Now{G1161} I make known{G1107} unto you{G5213} brethren,{G80} the gospel{G2098} which{G3739} I preached{G2097} unto you,{G5213} which{G3739} also{G2532} ye received,{G3880} wherein{G3739} {G1722} also{G2532} ye stand,{G2476}

by{G1223} which{G3739} also{G2532} ye are saved,{G4982} if{G1487} ye hold fast the word{G2722} which{G5100} {G3056} I preached{G2097} unto you,{G5213} except{G1487} {G3361} ye believed{G4100} in vain.{G1500}

For{G1063} I delivered{G3860} unto you{G5213} {G1722} first of all{G4413} that which{G3739} also{G2532} I{G3880} received:{G3880} that{G3754} Christ{G5547} died{G599} for{G5228} our{G2257} sins{G266} according to{G2596} the scriptures;{G1124}

and{G2532} that{G3754} he was buried;{G2290} and{G2532} that{G3754} he hath been raised{G1453} on the third{G5154} day{G2250} according to{G2596} the scriptures;{G1124}

and{G2532} that{G3754} he appeared{G3700} to Cephas;{G2786} then{G1534} to the twelve;{G1427}

then{G1899} he appeared{G3700} to above{G1883} five hundred{G4001} brethren{G80} at once,{G2178} of{G1537} whom{G3739} the greater part{G4119} remain{G3306} until{G2193} now,{G737} but{G1161} some{G5100} {G2532} are fallen asleep;{G2837}

then{G1899} he appeared{G3700} to James;{G2385} then{G1534} to all{G3956} the apostles;{G652}

and{G1161} last{G2078} of all,{G3956} as{G5619} to the [child]{G3588} untimely{G1626} born, he appeared{G3700} to me also.{G2504}

For{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 persecuted{G1377} the church{G1577} of God.{G2316}

But{G1161} by the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} I am{G1510} what{G3739} I am:{G1510} and{G2532} his{G846} grace{G5485} which was bestowed upon{G1519} me{G1691} was{G1096} not{G3756} found vain;{G2756} but{G235} I labored{G2872} more abundantly{G4053} than they{G846} all:{G3956} yet{G1161} not{G3756} I,{G1473} but{G235} the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} which was{G3588} with{G4862} me.{G1698}

Whether{G1535} then{G3767} [it be] I{G1473} or{G1535} they,{G1565} so{G3779} we preach,{G2784} and{G2532} so{G3779} ye believed.{G4100}

Now{G1161} if{G1487} Christ{G5547} is preached{G2784} that{G3754} he hath been raised{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}

But{G1161} if{G1487} there is{G2076} no{G3756} resurrection{G386} of the dead,{G3498} {G3761} neither{G3761} hath{G1453} Christ{G5547} been raised:{G1453}

and{G1161} if{G1487} Christ{G5547} hath{G1453} not{G3756} been raised,{G1453} then{G686} is our{G2257} preaching{G2782} vain,{G2756} {G1161} your{G5216} faith{G4102} also{G2532} is vain.{G2756}

Yea,{G1161} {G2532} we are found{G2147} false witnesses{G5575} of God;{G2316} because{G3754} we witnessed{G3140} of{G2596} God{G2316} that{G3754} he raised up{G1453} Christ:{G5547} whom{G3739} he raised{G1453} not{G3756} up,{G1453} if so{G1512} be that{G686} the dead{G3498} are not{G3756} raised.{G1453}

For{G1063} if{G1487} the dead{G3498} are not{G3756} raised,{G1453} {G3761} neither{G3761} hath{G1453} Christ{G5547} been raised:{G1453}

and{G1161} if{G1487} Christ{G5547} hath{G1453} not{G3756} been raised,{G1453} your{G5216} faith{G4102} is vain;{G3152} ye are{G2075} yet{G2089} in{G1722} your{G5216} sins.{G266}

Then{G686} they{G3588} also{G2532} that are fallen asleep{G2837} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} have perished.{G622}

If{G1487} we have{G2070} only{G3440} hoped{G1679} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} in{G1722} this{G3778} life,{G2222} we are{G2070} of all{G3956} men{G444} most pitiable.{G1652}

But{G1161} now{G3570} hath Christ{G5547} been raised{G1453} from{G1537} the dead,{G3498} the{G1096} firstfruits{G536} of them{G3588} that are asleep.{G2837}

For{G1063} since{G1894} by{G1223} man{G444} [came] death,{G2288} by{G1223} man{G444} [came] also{G2532} the resurrection{G386} of the dead.{G3498}

For{G1063} as{G5618} in{G1722} Adam{G76} all{G3956} die,{G599} so{G3779} also{G2532} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} shall{G2227} all{G3956} be made alive.{G2227}

But{G1161} each{G1538} in{G1722} his own{G2398} order:{G5001} Christ{G5547} the firstfruits;{G536} then{G1899} they that are{G3588} Christ's,{G5547} at{G1722} his{G846} coming.{G3952}

Then{G1534} [cometh] the end,{G5056} when{G3752} he shall deliver up{G3860} the kingdom{G932} to God,{G2316} even{G2532} the Father;{G3962} when{G3752} he shall have abolished{G2673} all{G3956} rule{G746} and{G2532} all{G3956} authority{G1849} and{G2532} power.{G1411}

For{G1063} he{G846} must{G1163} reign,{G936} till{G891} he{G3739} {G302} hath put{G5087} all{G3956} his enemies{G2190} under{G5259} his{G846} feet.{G4228}

The last{G2078} enemy{G2190} that shall be abolished{G2673} is death.{G2288}

For,{G1063} He put{G5293} all things{G3956} in subjection under{G5259} his{G846} feet.{G4228} But{G1161} when{G3752} he saith,{G2036} {G3754} All things{G3956} are put in subjection,{G5293} it is evident{G1212} that{G3754} he is excepted{G1622} who{G3588} did subject{G5293} all things{G3956} unto{G5293} him.{G846}

And{G1161} when{G3752} all things{G3956} have been subjected{G5293} unto him,{G846} then{G5119} shall{G5293} the Son{G5207} also{G2532} himself{G846} be subjected{G5293} to him{G3588} that did subject{G5293} all things{G3956} unto him,{G846} that{G2443} God{G2316} may be{G5600} all{G3956} in{G1722} all.{G3956}

Else{G1893} what{G5101} shall they do{G4160} that{G3588} are baptized{G907} for{G5228} the dead?{G3498} If{G1487} the dead{G3498} are not{G3756} raised{G1453} at all,{G3654} why{G5101} then{G2532} are they{G907} baptized{G907} for{G5228} them?{G3498}

{G2532} Why{G5101} do we{G2249} also stand{G2793} in jeopardy{G2793} every{G3956} hour?{G5610}

I protest by{G3513} that{G2251} glorifying{G2746} in you, brethren, which{G3739} I have{G2192} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord,{G2962} I die{G599} {G2596} daily.{G2250}

If{G1487} after the manner{G2596} of men{G444} I fought with beasts{G2341} at{G1722} Ephesus,{G2181} what{G5101} doth it{G3786} profit me?{G3427} If{G1487} the dead{G3498} are not{G3756} raised,{G1453} let us eat{G5315} and{G2532} drink,{G4095} for{G1063} to-morrow{G839} we die.{G599}

Be{G4105} not{G3361} deceived:{G4105} Evil{G2556} companionships{G3657} corrupt{G5351} good{G5543} morals.{G2239}

Awake{G1594} to soberness righteously,{G1346} and{G2532} sin{G264} not;{G3361} for{G1063} some{G5100} have{G2192} no knowledge{G56} of God:{G2316} I speak{G3004} [this] to{G4314} move you to{G4314} shame.{G1791}

But{G235} some{G5100} one will say,{G2046} How{G4459} are{G1453} the dead{G3498} raised?{G1453} and{G1161} with what{G4169} manner of body{G4983} do they come?{G2064}

Thou foolish{G878} one, that which{G3739} thou{G4771} thyself sowest{G4687} is{G2227} not{G3756} quickened{G2227} except{G1437} {G3361} it die:{G599}

and{G2532} that{G1487} which{G3739} thou sowest,{G4687} thou sowest{G4687} not{G3756} the{G3588} body{G4983} that{G3588} shall be,{G1096} but{G235} a bare{G1131} grain,{G2848} it may chance{G5177} of wheat,{G4621} or{G2228} of some{G5100} other{G3062} kind;

but{G1161} God{G2316} giveth{G1325} it{G846} a body{G4983} even as{G2531} it pleased him,{G2309} and{G2532} to each{G1538} seed{G4690} a body{G4983} of its own.{G2398}

All{G3956} flesh{G4561} is not{G3756} the same{G846} flesh:{G4561} but{G235} there is one{G243} {G3303} [flesh]{G4561} of men,{G1161} and another{G243} flesh{G4561} of beasts,{G1161} and another{G243} flesh of birds,{G4421} and{G1161} another{G243} of fishes.{G2486}

There are also{G2532} celestial{G2032} bodies,{G4983} and{G2532} bodies{G4983} terrestrial:{G1919} but{G235} the glory{G1391} of the celestial{G2032} is{G3303} one,{G2087} and{G1161} the{G3588} [glory] of the terrestrial{G1919} is another.{G2087}

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 star{G792} differeth from{G1308} another star{G792} in{G1722} glory.{G1391}

So{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}

it is sown{G4687} in{G1722} dishonor;{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}

it is sown{G4687} a natural{G5591} body;{G4983} it is raised{G1453} a spiritual{G4152} body.{G4983} If there is{G2076} a natural{G5591} body,{G4983} {G2532} there is{G2076} also a spiritual{G4152} [body].{G4983}

So{G3779} also{G2532} it is written,{G1125} The first{G4413} man{G444} Adam{G76} became{G1096} {G1519} a living{G2198} soul.{G5590} The last{G2078} Adam{G76} [became]{G1519} a life-giving{G2227} spirit.{G4151}

Howbeit that{G235} is not{G3756} first{G4412} which{G3588} is spiritual,{G4152} but{G235} that which{G3588} is natural;{G5591} then that which{G3588} is spiritual.{G4152}

The first{G4413} man{G444} is of{G1537} the earth,{G1093} earthy:{G5517} the second{G1208} man{G444} is {G2962} of{G1537} heaven.{G3772}

As{G3634} is the earthy,{G5517} such{G5108} are they{G3588} also{G2532} that are earthy:{G5517} and{G2532} as{G3634} is the heavenly,{G2032} such{G5108} are they{G3588} also{G2532} that are heavenly.{G2032}

And{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}

Now{G1161} this{G5124} I say,{G5346} brethren,{G80} that{G3754} flesh{G4561} and{G2532} blood{G129} {G3756} cannot{G1410} inherit{G2816} the kingdom{G932} of God;{G2316} neither{G3761} doth{G2816} corruption{G5356} inherit{G2816} incorruption.{G861}

Behold,{G2400} I tell{G3004} you{G5213} a mystery:{G3466} We all{G3956} {G3303} shall{G2837} not{G3756} sleep,{G2837} but{G1161} we shall{G236} all{G3956} be changed,{G236}

in{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}

For{G1063} this{G5124} corruptible{G5349} must{G1163} put on{G1746} incorruption,{G861} and{G2532} this{G5124} mortal{G2349} must put on{G1746} immortality.{G110}

But{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 come to pass{G1096} the saying{G3056} that{G3588} is written,{G1125} Death{G2288} is swallowed up{G2666} in{G1519} victory.{G3534}

O death,{G86} where{G4226} is thy{G4675} victory?{G3534} O death,{G2288} where{G4226} is thy{G4675} sting?{G2759}

The sting{G2759} of death{G2288} is sin;{G266} and{G1161} the power{G1411} of sin{G266} is the law:{G3551}

but{G1161} thanks{G5485} be to God,{G2316} who giveth{G1325} us{G2254} the victory{G3534} through{G1223} our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ.{G5547}

Wherefore,{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 know{G1492} that{G3754} your{G5216} labor{G2873} is{G2076} not{G3756} vain{G2756} in{G1722} the Lord.{G2962}
