1 he bhrAtaraH, yaH susaMvAdo mayA yuShmatsamIpe nivedito yUya ncha yaM gR^ihItavanta Ashritavantashcha taM puna ryuShmAn vij nApayAmi|
Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
2 yuShmAkaM vishvAso yadi vitatho na bhavet tarhi susaMvAdayuktAni mama vAkyAni smaratAM yuShmAkaM tena susaMvAdena paritrANaM jAyate|
by which also ye are saved; [I make known, I say], in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye believed in vain.
3 yato. ahaM yad yat j nApitastadanusArAt yuShmAsu mukhyAM yAM shikShAM samArpayaM seyaM, shAstrAnusArAt khrIShTo. asmAkaM pApamochanArthaM prANAn tyaktavAn,
For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 shmashAne sthApitashcha tR^itIyadine shAstrAnusArAt punarutthApitaH|
and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
5 sa chAgre kaiphai tataH paraM dvAdashashiShyebhyo darshanaM dattavAn|
and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
6 tataH paraM pa nchashatAdhikasaMkhyakebhyo bhrAtR^ibhyo yugapad darshanaM dattavAn teShAM kechit mahAnidrAM gatA bahutarAshchAdyApi varttante|
then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
7 tadanantaraM yAkUbAya tatpashchAt sarvvebhyaH preritebhyo darshanaM dattavAn|
then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 sarvvasheShe. akAlajAtatulyo yo. ahaM, so. ahamapi tasya darshanaM prAptavAn|
and last of all, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to me also.
9 Ishvarasya samitiM prati daurAtmyAcharaNAd ahaM preritanAma dharttum ayogyastasmAt preritAnAM madhye kShudratamashchAsmi|
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 yAdR^isho. asmi tAdR^isha IshvarasyAnugraheNaivAsmi; aparaM mAM prati tasyAnugraho niShphalo nAbhavat, anyebhyaH sarvvebhyo mayAdhikaH shramaH kR^itaH, kintu sa mayA kR^itastannahi matsahakAriNeshvarasyAnugraheNaiva|
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 ataeva mayA bhavet tai rvA bhavet asmAbhistAdR^ishI vArttA ghoShyate saiva cha yuShmAbhi rvishvAsena gR^ihItA|
Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 mR^ityudashAtaH khrIShTa utthApita iti vArttA yadi tamadhi ghoShyate tarhi mR^italokAnAm utthiti rnAstIti vAg yuShmAkaM madhye kaishchit kutaH kathyate?
Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 mR^itAnAm utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi khrIShTo. api notthApitaH
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
14 khrIShTashcha yadyanutthApitaH syAt tarhyasmAkaM ghoShaNaM vitathaM yuShmAkaM vishvAso. api vitathaH|
and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
15 vaya ncheshvarasya mR^iShAsAkShiNo bhavAmaH, yataH khrIShTa stenotthApitaH iti sAkShyam asmAbhirIshvaramadhi dattaM kintu mR^itAnAmutthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi sa tena notthApitaH|
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
16 yato mR^itAnAmutthiti ryati na bhavet tarhi khrIShTo. apyutthApitatvaM na gataH|
For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
17 khrIShTasya yadyanutthApitaH syAt tarhi yuShmAkaM vishvAso vitathaH, yUyam adyApi svapApeShu magnAstiShThatha|
and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 aparaM khrIShTAshritA ye mAnavA mahAnidrAM gatAste. api nAshaM gatAH|
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 khrIShTo yadi kevalamihaloke. asmAkaM pratyAshAbhUmiH syAt tarhi sarvvamartyebhyo vayameva durbhAgyAH|
If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 idAnIM khrIShTo mR^ityudashAta utthApito mahAnidrAgatAnAM madhye prathamaphalasvarUpo jAtashcha|
But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
21 yato yadvat mAnuShadvArA mR^ityuH prAdurbhUtastadvat mAnuShadvArA mR^itAnAM punarutthitirapi pradurbhUtA|
For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 AdamA yathA sarvve maraNAdhInA jAtAstathA khrIShTena sarvve jIvayiShyante|
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 kintvekaikena janena nije nije paryyAya utthAtavyaM prathamataH prathamajAtaphalasvarUpena khrIShTena, dvitIyatastasyAgamanasamaye khrIShTasya lokaiH|
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
24 tataH param anto bhaviShyati tadAnIM sa sarvvaM shAsanam adhipatitvaM parAkrama ncha luptvA svapitarIshvare rAjatvaM samarpayiShyati|
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 yataH khrIShTasya ripavaH sarvve yAvat tena svapAdayoradho na nipAtayiShyante tAvat tenaiva rAjatvaM karttavyaM|
For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26 tena vijetavyo yaH sheSharipuH sa mR^ityureva|
The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
27 likhitamAste sarvvANi tasya pAdayo rvashIkR^itAni| kintu sarvvANyeva tasya vashIkR^itAnItyukte sati sarvvANi yena tasya vashIkR^itAni sa svayaM tasya vashIbhUto na jAta iti vyaktaM|
For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
28 sarvveShu tasya vashIbhUteShu sarvvANi yena putrasya vashIkR^itAni svayaM putro. api tasya vashIbhUto bhaviShyati tata IshvaraH sarvveShu sarvva eva bhaviShyati|
And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
29 aparaM paretalokAnAM vinimayena ye majjyante taiH kiM lapsyate? yeShAM paretalokAnAm utthitiH kenApi prakAreNa na bhaviShyati teShAM vinimayena kuto majjanamapi taira NgIkriyate?
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30 vayamapi kutaH pratidaNDaM prANabhItim a NgIkurmmahe?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 asmatprabhunA yIshukhrIShTena yuShmatto mama yA shlAghAste tasyAH shapathaM kR^itvA kathayAmi dine dine. ahaM mR^ityuM gachChAmi|
I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 iphiShanagare vanyapashubhiH sArddhaM yadi laukikabhAvAt mayA yuddhaM kR^itaM tarhi tena mama ko lAbhaH? mR^itAnAm utthiti ryadi na bhavet tarhi, kurmmo bhojanapAne. adya shvastu mR^ityu rbhaviShyati|
If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
33 ityanena dharmmAt mA bhraMshadhvaM| kusaMsargeNa lokAnAM sadAchAro vinashyati|
Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
34 yUyaM yathochitaM sachaitanyAstiShThata, pApaM mA kurudhvaM, yato yuShmAkaM madhya IshvarIyaj nAnahInAH ke. api vidyante yuShmAkaM trapAyai mayedaM gadyate|
Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
35 aparaM mR^italokAH katham utthAsyanti? kIdR^ishaM vA sharIraM labdhvA punareShyantIti vAkyaM kashchit prakShyati|
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
36 he aj na tvayA yad bIjam upyate tad yadi na mriyeta tarhi na jIvayiShyate|
Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 yayA mUrttyA nirgantavyaM sA tvayA nopyate kintu shuShkaM bIjameva; tachcha godhUmAdInAM kimapi bIjaM bhavituM shaknoti|
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
38 IshvareNeva yathAbhilAShaM tasmai mUrtti rdIyate, ekaikasmai bIjAya svA svA mUrttireva dIyate|
but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 sarvvANi palalAni naikavidhAni santi, manuShyapashupakShimatsyAdInAM bhinnarUpANi palalAni santi|
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
40 aparaM svargIyA mUrttayaH pArthivA mUrttayashcha vidyante kintu svargIyAnAm ekarUpaM tejaH pArthivAnA ncha tadanyarUpaM tejo. asti|
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
41 sUryyasya teja ekavidhaM chandrasya tejastadanyavidhaM tArANA ncha tejo. anyavidhaM, tArANAM madhye. api tejasastAratamyaM vidyate|
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.
42 tatra likhitamAste yathA, ‘AdipuruSha Adam jIvatprANI babhUva, ` kintvantima Adam (khrIShTo) jIvanadAyaka AtmA babhUva|
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 yad upyate tat tuchChaM yachchotthAsyati tad gauravAnvitaM; yad upyate tannirbbalaM yachchotthAsyati tat shaktiyuktaM|
it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 yat sharIram upyate tat prANAnAM sadma, yachcha sharIram utthAsyati tad AtmanaH sadma| prANasadmasvarUpaM sharIraM vidyate, AtmasadmasvarUpamapi sharIraM vidyate|
it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body].
45 tatra likhitamAste yathA, AdipuruSha Adam jIvatprANI babhUva, kintvantima Adam (khrIShTo) jIvanadAyaka AtmA babhUva|
So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
46 Atmasadma na prathamaM kintu prANasadmaiva tatpashchAd Atmasadma|
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
47 AdyaH puruShe mR^ida utpannatvAt mR^iNmayo dvitIyashcha puruShaH svargAd AgataH prabhuH|
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
48 mR^iNmayo yAdR^isha AsIt mR^iNmayAH sarvve tAdR^ishA bhavanti svargIyashcha yAdR^isho. asti svargIyAH sarvve tAdR^ishA bhavanti|
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 mR^iNmayasya rUpaM yadvad asmAbhi rdhAritaM tadvat svargIyasya rUpamapi dhArayiShyate|
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 he bhrAtaraH, yuShmAn prati vyAharAmi, Ishvarasya rAjye raktamAMsayoradhikAro bhavituM na shaknoti, akShayatve cha kShayasyAdhikAro na bhaviShyati|
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 pashyatAhaM yuShmabhyaM nigUDhAM kathAM nivedayAmi|
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 sarvvairasmAbhi rmahAnidrA na gamiShyate kintvantimadine tUryyAM vAditAyAm ekasmin vipale nimiShaikamadhye sarvvai rUpAntaraM gamiShyate, yatastUrI vAdiShyate, mR^italokAshchAkShayIbhUtA utthAsyanti vaya ncha rUpAntaraM gamiShyAmaH|
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.
53 yataH kShayaNIyenaitena sharIreNAkShayatvaM parihitavyaM, maraNAdhInenaitena dehena chAmaratvaM parihitavyaM|
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 etasmin kShayaNIye sharIre. akShayatvaM gate, etasman maraNAdhIne dehe chAmaratvaM gate shAstre likhitaM vachanamidaM setsyati, yathA, jayena grasyate mR^ityuH|
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? (Hadēs g86)
56 mR^ityoH kaNTakaM pApameva pApasya cha balaM vyavasthA|
The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
57 Ishvarashcha dhanyo bhavatu yataH so. asmAkaM prabhunA yIshukhrIShTenAsmAn jayayuktAn vidhApayati|
but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 ato he mama priyabhrAtaraH; yUyaM susthirA nishchalAshcha bhavata prabhoH sevAyAM yuShmAkaM parishramo niShphalo na bhaviShyatIti j nAtvA prabhoH kAryye sadA tatparA bhavata|
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
