1 Corinthians 15
1 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον ο ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ο και παρελαβετε εν ω και εστηκατε
2 through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.
δι ου και σωζεσθε τινι λογω ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ει κατεχετε εκτος ει μη εικη επιστευσατε
3 For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
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 has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
και οτι εταφη και οτι εγηγερται τη τριτη ημερα κατα τας γραφας
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
και οτι ωφθη κηφα ειτα τοις δωδεκα
6 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοις αδελφοις εφαπαξ εξ ων οι πλειους μενουσιν εως αρτι τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν
7 afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
επειτα ωφθη ιακωβω ειτα τοις αποστολοις πασιν
8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι
9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,
εγω γαρ ειμι ο ελαχιστος των αποστολων ος ουκ ειμι ικανος καλεισθαι αποστολος διοτι εδιωξα την εκκλησιαν του θεου
10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] 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, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
ειτε ουν εγω ειτε εκεινοι ουτως κηρυσσομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε
12 And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain 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 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
ει δε αναστασις νεκρων ουκ εστιν ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
14 and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται κενον αρα το κηρυγμα ημων κενη δε και η πιστις υμων
15 and we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
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 dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
ει γαρ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται ματαια η πιστις υμων ετι εστε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν χριστω απωλοντο
19 if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
ει εν τη ζωη ταυτη ηλπικοτες εσμεν εν χριστω μονον ελεεινοτεροι παντων ανθρωπων εσμεν
20 And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
νυνι δε χριστος εγηγερται εκ νεκρων απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων εγενετο
21 for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
επειδη γαρ δι ανθρωπου ο θανατος και δι ανθρωπου αναστασις νεκρων
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
ωσπερ γαρ εν τω αδαμ παντες αποθνησκουσιν ουτως και εν τω χριστω παντες ζωοποιηθησονται
23 and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
εκαστος δε εν τω ιδιω ταγματι απαρχη χριστος επειτα οι χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
24 then—the end, when He may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He may have made all rule useless, and all 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 may have put all the enemies under His feet.
δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρις ου αν θη παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου
26 The last enemy is done away with—death.
εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος
27 For He put all things under His feet, and when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who 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 may be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subject to Him, who subjected to Him all things, that God may be the 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 Seeing what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they also immersed for the dead?
επει τι ποιησουσιν οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων ει ολως νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων
30 Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν
31 I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
καθ ημεραν αποθνησκω νη την υμετεραν καυχησιν ην εχω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
32 If I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus after the manner of a man, what [is] the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? 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 led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
μη πλανασθε φθειρουσιν ηθη χρησθ ομιλιαι κακαι
34 wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
εκνηψατε δικαιως και μη αμαρτανετε αγνωσιαν γαρ θεου τινες εχουσιν προς εντροπην υμιν λεγω
35 But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
αλλ ερει τις πως εγειρονται οι νεκροι ποιω δε σωματι ερχονται
36 Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
αφρον συ ο σπειρεις ου ζωοποιειται εαν μη αποθανη
37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of someone of the others,
και ο σπειρεις ου το σωμα το γενησομενον σπειρεις αλλα γυμνον κοκκον ει τυχοι σιτου η τινος των λοιπων
38 and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
ο δε θεος αυτω διδωσιν σωμα καθως ηθελησεν και εκαστω των σπερματων το ιδιον σωμα
39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;
ου πασα σαρξ η αυτη σαρξ αλλα αλλη μεν σαρξ ανθρωπων αλλη δε σαρξ κτηνων αλλη δε ιχθυων αλλη δε πτηνων
40 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια αλλ ετερα μεν η των επουρανιων δοξα ετερα δε η των επιγειων
41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.
αλλη δοξα ηλιου και αλλη δοξα σεληνης και αλλη δοξα αστερων αστηρ γαρ αστερος διαφερει εν δοξη
42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
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; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
σπειρεται σωμα ψυχικον εγειρεται σωμα πνευματικον εστιν σωμα ψυχικον και εστιν σωμα πνευματικον
45 so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
ουτως και γεγραπται εγενετο ο πρωτος ανθρωπος αδαμ εις ψυχην ζωσαν ο εσχατος αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν
46 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.
αλλ ου πρωτον το πνευματικον αλλα το ψυχικον επειτα το πνευματικον
47 The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
ο πρωτος ανθρωπος εκ γης χοικος ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο κυριος εξ ουρανου
48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
οιος ο χοικος τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι και οιος ο επουρανιος τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι
49 and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου φορεσομεν και την εικονα του επουρανιου
50 And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the corruption inherit the incorruption.
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 secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
ιδου μυστηριον υμιν λεγω παντες μεν ου κοιμηθησομεθα παντες δε αλλαγησομεθα
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, 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 it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
δει γαρ το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αθανασιαν
54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word that has been written: “Death was swallowed up—to 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 And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
το δε κεντρον του θανατου η αμαρτια η δε δυναμις της αμαρτιας ο νομος
57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
τω δε θεω χαρις τω διδοντι ημιν το νικος δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
58 so that, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the LORD at all times, knowing that your labor in the LORD is not 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
