1 Corinthians 15:12-32

12ButG1161 ifG1487 it is preachedG2784 thatG3754 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, howG4459 can someG5100 ofG1722 youG4771 sayG3004 thatG3754 there isG1510 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498? 13IfG1487 there isG1510 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453. 14AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG3756G1453, ourG1473 preachingG2782 is worthlessG2756, andG2532 so is yourG4771 faithG4102. 15In that caseG1161, we are also exposed asG2532G2147 false witnessesG5575 about GodG2316. ForG3754 we have testifiedG3140 aboutG2596 GodG2316 thatG3754 He raisedG1453 Christ from the deadG5547, but He did not raiseG3756G1453 Him ifG1512 in factG686 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453.

16ForG1063 ifG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453. 17AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG3756G1453, yourG4771 faithG4102 isG1510 futileG3152; you areG1510 stillG2089 inG1722 yourG4771 sinsG266. 18ThenG686 thoseG3588 alsoG2532 who have fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 have perishedG622. 19IfG1487 ourG1510 hopeG1679 inG1722 ChristG5547 is forG1722 thisG3778 lifeG2222 aloneG3440, we areG1510 to be pitied moreG1652 than allG3956 menG444.

20ButG1161 ChristG5547 has indeedG3570 been raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, the firstfruitsG536 of those whoG3588 have fallen asleepG2837. 21ForG1063 sinceG1894 deathG2288 came throughG1223 a manG444, the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 comes alsoG2532 throughG1223 a manG444. 22For asG5618 inG1722 AdamG76 allG3956 dieG599, soG3779G2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 allG3956 will be made aliveG2227. 23ButG1161 eachG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 turnG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; thenG1899 atG1722 HisG846 comingG3952, thoseG3588 who belong toG3588 Him.

24ThenG1534 theG3588 endG5056 will come, whenG3752 He hands overG3860 theG3588 kingdomG932 to GodG2316 the FatherG3962 afterG3752 He has destroyedG2673 allG3956 dominionG746, authorityG1849, andG2532 powerG1411. 25ForG1063 HeG846 mustG1163 reignG936 untilG891G3739 He has putG5087 allG3956 His enemiesG2190 underG5259 HisG846 feetG4228. 26The lastG2078 enemyG2190 to be destroyedG2673 is deathG2288. 27ForG1063 “God has putG5293 everythingG3956 underG5259 HisG846 feetG4228.”1 NowG1161 whenG3752 it saysG2036 thatG3754 everythingG3956 has been put under HimG5293, thisG3754 clearlyG1212 does not includeG1622 theG3588 One who put everything underG5293G3588G3956 HimG846. 28AndG1161 whenG3752 all thingsG3956 have been subjected toG5293 HimG846, thenG5119 theG3588 SonG5207 HimselfG846 will be made subjectG5293 to Him whoG3588 putG5293 all thingsG3956 under HimG846, so thatG2443 GodG2316 may beG1510 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.

29If these things are not soG1893, whatG5101 will those doG4160 whoG3588 are baptizedG907 forG5228 theG3588 deadG3498? IfG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453 at allG3654, whyG5101 are people baptizedG907 forG5228 themG846? 30AndG2532 whyG5101 do weG1473 endanger ourselvesG2793 everyG3956 hourG5610? 31I face deathG599 everyG2596 dayG2250, brothersG80, as surely asG3513 I boastG2192G2746 about youG5212 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG1473 LordG2962. 32IfG1487 I fought wild beastsG2341 inG1722 EphesusG2181 forG2596 humanG444 motives, whatG5101 did I gainG3786G1473? IfG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453,
