What Does the Bible Say About..Resurrection of Sinners?

Does the bible teach that unrepentant sinners will be resurrected?

Answer

The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29)
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. (Acts 24:14-15)

These passages would indicate that both the saved and the unrepentant will be resurrected. The former will rise to be with God. The latter will be raised to eternal punishment.
