The Resurrection of Christ
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
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.
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.
Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
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.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
The Resurrection of the Dead
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?
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?
The Risen Christ, Our Hope
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.
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.
Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up — if in fact the dead do not rise.
For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.
but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
The Order of Resurrection
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.
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.
Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
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.
For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
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.)
Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
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?
Effects of Denying the Resurrection
Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?
Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?
Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?
Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
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.
If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
The Resurrection Body
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
A Glorious Body
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.
Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
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:
And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain — perhaps wheat or some other grain.
and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
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.
And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
Where O Death is Your Victory?
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
Our Final Victory
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
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.
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
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.
So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?
Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
