Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 15
1 γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον ο ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ο και παρελαβετε εν ω και εστηκατε
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
2 δι ου και σωζεσθε τινι λογω ευηγγελισαμην υμιν ει κατεχετε εκτοσ ει μη εικη επιστευσατε
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.
3 παρεδωκα γαρ υμιν εν πρωτοισ ο και παρελαβον οτι χριστοσ απεθανεν υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων κατα τασ γραφασ
For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4 και οτι εταφη και οτι εγηγερται τη τριτη ημερα κατα τασ γραφασ
and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 και οτι ωφθη κηφα ειτα τοισ δωδεκα
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 επειτα ωφθη επανω πεντακοσιοισ αδελφοισ εφαπαξ εξ ων οι πλειουσ μενουσιν εωσ αρτι τινεσ δε και εκοιμηθησαν
Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
7 επειτα ωφθη ιακωβω ειτα τοισ αποστολοισ πασιν
Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 εσχατον δε παντων ωσπερει τω εκτρωματι ωφθη καμοι
and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to me also.
9 εγω γαρ ειμι ο ελαχιστοσ των αποστολων οσ ουκ ειμι ικανοσ καλεισθαι αποστολοσ διοτι εδιωξα την εκκλησιαν του θεου
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
10 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
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.
11 ειτε ουν εγω ειτε εκεινοι ουτωσ κηρυσσομεν και ουτωσ επιστευσατε
Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
12 ει δε χριστοσ κηρυσσεται οτι εκ νεκρων εγηγερται πωσ λεγουσιν τινεσ εν υμιν οτι αναστασισ νεκρων ουκ εστιν
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?
13 ει δε αναστασισ νεκρων ουκ εστιν ουδε χριστοσ εγηγερται
But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
14 ει δε χριστοσ ουκ εγηγερται κενον αρα το κηρυγμα ημων κενη δε και η πιστισ υμων
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 ευρισκομεθα δε και ψευδομαρτυρεσ του θεου οτι εμαρτυρησαμεν κατα του θεου οτι ηγειρεν τον χριστον ον ουκ ηγειρεν ειπερ αρα νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται
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.
16 ει γαρ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται ουδε χριστοσ εγηγερται
For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
17 ει δε χριστοσ ουκ εγηγερται ματαια η πιστισ υμων ετι εστε εν ταισ αμαρτιαισ υμων
but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 αρα και οι κοιμηθεντεσ εν χριστω απωλοντο
Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 ει εν τη ζωη ταυτη ηλπικοτεσ εσμεν εν χριστω μονον ελεεινοτεροι παντων ανθρωπων εσμεν
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
20 νυνι δε χριστοσ εγηγερται εκ νεκρων απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων εγενετο
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
21 επειδη γαρ δι ανθρωπου ο θανατοσ και δι ανθρωπου αναστασισ νεκρων
For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
22 ωσπερ γαρ εν τω αδαμ παντεσ αποθνησκουσιν ουτωσ και εν τω χριστω παντεσ ζωοποιηθησονται
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
23 εκαστοσ δε εν τω ιδιω ταγματι απαρχη χριστοσ επειτα οι του χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
24 ειτα το τελοσ οταν παραδω την βασιλειαν τω θεω και πατρι οταν καταργηση πασαν αρχην και πασαν εξουσιαν και δυναμιν
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.
25 δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρι ου αν θη παντασ τουσ εχθρουσ υπο τουσ ποδασ αυτου
For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
26 εσχατοσ εχθροσ καταργειται ο θανατοσ
[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
27 παντα γαρ υπεταξεν υπο τουσ ποδασ αυτου οταν δε ειπη οτι παντα υποτετακται δηλον οτι εκτοσ του υποταξαντοσ αυτω τα παντα
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.
28 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
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.)
29 επει τι ποιησουσιν οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων ει ολωσ νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων
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?
30 τι και ημεισ κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν
Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?
31 καθ ημεραν αποθνησκω νη την υμετεραν καυχησιν ην εχω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 ει κατα ανθρωπον εθηριομαχησα εν εφεσω τι μοι το οφελοσ ει νεκροι ουκ εγειρονται φαγωμεν και πιωμεν αυριον γαρ αποθνησκομεν
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.
33 μη πλανασθε φθειρουσιν ηθη χρηστα ομιλιαι κακαι
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 εκνηψατε δικαιωσ και μη αμαρτανετε αγνωσιαν γαρ θεου τινεσ εχουσιν προσ εντροπην υμιν λεγω
Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
35 αλλ ερει τισ πωσ εγειρονται οι νεκροι ποιω δε σωματι ερχονται
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 αφρον συ ο σπειρεισ ου ζωοποιειται εαν μη αποθανη
Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die.
37 και ο σπειρεισ ου το σωμα το γενησομενον σπειρεισ αλλα γυμνον κοκκον ει τυχοι σιτου η τινοσ των λοιπων
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:
38 ο δε θεοσ αυτω διδωσιν σωμα καθωσ ηθελησεν και εκαστω των σπερματων το ιδιον σωμα
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 ου πασα σαρξ η αυτη σαρξ αλλα αλλη μεν ανθρωπων αλλη δε σαρξ κτηνων αλλη δε ιχθυων αλλη δε πτηνων
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.
40 και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια αλλ ετερα μεν η των επουρανιων δοξα ετερα δε η των επιγειων
And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
41 αλλη δοξα ηλιου και αλλη δοξα σεληνησ και αλλη δοξα αστερων αστηρ γαρ αστεροσ διαφερει εν δοξη
one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
42 ουτωσ και η αναστασισ των νεκρων σπειρεται εν φθορα εγειρεται εν αφθαρσια
Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
43 σπειρεται εν ατιμια εγειρεται εν δοξη σπειρεται εν ασθενεια εγειρεται εν δυναμει
It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44 σπειρεται σωμα ψυχικον εγειρεται σωμα πνευματικον εστιν σωμα ψυχικον και εστιν σωμα πνευματικον
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
45 ουτωσ και γεγραπται εγενετο ο πρωτοσ ανθρωποσ αδαμ εισ ψυχην ζωσαν ο εσχατοσ αδαμ εισ πνευμα ζωοποιουν
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46 αλλ ου πρωτον το πνευματικον αλλα το ψυχικον επειτα το πνευματικον
But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
47 ο πρωτοσ ανθρωποσ εκ γησ χοικοσ ο δευτεροσ ανθρωποσ ο κυριοσ εξ ουρανου
the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
48 οιοσ ο χοικοσ τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι και οιοσ ο επουρανιοσ τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
49 και καθωσ εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου φορεσωμεν και την εικονα του επουρανιου
And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
50 τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν θεου κληρονομησαι ου δυνανται ουδε η φθορα την αφθαρσιαν κληρονομει
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
51 ιδου μυστηριον υμιν λεγω παντεσ μεν ου κοιμηθησομεθα παντεσ δε αλλαγησομεθα
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 εν ατομω εν ριπη οφθαλμου εν τη εσχατη σαλπιγγι σαλπισει γαρ και οι νεκροι εγερθησονται αφθαρτοι και ημεισ αλλαγησομεθα
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.
53 δει γαρ το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσασθαι αθανασιαν
For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 οταν δε το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυσηται αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυσηται αθανασιαν τοτε γενησεται ο λογοσ ο γεγραμμενοσ κατεποθη ο θανατοσ εισ νικοσ
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.
Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 το δε κεντρον του θανατου η αμαρτια η δε δυναμισ τησ αμαρτιασ ο νομοσ
Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
57 τω δε θεω χαρισ τω διδοντι ημιν το νικοσ δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εδραιοι γινεσθε αμετακινητοι περισσευοντεσ εν τω εργω του κυριου παντοτε ειδοτεσ οτι ο κοποσ υμων ουκ εστιν κενοσ εν κυριω
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.
