RLDS Verse Context

32 But I shew unto you one thing, which I have inquired diligently of God, that I might know; that is, concerning the resurrection.

33 Behold, there is a time appointed that all shall come forth from the dead.

34 Now when this time cometh, no one knows; but God knoweth the time which is appointed.

35 Now whether there shall be one time, or a second time, or a third time, that men shall come forth from the dead, it mattereth not; for God knoweth all these things; and it sufficeth me to know that this is the case; that there is a time appointed that all shall rise from the dead.

36 Now there must needs be a space betwixt the time of death, and the time of the resurrection.

37 And now I would inquire what becometh of the souls of men, from this time of death, to the time appointed for the resurrection?

38 Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise, it mattereth not: for all do not die at once: and this mattereth not; all is as one day, with God; and time only is measured unto men;

39 Therefore there is a time appointed unto men, that they shall rise from the dead; and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection.

40 And now concerning this space of time. What becometh of the souls of men, is the thing which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know; and this is the thing of which I do know.

41 And when the time cometh when all shall rise, then shall they know that God knoweth all the times which are appointed unto man.

42 Now concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection.
