1Moreover[G1161], brethren[G80], I declare[G1107] unto you[G5213] the gospel[G2098]which[G3739] I preached[G2097] unto you[G5213], which[G3739]also[G2532] ye have received[G3880], and[G2532]wherein[G1722] ye stand[G2476];
2By[G1223]which[G3739]also[G2532] ye are saved[G4982], if[G1487] ye keep[G2722] in memory what[G5101] I preached[G2097] unto you[G5213], unless[G1622] ye have believed[G4100] in vain[G1500].
3For[G1063]I[G3880]delivered[G3860] unto you[G5213] first of all[G1722] that which[G3739]I[G3880]also[G2532]received[G3880], how[G3754] that Christ[G5547]died[G599]for[G5228]our[G2257]sins[G266]according[G2596] to the scriptures[G1124];
4And[G2532]that[G3754] he was buried[G2290], and[G2532]that[G3754] he rose again[G1453] the third[G5154]day[G2250]according[G2596] to the scriptures[G1124]:
5And[G2532]that[G3754] he was seen[G3700] of Cephas[G2786], then[G1534] of the twelve[G1427]:
6
After that[G1899], he was seen[G3700]of[G1537]above[G1883] five hundred[G4001]brethren[G80] at once[G2178]; of[G1537]whom[G3739] the greater part[G4119]remain[G3306]unto[G2193] this present[G737], but[G1161]some[G5100] are fallen asleep[G2837].
7
After that[G1899], he was seen[G3700] of James[G2385]; then[G1534] of all[G3956] the apostles[G652].
8And[G1161]last[G2078] of all[G3956] he was seen[G3700] of me also[G2504], as[G5619] of one born out of due time[G1626].
9For[G1063]I[G1473]am[G1510] the least[G1646] of the apostles[G652], that[G3739]am[G1510]not[G3756]meet[G2425] to be called[G2564] an apostle[G652], because[G1360]I[G1473]persecuted[G1377] the church[G1577] of God[G2316].
10But[G1161] by the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]I[G1473]am[G1510]what[G3739]I[G1473]am[G1510]: and[G2532]his[G846]grace[G5485]which[G3588]was[G1096] bestowed upon[G1519]me[G1691]was[G1096]not[G3756] in vain[G2756]; but[G235]I[G1473]laboured[G2872] more abundantly[G4054] than they[G846]all[G3956]: yet[G1161]not[G3756]I[G1473], but[G235] the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]which[G3588]was[G1096]with[G4862]me[G1698].
11Therefore[G3767]whether[G1535] it were I[G1473]or[G1535]they[G1565], so[G3779] we preach[G2784], and[G2532]so[G3779] ye believed[G4100].
12Now[G1161]if[G1487]Christ[G5547] be preached[G2784]that[G3754] he rose[G1453]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], how[G4459]say[G3004]some[G5100]among[G1722]you[G5213]that[G3754] there is[G2076]no[G3756]resurrection[G386] of the dead?[G3498]
13But[G1161]if[G1487] there be[G2076]no[G3756]resurrection[G386] of the dead[G3498], then[G3761]is[G1453]Christ[G5547]not[G3761]risen[G1453]:
15Yea[G1161], and[G2532] we are found[G2147] false witnesses[G5575]of[G2596]God[G2316]; because[G3754] we have testified[G3140]of[G2596]God[G2316]that[G3754] he raised[G1453]up[G1453]Christ[G5547]: whom[G3739] he raised[G1453]not[G3756]up[G1453], if[G1512] so be[G686]that[G3754] the dead[G3498]rise[G1453]not[G3756].
16For[G1063]if[G1487] the dead[G3498]rise[G1453]not[G3756], then is[G1453]not[G3761]Christ[G5547]raised[G1453]:
17And[G1161]if[G1487]Christ[G5547]be[G1453]not[G3756]raised[G1453], your[G5216]faith[G4102] is vain[G3152]; ye are[G2075]yet[G2089]in[G1722]your[G5216]sins[G266].
18Then[G686] they also[G2532] which are fallen asleep[G2837]in[G1722]Christ[G5547] are perished[G622].
19If[G1487]in[G1722]this[G5026]life[G2222]only[G3440] we have hope[G1679]in[G1722]Christ[G5547], we are[G2070] of all[G3956]men[G444] most miserable[G1652].
20But[G1161]now[G3570]is[G1453]Christ[G5547]risen[G1453]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], and become[G1096] the firstfruits[G536] of them that slept[G2837].
21For[G1063]since[G1894]by[G1223]man[G444] came death[G2288], by[G1223]man[G444] came also[G2532] the resurrection[G386] of the dead[G3498].
22For[G1063]as[G5618]in[G1722]Adam[G76]all[G3956]die[G599], even[G2532]so[G3779]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]shall[G2227]all[G3956] be made alive[G2227].
23But[G1161] every man[G1538]in[G1722]his[G846]own[G2398]order[G5001]: Christ[G5547] the firstfruits[G536]; afterward[G1899] they that are[G3588]Christ[G5547]'s at[G1722]his[G846]coming[G3952].
24Then[G1534] cometh the end[G5056], when[G3752] he shall have delivered up[G3860] the kingdom[G932] to God[G2316], even[G2532] the Father[G3962]; when[G3752] he shall have put down[G2673]all[G3956]rule[G746]and[G2532]all[G3956]authority[G1849]and[G2532]power[G1411].
26
The last[G2078]enemy[G2190] that shall be destroyed[G2673] is death[G2288].
27For[G1063] he hath put[G5293] all things[G3956]under[G5259]his[G846]feet[G4228]. But[G1161]when[G3752] he saith[G2036] all things[G3956] are put[G5293]under[G5293]him[G846], it is manifest[G1212]that[G3754] he is excepted[G1622], which did put[G5293] all things[G3956]under[G5293]him[G846].
28And[G1161]when[G3752]all[G3956]things[G3956]shall[G5293]be[G5600]subdued[G5293] unto him[G846], then[G5119]shall[G5293] the Son[G5207]also[G2532]himself[G846]be[G5600]subject[G5293] unto him[G846]that[G2443]put[G5293]all[G3956]things[G3956]under[G5293]him[G846], that[G2443]God[G2316] may be[G5600]all[G3956]in[G1722]all[G3956].
29Else[G1893]what[G5101] shall they do[G4160] which are baptized[G907]for[G5228] the dead[G3498], if[G1487] the dead[G3498]rise[G1453]not[G3756] at all?[G3654]why[G5101] are they then baptized[G907]for[G5228] the dead?[G3498]
30And[G2532]why[G5101]stand[G2793]we[G2249] in jeopardy[G2793]every[G3956]hour?[G5610]
31
I protest by[G3513]your[G5212]rejoicing[G2251]which[G3739] I have[G2192]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]our[G2257]Lord[G2962], I die[G599]daily[G2596].
32If[G1487] after the manner[G2596] of men[G444] I have fought with beasts[G2341]at[G1722]Ephesus[G2181], what[G5101] advantageth it[G3786]me[G3427], if[G1487] the dead[G3498]rise[G1453]not?[G3756] let us eat[G5315]and[G2532]drink[G4095]; for[G1063] to morrow[G839] we die[G599].
34Awake[G1594]to[G4314]righteousness[G1346], and[G2532]sin[G264]not[G3361]; for[G1063]some[G5100]have[G2192]not[G3361] the knowledge[G56] of God[G2316]: I speak[G3004] this to[G4314]your[G5213]shame[G1791].
35But[G235]some[G5100] man will say[G2046], How[G4459]are[G1453] the dead[G3498] raised up?[G1453]and[G1161] with what[G4169]body[G4983] do they come?[G2064]
36Thou[G4771]fool[G878], that which[G3739]thou[G4771]sowest[G4687]is[G2227]not[G3756]quickened[G2227], except[G3362] it die[G599]:
37And[G2532] that which[G3739] thou sowest[G4687], thou sowest[G4687]not[G3756] that body[G4983] that shall be[G1096], but[G235]bare[G1131]grain[G2848], it may chance[G1487] of wheat[G4621], or[G2228] of some[G5100]other[G3062]grain[G2848]:
38But[G1161]God[G2316]giveth[G1325]it[G846] a body[G4983]as[G2531]it[G846] hath pleased him[G2309], and[G2532] to every[G1538]seed[G4690] his own[G2398]body[G4983].
39All[G3956]flesh[G4561] is not[G3756] the same[G846]flesh[G4561]: but[G235] there is one[G243] kind of flesh[G4561] of men[G444], another[G243]flesh[G4561] of beasts[G2934], another[G243] of fishes[G2486], and[G1161]another[G243] of birds[G4421].
40
There are also[G2532]celestial[G2032]bodies[G4983], and[G2532]bodies[G4983]terrestrial[G1919]: but[G235] the glory[G1391] of the celestial[G2032] is one[G2087], and[G1161] the glory[G1391] of the terrestrial[G1919] is another[G2087].
41
There is one[G243]glory[G1391] of the sun[G2246], and[G2532]another[G243]glory[G1391] of the moon[G4582], and[G2532]another[G243]glory[G1391] of the stars[G792]: for[G1063]one[G243]star[G792] differeth from[G1308]another[G243]star[G792]in[G1722]glory[G1391].
42So[G3779]also[G2532] is the resurrection[G386] of the dead[G3498]. It is sown[G4687]in[G1722]corruption[G5356]; it is raised[G1453]in[G1722]incorruption[G861]:
43
It is sown[G4687]in[G1722]dishonour[G819]; it is raised[G1453]in[G1722]glory[G1391]: it is sown[G4687]in[G1722]weakness[G769]; it is raised[G1453]in[G1722]power[G1411]:
44
It is[G2076]sown[G4687] a natural[G5591]body[G4983]; it is[G2076]raised[G1453] a spiritual[G4152]body[G4983]. There is[G2076] a natural[G5591]body[G4983], and[G2532] there is[G2076] a spiritual[G4152]body[G4983].
45And[G2532]so[G3779] it is written[G1125], The first[G4413]man[G444]Adam[G76] was made[G1096] a living[G2198]soul[G5590]; the last[G2078]Adam[G76] was made[G1519] a quickening[G2227]spirit[G4151].
46Howbeit[G235] that was not[G3756]first[G4412] which is spiritual[G4152], but[G235] that which is natural[G5591]; and afterward[G1899] that which is spiritual[G4152].
47
The first[G4413]man[G444] is of[G1537] the earth[G1093], earthy[G5517]: the second[G1208]man[G444] is the Lord[G2962]from[G1537]heaven[G3772].
48As[G3634]is[G3634] the earthy[G5517], such[G5108] are they[G2032]also[G2532] that are earthy[G5517]: and[G2532]as[G3634]is[G3634] the heavenly[G2032], such[G5108] are they[G2032]also[G2532] that are heavenly[G2032].
49And[G2532]as[G2531] we have borne[G5409] the image[G1504] of the earthy[G5517], we shall[G5409]also[G2532]bear[G5409] the image[G1504] of the heavenly[G2032].
50Now[G1161]this[G5124] I say[G5346], brethren[G80], that[G3754]flesh[G4561]and[G2532]blood[G129]cannot[G3756]inherit[G2816] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316]; neither[G3761]doth[G2816]corruption[G5356]inherit[G2816]incorruption[G861].
51Behold[G2400], I shew[G3004]you[G5213] a mystery[G3466]; We shall[G2837]not[G3756]all[G3956]sleep[G2837], but[G1161] we shall[G236]all[G3303] be changed[G236],
52In[G1722] a moment[G823], in[G1722] the twinkling[G4493] of an eye[G3788], at[G1722] the last[G2078]trump[G4536]: for[G1063] the trumpet shall sound[G4537], and[G2532] the dead[G3498] shall be raised[G1453]incorruptible[G862], and[G2532]we[G2249] shall be changed[G236].
53For[G1063]this[G5124]corruptible[G5349]must[G1163] put on[G1746]incorruption[G861], and[G2532]this[G5124]mortal[G2349]must[G1163] put on[G1746]immortality[G110].
54So[G1161]when[G3752]this[G5124]corruptible[G5349] shall have put on[G1746]incorruption[G861], and[G2532]this[G5124]mortal[G2349] shall have put on[G1746]immortality[G110], then[G5119] shall be brought to pass[G1096] the saying[G3056] that is written[G1125], Death[G2288] is swallowed up[G2666]in[G1519]victory[G3534].
55
O death[G2288], where[G4226] is thy[G4675]sting?[G2759] O grave[G86], where[G4226] is thy[G4675]victory?[G3534]
56
The sting[G2759] of death[G2288] is sin[G266]; and[G1161] the strength[G1411] of sin[G266] is the law[G3551].
57But[G1161]thanks[G5485] be to God[G2316], which[G3588]giveth[G1325]us[G2254] the victory[G3534]through[G1223]our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547].
58Therefore[G5620], my[G3450]beloved[G27]brethren[G80], be ye[G1096]stedfast[G1476], unmoveable[G277], always[G3842]abounding[G4052]in[G1722] the work[G2041] of the Lord[G2962], forasmuch as ye[G1096]know[G1492]that[G3754]your[G5216]labour[G2873]is[G2076]not[G3756]in[G1722]vain[G2756]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962].
