1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I remind you, brothers, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον ο ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ο και παρελαβετε εν ω και εστηκατε
2 It is by this gospel that you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached 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 of first importance 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 that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
και οτι εταφη και οτι εγηγερται τη τριτη ημερα κατα τας γραφας
5 Christ appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve;
και οτι ωφθη κηφα ειτα τοις δωδεκα
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. Most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοις αδελφοις εφαπαξ εξ ων οι πλειους μενουσιν εως αρτι τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
επειτα ωφθη ιακωβω ειτα τοις αποστολοις πασιν
8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι
9 For I am the least of the apostles. I am unworthy 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 was not in vain. Instead, I worked harder than all of them. Yet it was 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 Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
ειτε ουν εγω ειτε εκεινοι ουτως κηρυσσομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say 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 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;
ει δε αναστασις νεκρων ουκ εστιν ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται κενον αρα το κηρυγμα ημων κενη δε και η πιστις υμων
15 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God, saying he raised up Christ when he did not.
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 are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
ει γαρ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται ουδε χριστος εγηγερται
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins.
ει δε χριστος ουκ εγηγερται ματαια η πιστις υμων ετι εστε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
18 Then those who have died in Christ have also perished.
αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν χριστω απωλοντο
19 If only in this life we have hope in Christ, of all people we are most to be pitied.
ει εν τη ζωη ταυτη ηλπικοτες εσμεν εν χριστω μονον ελεεινοτεροι παντων ανθρωπων εσμεν
20 But now Christ, who is the firstfruits of those who died, has been raised from the dead.
νυνι δε χριστος εγηγερται εκ νεκρων απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων εγενετο
21 For since death came by a man, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
επειδη γαρ δι ανθρωπου ο θανατος και δι ανθρωπου αναστασις νεκρων
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
ωσπερ γαρ εν τω αδαμ παντες αποθνησκουσιν ουτως και εν τω χριστω παντες ζωοποιηθησονται
23 But each in his own order: Christ, who is the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made alive at his coming.
εκαστος δε εν τω ιδιω ταγματι απαρχη χριστος επειτα οι χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
24 Then will be the end, when Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish all rule 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 he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρις ου αν θη παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος
27 For “he has put everything under his feet.” But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to himself.
παντα γαρ υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου οταν δε ειπη οτι παντα υποτετακται δηλον οτι εκτος του υποταξαντος αυτω τα παντα
28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who put all things into subjection under him, 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 Or else what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they baptized for them?
επει τι ποιησουσιν οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων ει ολως νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων
30 Why then, are we in danger every hour?
τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν
31 Every day I face death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
καθ ημεραν αποθνησκω νη την υμετεραν καυχησιν ην εχω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
32 What do I gain, from a human point of view, if I fought with beasts at Ephesus, if the dead are not raised? “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 Be not deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
μη πλανασθε φθειρουσιν ηθη χρησθ ομιλιαι κακαι
34 Sober up! Live righteously! Do not keep sinning. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
εκνηψατε δικαιως και μη αμαρτανετε αγνωσιαν γαρ θεου τινες εχουσιν προς εντροπην υμιν λεγω
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body will they come?”
αλλ ερει τις πως εγειρονται οι νεκροι ποιω δε σωματι ερχονται
36 You are so ignorant! What you sow will not start to grow unless it dies.
αφρον συ ο σπειρεις ου ζωοποιειται εαν μη αποθανη
37 What you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed. It may become wheat or something else.
και ο σπειρεις ου το σωμα το γενησομενον σπειρεις αλλα γυμνον κοκκον ει τυχοι σιτου η τινος των λοιπων
38 But God will give it a body as he chooses, and to each seed its own body.
ο δε θεος αυτω διδωσιν σωμα καθως ηθελησεν και εκαστω των σπερματων το ιδιον σωμα
39 Not all flesh is the same. Instead, there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh for animals, and another flesh for birds, and another for fish.
ου πασα σαρξ η αυτη σαρξ αλλα αλλη μεν σαρξ ανθρωπων αλλη δε σαρξ κτηνων αλλη δε ιχθυων αλλη δε πτηνων
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly body is one kind and the glory of the earthly is another.
και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια αλλ ετερα μεν η των επουρανιων δοξα ετερα δε η των επιγειων
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars. For one star differs from another 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. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable.
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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
σπειρεται σωμα ψυχικον εγειρεται σωμα πνευματικον εστιν σωμα ψυχικον και εστιν σωμα πνευματικον
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
ουτως και γεγραπται εγενετο ο πρωτος ανθρωπος αδαμ εις ψυχην ζωσαν ο εσχατος αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν
46 But the spiritual did not come first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
αλλ ου πρωτον το πνευματικον αλλα το ψυχικον επειτα το πνευματικον
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is from heaven.
ο πρωτος ανθρωπος εκ γης χοικος ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο κυριος εξ ουρανου
48 Just as the one made from dust is, so also are those who are made of the dust, and as the man of heaven is, so also are those who are of heaven.
οιος ο χοικος τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι και οιος ο επουρανιος τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι
49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου φορεσομεν και την εικονα του επουρανιου
50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν θεου κληρονομησαι ου δυνανται ουδε η φθορα την αφθαρσιαν κληρονομει
51 Look! I tell you a secret truth: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.
ιδου μυστηριον υμιν λεγω παντες μεν ου κοιμηθησομεθα παντες δε αλλαγησομεθα
52 We will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, 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 this perishable body must put on what is imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
δει γαρ το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αθανασιαν
54 But when this perishable body has put on what is imperishable, and when this mortal body has put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “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 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 gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
τω δε θεω χαρις τω διδοντι ημιν το νικος δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always abound in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is not in 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
