1 Corinthians 15
1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον ο ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ο και παρελαβετε εν ω και εστηκατε
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
δι ου και σωζεσθε τινι λογω ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ει κατεχετε εκτος ει μη εικη επιστευσατε
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
παρεδωκα γαρ υμιν εν πρωτοις ο και παρελαβον οτι χριστος απεθανεν υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων κατα τας γραφας
4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
και οτι εταφη και οτι εγηγερται τη τριτη ημερα κατα τας γραφας
5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
και οτι ωφθη κηφα ειτα τοις δωδεκα
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοις αδελφοις εφαπαξ εξ ων οι πλειους μενουσιν εως αρτι τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν
7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
επειτα ωφθη ιακωβω ειτα τοις αποστολοις πασιν
8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
εγω γαρ ειμι ο ελαχιστος των αποστολων ος ουκ ειμι ικανος καλεισθαι αποστολος διοτι εδιωξα την εκκλησιαν του θεου
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
χαριτι δε θεου ειμι ο ειμι και η χαρις αυτου η εις εμε ου κενη εγενηθη αλλα περισσοτερον αυτων παντων εκοπιασα ουκ εγω δε αλλ η χαρις του θεου η συν εμοι
11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
ειτε ουν εγω ειτε εκεινοι ουτως κηρυσσομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
ει δε χριστος κηρυσσεται οτι εκ νεκρων εγηγερται πως λεγουσιν τινες εν υμιν οτι αναστασις νεκρων ουκ εστιν
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
ει δε αναστασις νεκρων ουκ εστιν ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται κενον αρα το κηρυγμα ημων κενη δε και η πιστις υμων
15 In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
ευρισκομεθα δε και ψευδομαρτυρες του θεου οτι εμαρτυρησαμεν κατα του θεου οτι ηγειρεν τον χριστον ον ουκ ηγειρεν ειπερ αρα νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται
16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
ει γαρ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται ματαια η πιστις υμων ετι εστε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν χριστω απωλοντο
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
ει εν τη ζωη ταυτη ηλπικοτες εσμεν εν χριστω μονον ελεεινοτεροι παντων ανθρωπων εσμεν
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
νυνι δε χριστος εγηγερται εκ νεκρων απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων εγενετο
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
επειδη γαρ δι ανθρωπου ο θανατος και δι ανθρωπου αναστασις νεκρων
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
ωσπερ γαρ εν τω αδαμ παντες αποθνησκουσιν ουτως και εν τω χριστω παντες ζωοποιηθησονται
23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
εκαστος δε εν τω ιδιω ταγματι απαρχη χριστος επειτα οι του χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
24 Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.
ειτα το τελος οταν παραδω την βασιλειαν τω θεω και πατρι οταν καταργηση πασαν αρχην και πασαν εξουσιαν και δυναμιν
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρις ου αν θη παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος
27 For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
παντα γαρ υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου οταν δε ειπη οτι παντα υποτετακται δηλον οτι εκτος του υποταξαντος αυτω τα παντα
28 And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
οταν δε υποταγη αυτω τα παντα τοτε και αυτος ο υιος υποταγησεται τω υποταξαντι αυτω τα παντα ινα η ο θεος τα παντα εν πασιν
29 If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
επει τι ποιησουσιν οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων ει ολως νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων
30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
καθ ημεραν αποθνησκω νη την υμετεραν καυχησιν ην εχω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
ει κατα ανθρωπον εθηριομαχησα εν εφεσω τι μοι το οφελος ει νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται φαγωμεν και πιωμεν αυριον γαρ αποθνησκομεν
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
μη πλανασθε φθειρουσιν ηθη χρηστα ομιλιαι κακαι
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
εκνηψατε δικαιως και μη αμαρτανετε αγνωσιαν γαρ θεου τινες εχουσιν προς εντροπην υμιν λεγω
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
αλλ ερει τις πως εγειρονται οι νεκροι ποιω δε σωματι ερχονται
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
αφρον συ ο σπειρεις ου ζωοποιειται εαν μη αποθανη
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
και ο σπειρεις ου το σωμα το γενησομενον σπειρεις αλλα γυμνον κοκκον ει τυχοι σιτου η τινος των λοιπων
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
ο δε θεος αυτω διδωσιν σωμα καθως ηθελησεν και εκαστω των σπερματων το ιδιον σωμα
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
ου πασα σαρξ η αυτη σαρξ αλλα αλλη μεν ανθρωπων αλλη δε σαρξ κτηνων αλλη δε ιχθυων αλλη δε πτηνων
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια αλλ ετερα μεν η των επουρανιων δοξα ετερα δε η των επιγειων
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
αλλη δοξα ηλιου και αλλη δοξα σεληνης και αλλη δοξα αστερων αστηρ γαρ αστερος διαφερει εν δοξη
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
ουτως και η αναστασις των νεκρων σπειρεται εν φθορα εγειρεται εν αφθαρσια
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
σπειρεται εν ατιμια εγειρεται εν δοξη σπειρεται εν ασθενεια εγειρεται εν δυναμει
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
σπειρεται σωμα ψυχικον εγειρεται σωμα πνευματικον εστιν σωμα ψυχικον και εστιν σωμα πνευματικον
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
ουτως και γεγραπται εγενετο ο πρωτος ανθρωπος αδαμ εις ψυχην ζωσαν ο εσχατος αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
αλλ ου πρωτον το πνευματικον αλλα το ψυχικον επειτα το πνευματικον
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
ο πρωτος ανθρωπος εκ γης χοικος ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο κυριος εξ ουρανου
48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
οιος ο χοικος τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι και οιος ο επουρανιος τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου φορεσωμεν και την εικονα του επουρανιου
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν θεου κληρονομησαι ου δυνανται ουδε η φθορα την αφθαρσιαν κληρονομει
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
ιδου μυστηριον υμιν λεγω παντες μεν ου κοιμηθησομεθα παντες δε αλλαγησομεθα
52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
εν ατομω εν ριπη οφθαλμου εν τη εσχατη σαλπιγγι σαλπισει γαρ και οι νεκροι εγερθησονται αφθαρτοι και ημεις αλλαγησομεθα
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
δει γαρ το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αθανασιαν
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
οταν δε το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσηται αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσηται αθανασιαν τοτε γενησεται ο λογος ο γεγραμμενος κατεποθη ο θανατος εις νικος
που σου θανατε το κεντρον που σου αδη το νικος (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
το δε κεντρον του θανατου η αμαρτια η δε δυναμις της αμαρτιας ο νομος
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
τω δε θεω χαρις τω διδοντι ημιν το νικος δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εδραιοι γινεσθε αμετακινητοι περισσευοντες εν τω εργω του κυριου παντοτε ειδοτες οτι ο κοπος υμων ουκ εστιν κενος εν κυριω
