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,
he bhrātaraḥ, yaḥ susaṁvādo mayā yuṣmatsamīpe nivedito yūyañca yaṁ gṛhītavanta āśritavantaśca taṁ puna ryuṣmān vijñāpayāmi|
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.
yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso yadi vitatho na bhavet tarhi susaṁvādayuktāni mama vākyāni smaratāṁ yuṣmākaṁ tena susaṁvādena paritrāṇaṁ jāyate|
3 For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,
yato'haṁ yad yat jñāpitastadanusārāt yuṣmāsu mukhyāṁ yāṁ śikṣāṁ samārpayaṁ seyaṁ, śāstrānusārāt khrīṣṭo'smākaṁ pāpamocanārthaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān,
4 and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,
śmaśāne sthāpitaśca tṛtīyadine śāstrānusārāt punarutthāpitaḥ|
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,
sa cāgre kaiphai tataḥ paraṁ dvādaśaśiṣyebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
6 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;
tataḥ paraṁ pañcaśatādhikasaṁkhyakebhyo bhrātṛbhyo yugapad darśanaṁ dattavān teṣāṁ kecit mahānidrāṁ gatā bahutarāścādyāpi varttante|
7 afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
tadanantaraṁ yākūbāya tatpaścāt sarvvebhyaḥ preritebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān|
8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,
sarvvaśeṣe'kālajātatulyo yo'haṁ, so'hamapi tasya darśanaṁ prāptavān|
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,
īśvarasya samitiṁ prati daurātmyācaraṇād ahaṁ preritanāma dharttum ayogyastasmāt preritānāṁ madhye kṣudratamaścāsmi|
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;
yādṛśo'smi tādṛśa īśvarasyānugraheṇaivāsmi; aparaṁ māṁ prati tasyānugraho niṣphalo nābhavat, anyebhyaḥ sarvvebhyo mayādhikaḥ śramaḥ kṛtaḥ, kintu sa mayā kṛtastannahi matsahakāriṇeśvarasyānugraheṇaiva|
11 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
ataeva mayā bhavet tai rvā bhavet asmābhistādṛśī vārttā ghoṣyate saiva ca yuṣmābhi rviśvāsena gṛhītā|
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?
mṛtyudaśātaḥ khrīṣṭa utthāpita iti vārttā yadi tamadhi ghoṣyate tarhi mṛtalokānām utthiti rnāstīti vāg yuṣmākaṁ madhye kaiścit kutaḥ kathyate?
13 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pi notthāpitaḥ
14 and if Christ has not risen, then our preaching [is] void, and your faith [is] also void,
khrīṣṭaśca yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhyasmākaṁ ghoṣaṇaṁ vitathaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso'pi vitathaḥ|
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;
vayañceśvarasya mṛṣāsākṣiṇo bhavāmaḥ, yataḥ khrīṣṭa stenotthāpitaḥ iti sākṣyam asmābhirīśvaramadhi dattaṁ kintu mṛtānāmutthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi sa tena notthāpitaḥ|
16 for if dead persons do not rise, neither has Christ risen,
yato mṛtānāmutthiti ryati na bhavet tarhi khrīṣṭo'pyutthāpitatvaṁ na gataḥ|
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins;
khrīṣṭasya yadyanutthāpitaḥ syāt tarhi yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso vitathaḥ, yūyam adyāpi svapāpeṣu magnāstiṣṭhatha|
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ perished;
aparaṁ khrīṣṭāśritā ye mānavā mahānidrāṁ gatāste'pi nāśaṁ gatāḥ|
19 if we only have hope in Christ in this life, we are to be most pitied of all men.
khrīṣṭo yadi kevalamihaloke 'smākaṁ pratyāśābhūmiḥ syāt tarhi sarvvamartyebhyo vayameva durbhāgyāḥ|
20 And now, Christ has risen out of the dead—He became the first-fruits of those sleeping,
idānīṁ khrīṣṭo mṛtyudaśāta utthāpito mahānidrāgatānāṁ madhye prathamaphalasvarūpo jātaśca|
21 for since through man [is] death, also through Man [is] a resurrection of the dead,
yato yadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtyuḥ prādurbhūtastadvat mānuṣadvārā mṛtānāṁ punarutthitirapi pradurbhūtā|
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all will be made alive,
ādamā yathā sarvve maraṇādhīnā jātāstathā khrīṣṭena sarvve jīvayiṣyante|
23 and each in his proper order: Christ, a first-fruit, afterward those who are the Christ’s in His coming,
kintvekaikena janena nije nije paryyāya utthātavyaṁ prathamataḥ prathamajātaphalasvarūpena khrīṣṭena, dvitīyatastasyāgamanasamaye khrīṣṭasya lokaiḥ|
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.
tataḥ param anto bhaviṣyati tadānīṁ sa sarvvaṁ śāsanam adhipatitvaṁ parākramañca luptvā svapitarīśvare rājatvaṁ samarpayiṣyati|
25 For it is necessary for Him to reign until He may have put all the enemies under His feet.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya ripavaḥ sarvve yāvat tena svapādayoradho na nipātayiṣyante tāvat tenaiva rājatvaṁ karttavyaṁ|
26 The last enemy is done away with—death.
tena vijetavyo yaḥ śeṣaripuḥ sa mṛtyureva|
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,
likhitamāste sarvvāṇi tasya pādayo rvaśīkṛtāni| kintu sarvvāṇyeva tasya vaśīkṛtānītyukte sati sarvvāṇi yena tasya vaśīkṛtāni sa svayaṁ tasya vaśībhūto na jāta iti vyaktaṁ|
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.
sarvveṣu tasya vaśībhūteṣu sarvvāṇi yena putrasya vaśīkṛtāni svayaṁ putro'pi tasya vaśībhūto bhaviṣyati tata īśvaraḥ sarvveṣu sarvva eva bhaviṣyati|
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?
aparaṁ paretalokānāṁ vinimayena ye majjyante taiḥ kiṁ lapsyate? yeṣāṁ paretalokānām utthitiḥ kenāpi prakāreṇa na bhaviṣyati teṣāṁ vinimayena kuto majjanamapi tairaṅgīkriyate?
30 Why do we also stand in peril every hour?
vayamapi kutaḥ pratidaṇḍaṁ prāṇabhītim aṅgīkurmmahe?
31 I die every day, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
asmatprabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭena yuṣmatto mama yā ślāghāste tasyāḥ śapathaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmi dine dine'haṁ mṛtyuṁ gacchāmi|
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!
iphiṣanagare vanyapaśubhiḥ sārddhaṁ yadi laukikabhāvāt mayā yuddhaṁ kṛtaṁ tarhi tena mama ko lābhaḥ? mṛtānām utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi, kurmmo bhojanapāne'dya śvastu mṛtyu rbhaviṣyati|
33 Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
ityanena dharmmāt mā bhraṁśadhvaṁ| kusaṁsargeṇa lokānāṁ sadācāro vinaśyati|
34 wake up, as is right, and do not sin; for some have an ignorance of God; I say [it] to you for shame.
yūyaṁ yathocitaṁ sacaitanyāstiṣṭhata, pāpaṁ mā kurudhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākaṁ madhya īśvarīyajñānahīnāḥ ke'pi vidyante yuṣmākaṁ trapāyai mayedaṁ gadyate|
35 But someone will say, “How do the dead rise?”
aparaṁ mṛtalokāḥ katham utthāsyanti? kīdṛśaṁ vā śarīraṁ labdhvā punareṣyantīti vākyaṁ kaścit prakṣyati|
36 Unwise! You—what you sow is not quickened except it may die;
he ajña tvayā yad bījam upyate tad yadi na mriyeta tarhi na jīvayiṣyate|
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,
yayā mūrttyā nirgantavyaṁ sā tvayā nopyate kintu śuṣkaṁ bījameva; tacca godhūmādīnāṁ kimapi bījaṁ bhavituṁ śaknoti|
38 and God gives a body to it according as He willed, and its proper body to each of the seeds.
īśvareṇeva yathābhilāṣaṁ tasmai mūrtti rdīyate, ekaikasmai bījāya svā svā mūrttireva dīyate|
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;
sarvvāṇi palalāni naikavidhāni santi, manuṣyapaśupakṣimatsyādīnāṁ bhinnarūpāṇi palalāni santi|
40 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
aparaṁ svargīyā mūrttayaḥ pārthivā mūrttayaśca vidyante kintu svargīyānām ekarūpaṁ tejaḥ pārthivānāñca tadanyarūpaṁ tejo'sti|
41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star differs from star in glory.
sūryyasya teja ekavidhaṁ candrasya tejastadanyavidhaṁ tārāṇāñca tejo'nyavidhaṁ, tārāṇāṁ madhye'pi tejasastāratamyaṁ vidyate|
42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
tatra likhitamāste yathā, ‘ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva,’ kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
yad upyate tat tucchaṁ yaccotthāsyati tad gauravānvitaṁ; yad upyate tannirbbalaṁ yaccotthāsyati tat śaktiyuktaṁ|
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
yat śarīram upyate tat prāṇānāṁ sadma, yacca śarīram utthāsyati tad ātmanaḥ sadma| prāṇasadmasvarūpaṁ śarīraṁ vidyate, ātmasadmasvarūpamapi śarīraṁ vidyate|
45 so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
tatra likhitamāste yathā, ādipuruṣa ādam jīvatprāṇī babhūva, kintvantima ādam (khrīṣṭo) jīvanadāyaka ātmā babhūva|
46 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.
ātmasadma na prathamaṁ kintu prāṇasadmaiva tatpaścād ātmasadma|
47 The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;
ādyaḥ puruṣe mṛda utpannatvāt mṛṇmayo dvitīyaśca puruṣaḥ svargād āgataḥ prabhuḥ|
48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
mṛṇmayo yādṛśa āsīt mṛṇmayāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti svargīyaśca yādṛśo'sti svargīyāḥ sarvve tādṛśā bhavanti|
49 and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
mṛṇmayasya rūpaṁ yadvad asmābhi rdhāritaṁ tadvat svargīyasya rūpamapi dhārayiṣyate|
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.
he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmān prati vyāharāmi, īśvarasya rājye raktamāṁsayoradhikāro bhavituṁ na śaknoti, akṣayatve ca kṣayasyādhikāro na bhaviṣyati|
51 Behold, I tell you a secret: we indeed will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;
paśyatāhaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ nivedayāmi|
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;
sarvvairasmābhi rmahānidrā na gamiṣyate kintvantimadine tūryyāṁ vāditāyām ekasmin vipale nimiṣaikamadhye sarvvai rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyate, yatastūrī vādiṣyate, mṛtalokāścākṣayībhūtā utthāsyanti vayañca rūpāntaraṁ gamiṣyāmaḥ|
53 for it is necessary for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
yataḥ kṣayaṇīyenaitena śarīreṇākṣayatvaṁ parihitavyaṁ, maraṇādhīnenaitena dehena cāmaratvaṁ parihitavyaṁ|
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;
etasmin kṣayaṇīye śarīre 'kṣayatvaṁ gate, etasman maraṇādhīne dehe cāmaratvaṁ gate śāstre likhitaṁ vacanamidaṁ setsyati, yathā, jayena grasyate mṛtyuḥ|
mṛtyo te kaṇṭakaṁ kutra paraloka jayaḥ kka te|| (Hadēs g86)
56 And the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the Law;
mṛtyoḥ kaṇṭakaṁ pāpameva pāpasya ca balaṁ vyavasthā|
57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
īśvaraśca dhanyo bhavatu yataḥ so'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭenāsmān jayayuktān vidhāpayati|
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.
ato he mama priyabhrātaraḥ; yūyaṁ susthirā niścalāśca bhavata prabhoḥ sevāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ pariśramo niṣphalo na bhaviṣyatīti jñātvā prabhoḥ kāryye sadā tatparā bhavata|
