1 Corinthians 15:22-49

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,

33Do notG3361 be deceivedG4105: “BadG2556 companyG3657 corruptsG5351 goodG5543 characterG2239.”3 34Sober upG1594 as you oughtG1346, andG2532 stop sinningG3361G264; forG1063 someG5100 of you are ignorantG2192G56 of GodG2316. I say thisG2980 toG4314 yourG4771 shameG1791.

35ButG235 someoneG5100 will askG2046, “HowG4459 are theG3588 deadG3498 raisedG1453? With what kindG4169 of bodyG4983 will they comeG2064?” 36YouG4771 foolG878! WhatG3739 you sowG4687 does not come to lifeG3756G2227 unlessG1437G3361 it diesG599. 37AndG2532 whatG3739 you sowG4687 is notG3756 theG3588 bodyG4983 thatG3588 will beG1096, butG235 just a seedG1131G2848, perhapsG1487G5177 of wheatG4621 orG2228 somethingG5100 elseG3062. 38ButG1161 GodG2316 givesG1325 itG846 a bodyG4983 asG2531 He has designedG2309, andG2532 to eachG1538 kind ofG3588 seedG4690 He gives its ownG2398 bodyG4983.

39NotG3756 allG3956 fleshG4561 is theG3588 sameG846: MenG444 have oneG243 kind of fleshG4561, animalsG2934 have anotherG243, birdsG4421 anotherG243, andG1161 fishG2486 anotherG243. 40There are alsoG2532 heavenlyG2032 bodiesG4983 andG2532 earthlyG1919 bodiesG4983. ButG235 theG3588 splendorG1391 of theG3588 heavenlyG2032 bodies is of oneG2087 degree, andG1161 the splendor of theG3588 earthlyG1919 bodies is of anotherG2087. 41The sunG2246 has oneG243 degree of splendorG1391, the moonG4582 anotherG243, andG2532 the starsG792 anotherG243; andG1063 starG792 differsG1308 from starG792 inG1722 splendorG1391.

42SoG3779 will it be with theG3588 resurrectionG386 of theG3588 deadG3498: What is sownG4687 is perishableG1722G5356; it is raisedG1453 imperishableG1722G861. 43It is sownG4687 inG1722 dishonorG819; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 gloryG1391. It is sownG4687 inG1722 weaknessG769; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 powerG1411. 44It is sownG4687 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983; it is raisedG1453 a spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. IfG1487 there isG1510 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, there isG1510 alsoG2532 a spiritualG4152 body. 45SoG3779 it is writtenG1125: “TheG3588 firstG4413 manG444 AdamG76 becameG1096G1519 a livingG2198 beingG5590”;4 theG3588 lastG2078 AdamG76 a life-givingG2227 spiritG4151.

46TheG3588 spiritualG4152, howeverG235, was notG3756 firstG4412, butG235 theG3588 naturalG5591, and thenG1899 theG3588 spiritualG4152. 47TheG3588 firstG4413 manG444 was of the dustG5517 ofG1537 the earthG1093, theG3588 secondG1208 manG444 fromG1537 heavenG3772. 48AsG3634 was theG3588 earthlyG5517 man, soG5108 alsoG2532 are those who areG3588 of the earthG5517; andG2532 asG3634 is theG3588 heavenlyG2032 man, soG5108 alsoG2532 are those who areG3588 of heavenG2032. 49AndG2532 just asG2531 we have borneG5409 theG3588 likenessG1504 of theG3588 earthlyG5517 man, so alsoG2532 shall we bearG5409 theG3588 likenessG1504 of theG3588 heavenlyG2032 man.
