1 Corinthians 15
1 And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον ο ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ο και παρελαβετε εν ω και εστηκατε
2 By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
δι ου και σωζεσθε τινι λογω ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ει κατεχετε εκτος ει μη εικη επιστευσατε
3 For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: 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 and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
και οτι εταφη και οτι εγηγερται τη τριτη ημερα κατα τας γραφας
5 and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
και οτι ωφθη κηφα ειτα τοις δωδεκα
6 Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοις αδελφοις εφαπαξ εξ ων οι πλειους μενουσιν εως αρτι τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν
7 Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
επειτα ωφθη ιακωβω ειτα τοις αποστολοις πασιν
8 And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.
εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι
9 For I am the least of the Apostles. I am not worthy 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 in me has not been empty, since I have labored more abundantly than all of them. Yet it is not I, but the grace of God within 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 For whether it is I or they: so we preach, and so you have believed.
ειτε ουν εγω ειτε εκεινοι ουτως κηρυσσομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he rose again from the dead, how is it that some among 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 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
ει δε αναστασις νεκρων ουκ εστιν ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is useless, and your faith is also useless.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται κενον αρα το κηρυγμα ημων κενη δε και η πιστις υμων
15 Then, too, we would be found to be false witnesses of God, because we would have given testimony against God, saying that he had raised up Christ, when he had not raised him up, if, indeed, the dead do not rise again.
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 do not rise again, then neither has Christ risen again.
ει γαρ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
17 But if Christ has not risen, then your faith is vain; for you would still be in your sins.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται ματαια η πιστις υμων ετι εστε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
18 Then, too, those who have fallen asleep in Christ would have perished.
αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν χριστω απωλοντο
19 If we have hope in Christ for this life only, then we are more miserable than all men.
ει εν τη ζωη ταυτη ηλπικοτες εσμεν εν χριστω μονον ελεεινοτεροι παντων ανθρωπων εσμεν
20 But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.
νυνι δε χριστος εγηγερται εκ νεκρων απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων εγενετο
21 For certainly, death came through a man. And so, the resurrection of the dead came through a man
επειδη γαρ δι ανθρωπου ο θανατος και δι ανθρωπου αναστασις νεκρων
22 And just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life,
ωσπερ γαρ εν τω αδαμ παντες αποθνησκουσιν ουτως και εν τω χριστω παντες ζωοποιηθησονται
23 but each one in his proper order: Christ, as the first-fruits, and next, those who are of Christ, who have believed in his advent.
εκαστος δε εν τω ιδιω ταγματι απαρχη χριστος επειτα οι του χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
24 Afterwards is the end, when he will have handed over the kingdom to God the Father, when he will have emptied all principality, and 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 it is necessary for him to reign, until he has set all his enemies under his feet.
δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρις ου αν θη παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου
26 Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,
εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος
27 “All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to 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 will have been subjected to him, then even the Son himself will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to 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 Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?
επει τι ποιησουσιν οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων ει ολως νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων
30 Why also do we endure trials every hour?
τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν
31 Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
καθ ημεραν αποθνησκω νη την υμετεραν καυχησιν ην εχω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
32 If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall 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 led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
μη πλανασθε φθειρουσιν ηθη χρηστα ομιλιαι κακαι
34 Be vigilant, you just ones, and do not be willing to sin. For certain persons have an ignorance of God. I say this to you with respect.
εκνηψατε δικαιως και μη αμαρτανετε αγνωσιαν γαρ θεου τινες εχουσιν προς εντροπην υμιν λεγω
35 But someone may say, “How do the dead rise again?” or, “What type of body do they return with?”
αλλ ερει τις πως εγειρονται οι νεκροι ποιω δε σωματι ερχονται
36 How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
αφρον συ ο σπειρεις ου ζωοποιειται εαν μη αποθανη
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
και ο σπειρεις ου το σωμα το γενησομενον σπειρεις αλλα γυμνον κοκκον ει τυχοι σιτου η τινος των λοιπων
38 For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed’s proper body.
ο δε θεος αυτω διδωσιν σωμα καθως ηθελησεν και εκαστω των σπερματων το ιδιον σωμα
39 Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
ου πασα σαρξ η αυτη σαρξ αλλα αλλη μεν ανθρωπων αλλη δε σαρξ κτηνων αλλη δε ιχθυων αλλη δε πτηνων
40 Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια αλλ ετερα μεν η των επουρανιων δοξα ετερα δε η των επιγειων
41 One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars. For even star differs from star in brightness.
αλλη δοξα ηλιου και αλλη δοξα σεληνης και αλλη δοξα αστερων αστηρ γαρ αστερος διαφερει εν δοξη
42 So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
ουτως και η αναστασις των νεκρων σπειρεται εν φθορα εγειρεται εν αφθαρσια
43 What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
σπειρεται εν ατιμια εγειρεται εν δοξη σπειρεται εν ασθενεια εγειρεται εν δυναμει
44 What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one.
σπειρεται σωμα ψυχικον εγειρεται σωμα πνευματικον εστιν σωμα ψυχικον και εστιν σωμα πνευματικον
45 Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life.
ουτως και γεγραπται εγενετο ο πρωτος ανθρωπος αδαμ εις ψυχην ζωσαν ο εσχατος αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν
46 So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual.
αλλ ου πρωτον το πνευματικον αλλα το ψυχικον επειτα το πνευματικον
47 The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
ο πρωτος ανθρωπος εκ γης χοικος ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο κυριος εξ ουρανου
48 Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
οιος ο χοικος τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι και οιος ο επουρανιος τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι
49 And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.
και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου φορεσωμεν και την εικονα του επουρανιου
50 Now I say this, brothers, because flesh and blood is not able to possess the kingdom of God; neither will what is corrupt possess what is incorrupt.
τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν θεου κληρονομησαι ου δυνανται ουδε η φθορα την αφθαρσιαν κληρονομει
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
ιδου μυστηριον υμιν λεγω παντες μεν ου κοιμηθησομεθα παντες δε αλλαγησομεθα
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
εν ατομω εν ριπη οφθαλμου εν τη εσχατη σαλπιγγι σαλπισει γαρ και οι νεκροι εγερθησονται αφθαρτοι και ημεις αλλαγησομεθα
53 Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
δει γαρ το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αθανασιαν
54 And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: “Death is 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 Now 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 has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
τω δε θεω χαρις τω διδοντι ημιν το νικος δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
58 And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.
ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εδραιοι γινεσθε αμετακινητοι περισσευοντες εν τω εργω του κυριου παντοτε ειδοτες οτι ο κοπος υμων ουκ εστιν κενος εν κυριω
