1 Corinthians 15
1 But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which ye stand;
2 by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings, ) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
For I delivered to you first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve:
6 Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
8 and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to me also.
And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which [was] with me.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me, was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
Therefore whether [it was] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?
Now if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not raised.
14 but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
And if Christ is not raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.
And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.
16 For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
And if Christ is not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 (But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
But now is Christ raised from the dead, [and] become the first-fruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule, and all authority, and power.
25 For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 [The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
27 For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him], [it is] manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under him.
28 But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
Else what will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak [this] to your shame.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die.
[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not vivified except it die:
37 And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain; it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
38 and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body.
39 Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.
All flesh [is] not the same flesh; but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
40 And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
41 one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
42 Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam [was made] a vivifying spirit.
46 But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
However, that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
The first man [is] from the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
48 Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
57 but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
But thanks [be] to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
