1 Corinthians 15:5-58

5and that 1He appearedG3708 to 23CephasG2786, thenG1534 4to the twelveG1427. 6AfterG1899 thatG1899 He appearedG3708 to moreG1883 thanG1883 fiveG4001 hundredG4001 brothersG80 and sisters atG2178 oneG2178 timeG2178, mostG4183 of whomG3739 remainG3306 untilG2193 nowG737, but someG5100 5have fallenG2837 asleepG2837; 7thenG1899 He appearedG3708 to 67JamesG2385, thenG1534 to 8allG3956 the apostlesG652; 8and lastG2078 of allG3956, as 9to oneG1626 untimelyG1626 bornG1626, 10He appearedG3708 to me alsoG2532. 9For I amG1510 11the leastG1646 of the apostlesG652, 12and not fitG2425 to be calledG2564 an apostleG652, becauseG1360 I 13persecutedG1377 the churchG1577 of GodG2316. 10But by 14the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510, and His graceG5485 towardG1519 me did not proveG1096 vainG2756; but I 15laboredG2872 evenG4053 moreG4053 than allG3956 of them, yetG1161 16not I, but the graceG5485 of GodG2316 with me. 11WhetherG1535 thenG3767 it was I orG1535 they, soG3779 we preachG2784 and soG3779 you believedG4100.

12NowG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 is preachedG2784, that He has been raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, howG4459 do someG5100 amongG1722 you sayG3004 that there 17is noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498? 13But ifG1487 there is noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453; 14and 18ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG1453, thenG686 our preachingG2782 is inG2756 vainG2756, your faithG4102 alsoG2532 is inG2756 vainG2756. 15MoreoverG1161, we are evenG2532 foundG2147 to be falseG5577 witnessesG5577 of GodG2316, becauseG3754 we testifiedG3140 19againstG2596 GodG2316 that He 20raisedG1453 21ChristG5547, whomG3739 He did not raiseG1453, ifG1512 in factG686 the deadG3498 are not raisedG1453. 16For ifG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG1453, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453; 17and ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG1453, your faithG4102 is worthlessG3152; 22you are stillG2089 in your sinsG266. 18ThenG686 alsoG2532 thoseG3588 who 23have fallenG2837 asleepG2837 in ChristG5547 have perishedG622. 19IfG1487 we have hopedG1679 in ChristG5547 onlyG3440 in thisG3778 lifeG2222, we are 24of allG3956 peopleG444 mostG1652 toG1652 beG1652 pitiedG1652.

20But theG3570 factG3570 isG3570, ChristG5547 25has been raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, the 26firstG536 fruitsG536 of thoseG3588 who 27areG2837 asleepG2837. 21For sinceG1894 28by a manG444 deathG2288 came, by a ManG444 alsoG2532 came the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. 22For 29as in AdamG76 allG3956 dieG599, soG3779 alsoG2532 in 30ChristG5547 allG3956 will be madeG2227 aliveG2227. 23But eachG1538 in his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 31the firstG536 fruitsG536, afterG1899 thatG1899 32thoseG3588 whoG3588 are Christ’sG5547 at 33His comingG3952, 24thenG1534 comes the endG5056, whenG3752 He handsG3860 overG3860 34the kingdomG932 to our 35GodG2316 and FatherG3962, whenG3752 He has abolishedG2673 36allG3956 ruleG746 and allG3956 authorityG1849 and powerG1411. 25For He mustG1163 reignG936 37untilG891 He has putG5087 allG3956 His enemiesG2190 underG5259 His feetG4228. 26The lastG2078 enemyG2190 that will be 38abolishedG2673 is deathG2288. 27For 39He has putG5293 allG3956 thingsG3956 inG5293 subjectionG5293 underG5259 His feetG4228. But whenG3752 He saysG3004, “40AllG3956 thingsG3956 are putG5293 inG5293 subjectionG5293,” it is clearG1212 that 41this excludesG1622 the Father who putG5293 allG3956 thingsG3956 inG5293 subjectionG5293 to Him. 28WhenG3752 42allG3956 thingsG3956 are subjectedG5293 to Him, thenG5119 the SonG5207 HimselfG846 will alsoG2532 beG5293 subjectedG5293 to the One who subjectedG5293 allG3956 thingsG3956 to Him, soG2443 thatG2443 43GodG2316 may be allG3956 in allG3956.

29ForG1893 otherwiseG1893, whatG5101 will thoseG3588 doG4160 who are baptizedG907 44for the deadG3498? IfG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG1453 at allG3654, whyG5101 thenG2532 are they baptizedG907 45for them? 30WhyG5101 areG2793 we alsoG2532 46inG2793 dangerG2793 everyG3956 hourG5610? 31I affirmG3513, brothersG80 and sisters, by the boastingG2746 in you whichG3739 I haveG2192 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, that 47I dieG599 dailyG2596G2250. 32IfG1487 48from humanG444 motivesG2596 I 49foughtG2341 withG2341 wildG2341 beastsG2341 at 50EphesusG2181, whatG5101 goodG3786 is it to me? IfG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG1453, 51let’s eatG2068 and drinkG4095, for tomorrowG839 we dieG599. 3352Do not be deceivedG4105: “BadG2556 companyG3657 corruptsG5351 goodG5543 moralsG2239.” 3453SoberG1594 upG1594 54morallyG1346 and stopG3361 sinningG264, for someG5100 haveG2192 55noG56 knowledgeG56 of GodG2316. 56I sayG2980 this to your shameG1791.

35But 57someoneG5100 will sayG3004, “HowG4459 are 58the deadG3498 raisedG1453? And with whatG4169 kindG4169 of bodyG4983 do they comeG2064?” 3659You foolG878! That whichG3739 you 60sowG4687 does not comeG2227 toG2227 lifeG2227 unlessG1437G3361 it diesG599; 37and that whichG3739 you sowG4687, you do not sowG4687 the bodyG4983 which is to be, but a bareG1131 grainG2848, perhapsG5177 of wheatG4621 orG2228 of 61somethingG5100 elseG3062. 38But GodG2316 givesG1325 it a bodyG4983 justG2531 asG2531 He wishedG2309, and 62to eachG1538 of the seedsG4690 a bodyG4983 of its ownG2398. 39AllG3956 fleshG4561 is not the sameG846 fleshG4561, but there is oneG243 flesh of mankindG444, anotherG243 fleshG4561 of animalsG2934, anotherG243 fleshG4561 of birdsG4421, and anotherG243 of fishG2486. 40There are alsoG2532 heavenlyG2032 bodiesG4983 and earthlyG1919 bodiesG4983, but the gloryG1391 of the heavenlyG2032 is oneG2087, and the glory of the earthlyG1919 is anotherG2087. 41There is oneG243 gloryG1391 of the sunG2246, anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, and anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792; for starG792 differsG1308 from starG792 in gloryG1391.

4263SoG3779 alsoG2532 is the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. It is sownG4687 6465a perishableG5356 body, it is raisedG1453 6667an imperishableG861 body; 43it is sownG4687 in dishonorG819, it is raisedG1453 in 68gloryG1391; it is sownG4687 in weaknessG769, it is raisedG1453 in powerG1411; 44it is sownG4687 a 69naturalG5591 bodyG4983, it is raisedG1453 a 70spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. IfG1487 there is a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, there is alsoG2532 a spiritualG4152 body. 45SoG3779 alsoG2532 it is writtenG1125: “The firstG4413 71manG444, AdamG76, becameG1096 a livingG2198 72personG5590.” The 73lastG2078 AdamG76 was a 74life-givingG2227 spiritG4151. 46HoweverG235, the spiritualG4152 is not firstG4413, but the naturalG5591; thenG1899 the spiritualG4152. 47The firstG4413 manG444 is 75from the earthG1093, 7677earthyG5517; the secondG1208 ManG444 is from heavenG3772. 48As is the earthyG5517 one, soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are earthyG5517; and as is the heavenlyG2032 One, 78soG5108 alsoG2532 are thoseG3588 who are heavenlyG2032. 49JustG2531 asG2531 we have 79borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, 80we 81will alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.

50NowG1161 I sayG5346 thisG3778, brothersG80 and sisters, that 82fleshG4561 and bloodG129 cannotG1410G3756 83inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; norG3761 does 84the perishableG5356 inheritG2816 8586the imperishableG861. 51BeholdG2400, I am tellingG3004 you a 8788mysteryG3466; we will not allG3956 sleepG2837, but we will allG3956 be 89changedG236, 52in a momentG823, in the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, at the lastG2078 trumpetG4536; for 90the trumpetG4537 will soundG4537, and 91the deadG3498 will be raisedG1453 92imperishableG862, and 93we will be changedG236. 53For thisG3778 94perishableG5349 mustG1163 putG1746 on 9596the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 97mortalG2349 must putG1746 on immortalityG110. 54But whenG3752 thisG3778 98perishableG5349 putsG1746 on 99the imperishableG861, and thisG3778 mortalG2349 putsG1746 on immortalityG110, thenG5119 will comeG1096 aboutG1096 the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125: “100DeathG2288 has been swallowedG2666 upG2666 in victoryG3534. 55101WhereG4226, O DeathG2288, is your victoryG3534? WhereG4226, O DeathG2288, is your stingG2759?” 56The stingG2759 of 102deathG2288 is sinG266, and 103the powerG1411 of sinG266 is the LawG3551; 57but 104thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, who givesG1325 us the 105victoryG3534 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

58106ThereforeG5620, my belovedG27 brothersG80 and sisters, be firmG1476, immovableG277, alwaysG3842 excellingG4052 in 107the workG2041 of the LordG2962, knowingG3609 that your laborG2873 is not in vainG2756 in the LordG2962.
