1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the glad tidings which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
Γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε,
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
διʼ οὗ καὶ σῴζεσθε, τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, εἰ κατέχετε, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ εἰκῇ ἐπιστεύσατε.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that the Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Παρέδωκα γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις, ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον, ὅτι Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς,
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη, καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ ⸂ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς,
5 And that he was seen of Kepha, then of the twelve:
καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη Κηφᾷ, εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα·
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ, ἐξ ὧν οἱ ⸀πλείονεςμένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι, τινὲς ⸀δὲἐκοιμήθησαν·
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
ἔπειτα ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ, εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν·
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of Elohim.
ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὃς οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος, διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ·
10 But by the favour of YHWH I am what I am: and his favour which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the favour of YHWH which was with me.
χάριτι δὲ θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι, καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ κενὴ ἐγενήθη, ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα, οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ἡ σὺν ἐμοί.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
εἴτε οὖν ἐγὼ εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι, οὕτως κηρύσσομεν καὶ οὕτως ἐπιστεύσατε.
12 Now if the Messiah be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς κηρύσσεται ὅτι ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγήγερται, πῶς λέγουσιν ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν τινες ὅτι ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν;
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is the Messiah not risen:
εἰ δὲ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν, οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται·
14 And if the Messiah be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, κενὸν ⸀ἄρατὸ κήρυγμα ἡμῶν, ⸀κενὴκαὶ ἡ πίστις ⸀ὑμῶν
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of YHWH; because we have testified of YHWH that he raised up the Messiah: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
εὑρισκόμεθα δὲ καὶ ψευδομάρτυρες τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι ἐμαρτυρήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἤγειρεν τὸν Χριστόν, ὃν οὐκ ἤγειρεν εἴπερ ἄρα νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not the Messiah raised:
εἰ γὰρ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται·
17 And if the Messiah be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, ματαία ἡ πίστις ⸀ὑμῶν ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in the Messiah are perished.
ἄρα καὶ οἱ κοιμηθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ ἀπώλοντο.
19 If in this life only we have hope in the Messiah, we are of all men most miserable.
εἰ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ταύτῃ ⸂ἐν Χριστῷ ἠλπικότες ἐσμὲν μόνον, ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐσμέν.
20 But now is the Messiah risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Νυνὶ δὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ⸀κεκοιμημένων
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
ἐπειδὴ γὰρ διʼ ἀνθρώπου ⸀θάνατος καὶ διʼ ἀνθρώπου ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν·
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in the Messiah shall all be made alive.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν τῷ Ἀδὰμ πάντες ἀποθνῄσκουσιν, οὕτως καὶ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ πάντες ζῳοποιηθήσονται.
23 But every man in his own order: the Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are the Messiah's at his coming.
ἕκαστος δὲ ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι· ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός, ἔπειτα οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ·
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to YHWH, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
εἶτα τὸ τέλος, ὅταν ⸀παραδιδῷτὴν βασιλείαν τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί, ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν,
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν ἄχρι ⸀οὗθῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
ἔσχατος ἐχθρὸς καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος,
27 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, which did put all things under him.
πάντα γὰρ ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ. ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ ὅτι πάντα ὑποτέτακται, δῆλον ὅτι ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that YHWH may be all in all.
ὅταν δὲ ὑποταγῇ αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, ⸀τότεαὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς ὑποταγήσεται τῷ ὑποτάξαντι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ἵνα ᾖ ὁ θεὸς ⸀πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
Ἐπεὶ τί ποιήσουσιν οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν; εἰ ὅλως νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, τί καὶ βαπτίζονται ὑπὲρ ⸀αὐτῶν
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
τί καὶ ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν;
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in the Messiah Yahushua our Master, I die daily.
καθʼ ἡμέραν ἀποθνῄσκω, νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν ⸀καύχησιν ἣν ἔχω ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
εἰ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν Ἐφέσῳ, τί μοι τὸ ὄφελος; εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, Φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν, αὔριον γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκομεν.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
μὴ πλανᾶσθε· φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρηστὰ ὁμιλίαι κακαί.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of Elohim: I speak this to your shame.
ἐκνήψατε δικαίως καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε, ἀγνωσίαν γὰρ θεοῦ τινες ἔχουσιν· πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν ⸀λαλῶ
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
Ἀλλὰ ἐρεῖ τις· Πῶς ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονται;
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
⸀ἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις, οὐ ζῳοποιεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃ·
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
καὶ ὃ σπείρεις, οὐ τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον σπείρεις ἀλλὰ γυμνὸν κόκκον εἰ τύχοι σίτου ἤ τινος τῶν λοιπῶν·
38 But Elohim giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ⸂δίδωσιν αὐτῷ σῶμα καθὼς ἠθέλησεν, καὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν σπερμάτων ⸀ἴδιονσῶμα.
39 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 birds.
οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ, ἀλλὰ ἄλλη μὲν ἀνθρώπων, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ ⸂σὰρξ πτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ ⸀ἰχθύων
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
καὶ σώματα ἐπουράνια, καὶ σώματα ἐπίγεια· ἀλλὰ ἑτέρα μὲν ἡ τῶν ἐπουρανίων δόξα, ἑτέρα δὲ ἡ τῶν ἐπιγείων.
41 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.
ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων, ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Οὕτως καὶ ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν. σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ·
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δόξῃ· σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δυνάμει·
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
σπείρεται σῶμα ψυχικόν, ἐγείρεται σῶμα πνευματικόν. ⸀Εἰἔστιν σῶμα ψυχικόν, ⸂ἔστιν καὶ πνευματικόν.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
οὕτως καὶ γέγραπται· Ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν· ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα ζῳοποιοῦν.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
ἀλλʼ οὐ πρῶτον τὸ πνευματικὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ ψυχικόν, ἔπειτα τὸ πνευματικόν.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is Yahushua from heaven.
ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωποςἐκ γῆς χοϊκός, ὁ δεύτερος ⸀ἄνθρωπος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
οἷος ὁ χοϊκός, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί, καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι·
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
καὶ καθὼς ἐφορέσαμεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ χοϊκοῦ, ⸀φορέσομενκαὶ τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of YHWH; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Τοῦτο δέ φημι, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα βασιλείαν θεοῦ κληρονομῆσαι οὐ ⸀δύναται οὐδὲ ἡ φθορὰ τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν κληρονομεῖ.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
ἰδοὺ μυστήριον ὑμῖν λέγω· ⸀πάντεςοὐ κοιμηθησόμεθα πάντες δὲ ἀλλαγησόμεθα,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
ἐν ἀτόμῳ, ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ, ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι· σαλπίσει γάρ, καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
δεῖ γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν.
54 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.
ὅταν δὲ τὸ ⸂φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ⸀ἀθανασίαν τότε γενήσεται ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος· Κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος.
ποῦ σου, θάνατε, τὸ ⸂νῖκος; ποῦ σου, θάνατε, τὸ κέντρον⸃; (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
τὸ δὲ κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία, ἡ δὲ δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος·
57 But thanks be to YHWH, which giveth us the victory through our Master Yahushua the Messiah.
τῷ δὲ θεῷ χάρις τῷ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of YHWH, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in Him.
Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, ἑδραῖοι γίνεσθε, ἀμετακίνητοι, περισσεύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ κυρίου πάντοτε, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν κενὸς ἐν κυρίῳ.
