King James Version
Now
, brothers
, I want
to
remind
you of
the gospel I preached to
you, which you
received, and in
which
you
stand firm.
Moreover
, brethren
, I declare
unto
you the gospel which
I preached unto
you, which also
ye
have
received, and wherein
ye
stand ;
By this
gospel
you
are saved, if you
hold
firmly
to
the
word
I preached to
you .
Otherwise
, you
have believed in vain.
By which
also
ye
are saved, if ye
keep
in
memory
what
I preached unto
you, unless
ye
have believed in vain.
For what
I received
I
passed
on
to
you as
of
first importance:
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures ,
For I delivered
unto
you first of
all
that which
I
also
received,
how
that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures ;
that He was buried, that He was
raised
on
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 and
then to
the Twelve .
And that he was
seen
of
Cephas ,
then of
the twelve :
After that, He appeared
to
more
than
five hundred brothers
at once ,
most
of whom are
still
living
, though
some have
fallen asleep.
After that, he was
seen
of
above
five hundred brethren
at once ;
of whom the
greater
part
remain
unto
this
present
, but
some are
fallen asleep.
Then
He appeared
to
James ,
then to
all the apostles.
After
that,
he was
seen
of
James ;
then of
all the apostles.
And last of all He appeared
to
me also, as to
one of untimely
birth
.
And last of all he was
seen
of
me also, as of
one born
out
of due
time
.
For I am the least of the apostles and
am unworthy
to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
For I am the least of the apostles ,
that
am not
meet
to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am ,
and His grace to
me was not in vain .
No,
I worked
harder
than all of
them—
yet not I, but the grace of God that
was with me.
But by the grace of God I am what I am :
and his grace which
was
bestowed
upon
me was not in vain ;
but
I laboured
more
abundantly
than they
all :
yet not I, but the grace of God which
was with me.
Whether ,
then,
it was
I or they, this
is
what
we preach, and this
is
what
you
believed.
Therefore
whether it were
I or they, so
we preach, and so
ye
believed.
But
if it
is
preached that Christ
has
been
raised
from the dead, how can
some of
you say
that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Now
if Christ
be
preached that he
rose
from the dead, how say
some among
you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
If there is
no resurrection of the dead, then not
even
Christ has
been
raised.
But
if there be
no resurrection of the dead, then is
Christ not
risen:
And if Christ has
not been
raised
, our preaching is
worthless
, and so
is
your faith.
And if Christ be
not risen
, then
is
our preaching vain
, and your faith is
also
vain
.
In
that
case
, we are also
exposed
as
false witnesses about
God .
For
we have testified about
God that He raised Christ from
the
dead,
but
He did
not raise
Him
if in
fact
the dead are
not raised
.
Yea
, and
we are found
false witnesses of
God ;
because
we have testified of
God that he raised up
Christ :
whom
he raised
not up,
if so
be
that
the dead rise
not.
For if the dead are
not raised
, then not even
Christ has
been
raised .
For if the dead rise
not, then is
not Christ raised :
And if Christ has
not been
raised, your faith is futile
; you
are still
in your sins.
And if Christ be
not raised, your faith is vain
; ye
are yet
in your sins.
Then those
also who
have
fallen asleep in Christ have
perished.
Then they
also which
are
fallen asleep in Christ are
perished.
If our
hope
in Christ
is
for
this life alone
, we are to
be
pitied
more
than
all men.
If in this life only
we
have
hope
in
Christ
, we are of
all men most
miserable
.
But Christ has
indeed
been
raised
from the dead, the firstfruits of those
who
have
fallen
asleep
.
But now
is
Christ risen
from the dead, and
become
the firstfruits of them
that
slept
.
For since death
came
through
a
man, the resurrection of the dead comes
also
through
a
man
.
For since by
man came
death
, by
man
came
also
the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will
be made alive.
For as in Adam all die, even
so in Christ shall
all be made alive.
But each
in his own turn
: Christ the firstfruits; then
at His coming ,
those
who
belong
to
Him
.
But every
man
in his own order
: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they
that
are
Christ's
at his coming.
Then the end will
come
, when He hands
over
the kingdom to God the Father after
He has
destroyed
all dominion,
authority ,
and power.
Then cometh
the end, when he shall
have
delivered
up
the kingdom to God ,
even
the Father ;
when
he shall
have
put
down
all rule
and
all
authority and power.
For He must reign until
He has
put all His
enemies under His feet.
For he must reign ,
till
he hath
put all enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to
be destroyed is death.
The last enemy that
shall
be destroyed is death.
For “God
has
put everything
under His feet. ”
Now
when it
says
that
everything
has
been
put under Him, this
clearly
does
not
include
the
One
who
put everything
under Him.
For he
hath
put all
things
under his feet. But
when he
saith
all
things
are
put under him, it
is
manifest
that
he
is
excepted,
which
did
put all
things
under him.
And when all things have
been
subjected
to
Him, then the Son Himself will
be made
subject to
Him who
put all things under Him, so
that God may be all in all.
And when all things shall
be
subdued
unto
him, then shall
the Son also
himself be subject unto
him that
put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
If
these
things
are
not
so,
what will
those
do who
are baptized for the dead ?
If the dead are
not raised
at all ,
why are people
baptized for them
?
Else
what shall
they
do which
are baptized for the dead ,
if the dead rise
not at all ?
why are they
then
baptized for the
dead
?
And why do
we endanger
ourselves
every hour?
And why stand
we in
jeopardy
every hour?
I face
death
every
day,
brothers,
as
surely
as
I boast
about
you
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I protest
by
your
rejoicing
which
I have
in Christ Jesus our Lord ,
I
die
daily
.
If I fought wild
beasts in
Ephesus for
human
motives
, what did
I
gain?
If the dead are
not raised,
“
Let us eat and drink ,
for tomorrow
we die. ”
If after
the
manner
of
men
I have
fought with
beasts at
Ephesus, what advantageth
it
me,
if the dead rise
not ?
let us eat and drink ;
for to
morrow
we die.
Do
not
be deceived: “Bad
company
corrupts
good character
. ”
Be not
deceived: evil
communications
corrupt
good manners
.
Sober
up
as
you
ought
, and stop
sinning
; for some of
you
are
ignorant
of God .
I say
this to your shame.
Awake
to
righteousness
, and sin
not
; for some have
not
the
knowledge
of God :
I speak
this to your shame.
But someone
will ask
, “
How are the dead raised? With what kind
of
body will
they come? ”
But some
man
will say
, How are the dead raised up
? and
with what body do
they come?
You
fool !
What
you
sow
does
not come
to
life
unless
it dies.
Thou
fool ,
that
which
thou
sowest
is
not quickened,
except
it die:
And what
you
sow
is
not the
body that will
be, but just
a
seed
, perhaps
of wheat or something
else.
And that
which
thou
sowest,
thou
sowest
not that
body that shall
be, but bare
grain
, it
may
chance
of wheat ,
or of
some
other
grain:
But God gives
it a body as He
has
designed
, and to each
kind
of
seed He
gives
its
own body.
But God giveth
it a body as it
hath
pleased
him
, and to every
seed his
own body.
Not
all flesh is the same: Men
have
one kind of flesh, animals
have
another, birds
another, and fish
another.
All flesh is not
the same flesh
: but
there
is
one kind of flesh of
men
, another flesh
of
beasts
, another of
fishes
, and another of
birds
.
There are also heavenly
bodies and earthly
bodies .
But the splendor
of the heavenly
bodies
is of
one degree
, and the splendor
of the earthly
bodies
is of
another.
There are also celestial
bodies ,
and bodies terrestrial:
but the glory
of the celestial
is one, and the glory
of the terrestrial
is another.
The
sun
has
one degree
of splendor
, the moon another
, and the stars another;
and
star differs
from star in splendor
.
There
is
one glory
of the
sun
, and
another
glory
of
the moon, and another
glory
of
the stars :
for
one
star differeth
from another
star in glory
.
So will
it
be
with
the resurrection of the dead :
What
is sown is
perishable
; it is raised imperishable.
So also
is
the resurrection of the dead .
It
is sown in
corruption
; it is raised in
incorruption:
It is sown in dishonor
; it is raised in glory .
It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power .
It is sown in dishonour
; 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 body.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body.
So it is written :
“
The first man Adam became
a living being
; ”
the last Adam a life-giving
spirit.
And
so it is written ,
The first man Adam was
made
a living soul
; the last Adam was
made
a quickening
spirit.
The
spiritual,
however,
was not first, but the
natural ,
and then
the
spiritual.
Howbeit
that
was not first which
is
spiritual
, but that
which
is
natural ;
and afterward
that
which
is
spiritual.
The first man was
of
the
dust
of the earth, the second man from heaven.
The first man is
of the earth, earthy;
the second man is
the
Lord
from heaven.
As was
the earthly
man
, so
also
are those
who
are of
the
earth;
and as is the heavenly man
, so
also
are those
who
are of
heaven
.
As is
the earthy
, such
are they
also
that
are earthy:
and as is the heavenly, such
are they
also
that
are heavenly
.
And just
as we have borne the likeness
of the earthly
man
, so
also
shall
we bear the likeness
of the heavenly man
.
And as we have borne the image
of the earthy
, we shall
also
bear the image
of the heavenly.
Now I declare
to
you
, brothers
, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ,
nor
does
the
perishable
inherit the
imperishable
.
Now this
I say
, brethren
, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ;
neither
doth
corruption
inherit incorruption
.
Listen
, I tell
you a mystery :
We will
not all sleep, but we will
all be changed —
Behold
, I shew
you a mystery ;
We shall
not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed ,
in an
instant
, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will
sound, the dead will
be raised imperishable
, and we will
be changed.
In a
moment
, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall
sound, and
the dead shall
be raised incorruptible
, and we shall
be changed.
For the
perishable
must be
clothed
with
the
imperishable
, and the
mortal with
immortality.
For this
corruptible
must put
on
incorruption
, and this
mortal must
put
on
immortality.
When the
perishable
has
been
clothed
with
the
imperishable
and the
mortal with
immortality, then the saying that is written will
come
to
pass:
“
Death has
been
swallowed up in victory. ”
So
when this
corruptible
shall
have
put
on
incorruption,
and this
mortal shall
have
put
on
immortality, then shall
be
brought
to
pass
the saying that is written ,
Death is
swallowed up in victory.
“Where,
O Death, is your
victory
? Where,
O Death
, is your
sting
? ”
O death, where
is thy
sting
? O grave
, where
is thy
victory
?
The sting of death is sin ,
and the power
of sin is the law.
The sting of death is sin ;
and the strength
of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who
gives
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ !
But thanks be to God, which
giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ .
Therefore, my beloved brothers
, be steadfast
and
immovable.
Always excel
in the work of the Lord, because
you
know that your labor
in
the
Lord
is not in vain.
Therefore, my beloved brethren
, be ye
stedfast,
unmoveable,
always abounding
in the work of the Lord, forasmuch
as
ye
know that your labour
is not in vain in
the
Lord
.
