians-15-12|1 Cor 15:12, 20-22, 23, 35-57]]; [[2-corinthians-05#^2-corinthians-05-1|2 Cor 5:1-4]]; [[philippians-03#^philippians-03-21|Phil 3:21]]; [[revelation-20#^revelation-20-11|Rev 20:11-15]] Transformation to a new kind of spiritualized physical (bodily) existence: [[romans-08#^romans-08-11|Rom 8:11, 23]]; [[1-corinthians-15#^1-corinthians-15-35|1 Cor 15:35-57]]; [[2-corinthians-05#^2-corinthians-05-1|2 Cor 5:1-5]] *See also* [[body]]; [[immortality]]; [[resurrection-of-christ|Resurrection of Jesus Christ]] ### Sources [[index-of-doctrines|Index of Doctrines]]
