Which verse is cited for the bodily resurrection and eternal life for the righteous?

• A. Philippians 3:20-21
• B. John 11:25-26
• C. Romans 6:23
• D. Acts 24:15

Answer: (B)

At the heart of this idea is that life beyond death and bodily resurrection come through faith in Jesus. In this verse, Jesus explicitly declares, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” This directly links the future bodily resurrection to belief in Christ and promises ongoing life for the righteous—precisely the combination of bodily resurrection and eternal life for those who trust Him. Other verses point to related truths in supporting ways: Philippians 3:20-21 speaks of believers' bodies being transformed to be like Christ’s glorious body, touching the bodily resurrection; Romans 6:23 presents eternal life as a gift through Jesus but not the explicit connection to resurrection itself; Acts 24:15 mentions a general resurrection of the dead, both righteous and unrighteous, rather than focusing on the righteous specifically through faith in Christ. So, this verse best captures the direct claim that Jesus is the source of both resurrection and life for the righteous.
