1 Corinthians 15

GNT

1 γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε,

2 δι᾽ οὖ καὶ σῴζεσθε, τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν εἰ κατέχετε, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ εἰκῇ ἐπιστεύσατε.

3 παρέδωκα γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις, ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον, ὅτι χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς,

4 καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη, καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς,

5 καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη κηφᾷ, εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα·

6 ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ, ἐξ ὧν οἱ πλείονες μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι, τινὲς δὲ ἐκοιμήθησαν·

7 ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἰακώβῳ, εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν·

8 ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῶ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί.

9 ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὃς οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος, διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ·

10 χάριτι δὲ θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι, καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ κενὴ ἐγενήθη, ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα, οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ [ἡ] σὺν ἐμοί.

11 εἴτε οὗν ἐγὼ εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι, οὕτως κηρύσσομεν καὶ οὕτως ἐπιστεύσατε.

12 εἰ δὲ χριστὸς κηρύσσεται ὅτι ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγήγερται, πῶς λέγουσιν ἐν ὑμῖν τινες ὅτι ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν;

13 εἰ δὲ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν, οὐδὲ χριστὸς ἐγήγερται·

14 εἰ δὲ χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, κενὸν ἄρα [καὶ] τὸ κήρυγμα ἡμῶν, κενὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν,

15 εὑρισκόμεθα δὲ καὶ ψευδομάρτυρες τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι ἐμαρτυρήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἤγειρεν τὸν χριστόν, ὃν οὐκ ἤγειρεν εἴπερ ἄρα νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται.

16 εἰ γὰρ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, οὐδὲ χριστὸς ἐγήγερται·

17 εἰ δὲ χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, ματαία ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν, ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.

18 ἄρα καὶ οἱ κοιμηθέντες ἐν χριστῶ ἀπώλοντο.

19 εἰ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ταύτῃ ἐν χριστῶ ἠλπικότες ἐσμὲν μόνον, ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐσμέν.

20 νυνὶ δὲ χριστὸς ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἀπαρχὴ τῶν κεκοιμημένων.

21 ἐπειδὴ γὰρ δι᾽ ἀνθρώπου θάνατος, καὶ δι᾽ ἀνθρώπου ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν·

22 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν τῶ ἀδὰμ πάντες ἀποθνῄσκουσιν, οὕτως καὶ ἐν τῶ χριστῶ πάντες ζῳοποιηθήσονται.

23 ἕκαστος δὲ ἐν τῶ ἰδίῳ τάγματι· ἀπαρχὴ χριστός, ἔπειτα οἱ τοῦ χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ·

24 εἶτα τὸ τέλος, ὅταν παραδιδῶ τὴν βασιλείαν τῶ θεῶ καὶ πατρί, ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν.

25 δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν ἄχρι οὖ θῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.

26 ἔσχατος ἐχθρὸς καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος·

27 πάντα γὰρ ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ. ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ ὅτι πάντα ὑποτέτακται, δῆλον ὅτι ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος αὐτῶ τὰ πάντα.

28 ὅταν δὲ ὑποταγῇ αὐτῶ τὰ πάντα, τότε [καὶ] αὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς ὑποταγήσεται τῶ ὑποτάξαντι αὐτῶ τὰ πάντα, ἵνα ᾖ ὁ θεὸς [τὰ] πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.

29 ἐπεὶ τί ποιήσουσιν οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν; εἰ ὅλως νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, τί καὶ βαπτίζονται ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν;

30 τί καὶ ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν;

31 καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἀποθνῄσκω, νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν, [ἀδελφοί,] ἣν ἔχω ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ τῶ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

32 εἰ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν ἐφέσῳ, τί μοι τὸ ὄφελος; εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν, αὔριον γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκομεν.

33 μὴ πλανᾶσθε· φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρηστὰ ὁμιλίαι κακαί.

34 ἐκνήψατε δικαίως καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε, ἀγνωσίαν γὰρ θεοῦ τινες ἔχουσιν· πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν λαλῶ.

35 ἀλλὰ ἐρεῖ τις, πῶς ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί; ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονται;

36 ἄφρων, σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζῳοποιεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃ·

37 καὶ ὃ σπείρεις, οὐ τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον σπείρεις ἀλλὰ γυμνὸν κόκκον εἰ τύχοι σίτου ἤ τινος τῶν λοιπῶν·

38 ὁ δὲ θεὸς δίδωσιν αὐτῶ σῶμα καθὼς ἠθέλησεν, καὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν σπερμάτων ἴδιον σῶμα.

39 οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ, ἀλλὰ ἄλλη μὲν ἀνθρώπων, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ πτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ ἰχθύων.

40 καὶ σώματα ἐπουράνια, καὶ σώματα ἐπίγεια· ἀλλὰ ἑτέρα μὲν ἡ τῶν ἐπουρανίων δόξα, ἑτέρα δὲ ἡ τῶν ἐπιγείων.

41 ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων· ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ.

42 οὕτως καὶ ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν. σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ·

43 σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δόξῃ· σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δυνάμει·

44 σπείρεται σῶμα ψυχικόν, ἐγείρεται σῶμα πνευματικόν. εἰ ἔστιν σῶμα ψυχικόν, ἔστιν καὶ πνευματικόν.

45 οὕτως καὶ γέγραπται, ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν· ὁ ἔσχατος ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα ζῳοποιοῦν.

46 ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πρῶτον τὸ πνευματικὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ ψυχικόν, ἔπειτα τὸ πνευματικόν.

47 ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ γῆς χοϊκός, ὁ δεύτερος ἄνθρωπος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.

48 οἷος ὁ χοϊκός, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί, καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι·

49 καὶ καθὼς ἐφορέσαμεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ χοϊκοῦ, φορέσομεν καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου.

50 τοῦτο δέ φημι, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα βασιλείαν θεοῦ κληρονομῆσαι οὐ δύναται, οὐδὲ ἡ φθορὰ τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν κληρονομεῖ.

51 ἰδοὺ μυστήριον ὑμῖν λέγω· πάντες οὐ κοιμηθησόμεθα, πάντες δὲ ἀλλαγησόμεθα,

52 ἐν ἀτόμῳ, ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ, ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι· σαλπίσει γάρ, καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα.

53 δεῖ γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν.

54 ὅταν δὲ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀθανασίαν, τότε γενήσεται ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος, κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος.

55 ποῦ σου, θάνατε, τὸ νῖκος; ποῦ σου, θάνατε, τὸ κέντρον;

56 τὸ δὲ κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία, ἡ δὲ δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος·

57 τῶ δὲ θεῶ χάρις τῶ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

58 ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, ἑδραῖοι γίνεσθε, ἀμετακίνητοι, περισσεύοντες ἐν τῶ ἔργῳ τοῦ κυρίου πάντοτε, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν κενὸς ἐν κυρίῳ.

1  Moreover,¹¹⁶¹ brethren,⁸⁰ I declare¹¹⁰⁷ unto you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ which³⁷³⁹ I preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto you,⁵²¹³ which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² ye have received,³⁸⁸⁰ and²⁵³² wherein^{1722 3739} ye stand;²⁴⁷⁶

2  By¹²²³ which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² ye are saved,⁴⁹⁸² if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye keep in memory²⁷²² what⁵¹⁰¹ I³⁰⁵⁶ preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto you,⁵²¹³ unless^{1622 1508} ye have believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in vain.¹⁵⁰⁰

3  For¹⁰⁶³ I delivered³⁸⁶⁰ unto you⁵²¹³ first of all^{1722 4413} that which³⁷³⁹ I also²⁵³² received,³⁸⁸⁰ how that³⁷⁵⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ died⁵⁹⁹ for⁵²²⁸ our²²⁵⁷ sins²⁶⁶ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures;¹¹²⁴

4  And²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ he was buried,²²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ he rose again¹⁴⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day²²⁵⁰ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures:¹¹²⁴

5  And²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ he was seen³⁷⁰⁰ of Cephas,²⁷⁸⁶ then¹⁵³⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ twelve:¹⁴²⁷

6  After that,¹⁸⁹⁹ he was seen³⁷⁰⁰ of above¹⁸⁸³ five hundred⁴⁰⁰¹ brethren⁸⁰ at once;²¹⁷⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ greater part⁴¹¹⁹ remain³³⁰⁶ unto²¹⁹³ this present,⁷³⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ are²⁵³² fallen asleep.²⁸³⁷

7  After that,¹⁸⁹⁹ he was seen³⁷⁰⁰ of James;²³⁸⁵ then¹⁵³⁴ of all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

8  And¹¹⁶¹ last²⁰⁷⁸ of all³⁹⁵⁶ he was seen³⁷⁰⁰ of me also,²⁵⁰⁴ as⁵⁶¹⁹ of one born out of due time.¹⁶²⁶

9  For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ least¹⁶⁴⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² that³⁷³⁹ am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ meet²⁴²⁵ to be called²⁵⁶⁴ an apostle,⁶⁵² because¹³⁶⁰ I persecuted¹³⁷⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

10  But¹¹⁶¹ by the grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God²³¹⁶ I am¹⁵¹⁰ what³⁷³⁹ I am:¹⁵¹⁰ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ was bestowed upon¹⁵¹⁹ me¹⁶⁹¹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in vain;²⁷⁵⁶ but²³⁵ I labored²⁸⁷² more abundantly⁴⁰⁵⁴ than they⁸⁴⁶ all:³⁹⁵⁶ yet¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ I,¹⁴⁷³ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God²³¹⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ was with⁴⁸⁶² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

11  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ whether¹⁵³⁵ it were I¹⁴⁷³ or they,¹⁵⁶⁵ so³⁷⁷⁹ we preach,²⁷⁸⁴ and²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ ye believed.⁴¹⁰⁰

12  Now¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be preached²⁷⁸⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ he rose¹⁴⁵³ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ say³⁰⁰⁴ some⁵¹⁰⁰ among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ there is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead?³⁴⁹⁸

13  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ there be²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ then is Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ not³⁷⁶¹ risen:¹⁴⁵³

14  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be not³⁷⁵⁶ risen,¹⁴⁵³ then⁶⁸⁶ is our²²⁵⁷ preaching²⁷⁸² vain,²⁷⁵⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ your⁵²¹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰² is also²⁵³² vain.²⁷⁵⁶

15  Yea,¹¹⁶¹ and²⁵³² we are found²¹⁴⁷ false witnesses⁵⁵⁷⁵ of God;²³¹⁶ because³⁷⁵⁴ we have testified³¹⁴⁰ of²⁵⁹⁶ God²³¹⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ he raised up¹⁴⁵³ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ whom³⁷³⁹ he raised not up,^{1453 3756} if so be that^{1512 686} the dead³⁴⁹⁸ rise¹⁴⁵³ not.³⁷⁵⁶

16  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ rise¹⁴⁵³ not,³⁷⁵⁶ then is not³⁷⁶¹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ raised:¹⁴⁵³

17  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be not³⁷⁵⁶ raised,¹⁴⁵³ your⁵²¹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰² is vain;³¹⁵² ye are²⁰⁷⁵ yet²⁰⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ sins.²⁶⁶

18  Then⁶⁸⁶ they also which are fallen asleep^{2837 2532} in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ are perished.⁶²²

19  If¹⁴⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ life²²²² only³⁴⁴⁰ we have²⁰⁷⁰ hope¹⁶⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ we are²⁰⁷⁰ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴⁴⁴ most miserable.¹⁶⁵²

20  But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ is Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ risen¹⁴⁵³ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and become¹⁰⁹⁶ the firstfruits⁵³⁶ of them that slept.²⁸³⁷

21  For¹⁰⁶³ since¹⁸⁹⁴ by¹²²³ man⁴⁴⁴ came death,²²⁸⁸ by¹²²³ man⁴⁴⁴ came also²⁵³² the resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead.³⁴⁹⁸

22  For¹⁰⁶³ as⁵⁶¹⁸ in¹⁷²² Adam⁷⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ die,⁵⁹⁹ even²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ shall all³⁹⁵⁶ be made alive.²²²⁷

23  But¹¹⁶¹ every man¹⁵³⁸ in¹⁷²² his own²³⁹⁸ order:⁵⁰⁰¹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ the firstfruits;⁵³⁶ afterward¹⁸⁹⁹ they³⁵⁸⁸ that are Christ's⁵⁵⁴⁷ at¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ coming.³⁹⁵²

24  Then¹⁵³⁴ cometh the³⁵⁸⁸ end,⁵⁰⁵⁶ when³⁷⁵² he shall have delivered up³⁸⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² to God,²³¹⁶ even²⁵³² the Father;³⁹⁶² when³⁷⁵² he shall have put down²⁶⁷³ all³⁹⁵⁶ rule⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ and²⁵³² power.¹⁴¹¹

25  For¹⁰⁶³ he⁸⁴⁶ must¹¹⁶³ reign,⁹³⁶ till^{891 3757} he hath put⁵⁰⁸⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ enemies²¹⁹⁰ under⁵²⁵⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ feet.⁴²²⁸

26  The last²⁰⁷⁸ enemy²¹⁹⁰ that shall be destroyed²⁶⁷³ is death.²²⁸⁸

27  For¹⁰⁶³ he hath put⁵²⁹³ all things³⁹⁵⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ feet.⁴²²⁸ But¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵² he saith^{2036 3754} all things³⁹⁵⁶ are put under⁵²⁹³ him, it is manifest¹²¹² that³⁷⁵⁴ he is excepted,¹⁶²² which did put all things under^{5293 3956} him.⁸⁴⁶

28  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵² all things³⁹⁵⁶ shall be subdued unto⁵²⁹³ him,⁸⁴⁶ then⁵¹¹⁹ shall the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ also²⁵³² himself⁸⁴⁸ be subject⁵²⁹³ unto him that put all things under^{5293 3956} him,⁸⁴⁶ that²⁴⁴³ God²³¹⁶ may be⁵⁶⁰⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² all.³⁹⁵⁶

29  Else¹⁸⁹³ what⁵¹⁰¹ shall they do⁴¹⁶⁰ which are baptized⁹⁰⁷ for⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ dead,³⁴⁹⁸ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ rise¹⁴⁵³ not³⁷⁵⁶ at all?³⁶⁵⁴ why⁵¹⁰¹ are they then²⁵³² baptized⁹⁰⁷ for⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ dead?³⁴⁹⁸

30  And²⁵³² why⁵¹⁰¹ stand we in jeopardy^{2793 2249} every³⁹⁵⁶ hour?⁵⁶¹⁰

31  I protest³⁵¹³ by your²²⁵¹ rejoicing²⁷⁴⁶ which³⁷³⁹ I have²¹⁹² in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ our²²⁵⁷ Lord,²⁹⁶² I die⁵⁹⁹ daily.^{2596 2250}

32  If¹⁴⁸⁷ after the manner²⁵⁹⁶ of men⁴⁴⁴ I have fought with beasts²³⁴¹ at¹⁷²² Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ advantageth³⁷⁸⁶ it me,³⁴²⁷ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ rise¹⁴⁵³ not?³⁷⁵⁶ let us eat⁵³¹⁵ and²⁵³² drink;⁴⁰⁹⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ tomorrow⁸³⁹ we die.⁵⁹⁹

33  Be not³³⁶¹ deceived:⁴¹⁰⁵ evil²⁵⁵⁶ communications³⁶⁵⁷ corrupt⁵³⁵¹ good⁵⁵⁴³ manners.²²³⁹

34  Awake¹⁵⁹⁴ to righteousness,¹³⁴⁶ and²⁵³² sin²⁶⁴ not;³³⁶¹ for¹⁰⁶³ some⁵¹⁰⁰ have not the knowledge^{2192 56} of God:²³¹⁶ I speak³⁰⁰⁴ this to⁴³¹⁴ your⁵²¹³ shame.¹⁷⁹¹

35  But²³⁵ some⁵¹⁰⁰ man will say,²⁰⁴⁶ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ are the³⁵⁸⁸ dead³⁴⁹⁸ raised up?¹⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ with what⁴¹⁶⁹ body⁴⁹⁸³ do they come?²⁰⁶⁴

36  Thou fool,⁸⁷⁸ that which³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ sowest⁴⁶⁸⁷ is not³⁷⁵⁶ quickened,²²²⁷ except³³⁶² it die:⁵⁹⁹

37  And²⁵³² that which³⁷³⁹ thou sowest,⁴⁶⁸⁷ thou sowest⁴⁶⁸⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ that body⁴⁹⁸³ that shall be,¹⁰⁹⁶ but²³⁵ bare¹¹³¹ grain,^{2848 1487} it may chance⁵¹⁷⁷ of wheat,⁴⁶²¹ or²²²⁸ of some⁵¹⁰⁰ other³⁰⁶² grain:

38  But¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ giveth¹³²⁵ it⁸⁴⁶ a body⁴⁹⁸³ as²⁵³¹ it hath pleased²³⁰⁹ him, and²⁵³² to every¹⁵³⁸ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ his own²³⁹⁸ body.⁴⁹⁸³

39  All³⁹⁵⁶ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ is not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ flesh:⁴⁵⁶¹ but²³⁵ there is one²⁴³ kind³³⁰³ of flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ of men,^{444 1161} another²⁴³ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ of beasts,^{2934 1161} another²⁴³ of fishes,²⁴⁸⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ another²⁴³ of birds.⁴⁴²¹

40  There are also²⁵³² celestial²⁰³² bodies,⁴⁹⁸³ and²⁵³² bodies⁴⁹⁸³ terrestrial:¹⁹¹⁹ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ celestial²⁰³² is³³⁰³ one,²⁰⁸⁷ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory of the³⁵⁸⁸ terrestrial¹⁹¹⁹ is another.²⁰⁸⁷

41  There is one²⁴³ glory¹³⁹¹ of the sun,²²⁴⁶ and²⁵³² another²⁴³ glory¹³⁹¹ of the moon,⁴⁵⁸² and²⁵³² another²⁴³ glory¹³⁹¹ of the stars:⁷⁹² for¹⁰⁶³ one star⁷⁹² differeth from¹³⁰⁸ another star⁷⁹² in¹⁷²² glory.¹³⁹¹

42  So³⁷⁷⁹ also²⁵³² is the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection³⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ dead.³⁴⁹⁸ It is sown⁴⁶⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² corruption;⁵³⁵⁶ it is raised¹⁴⁵³ in¹⁷²² incorruption:⁸⁶¹

43  It is sown⁴⁶⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² dishonor;⁸¹⁹ it is raised¹⁴⁵³ in¹⁷²² glory:¹³⁹¹ it is sown⁴⁶⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² weakness;⁷⁶⁹ it is raised¹⁴⁵³ in¹⁷²² power:¹⁴¹¹

44  It is sown⁴⁶⁸⁷ a natural⁵⁵⁹¹ body;⁴⁹⁸³ it is raised¹⁴⁵³ a spiritual⁴¹⁵² body.⁴⁹⁸³ There is²⁰⁷⁶ a natural⁵⁵⁹¹ body,⁴⁹⁸³ and²⁵³² there is²⁰⁷⁶ a spiritual⁴¹⁵² body.⁴⁹⁸³

45  And²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ The³⁵⁸⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ man⁴⁴⁴ Adam⁷⁶ was made¹⁰⁹⁶ a¹⁵¹⁹ living²¹⁹⁸ soul;⁵⁵⁹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ last²⁰⁷⁸ Adam⁷⁶ was made¹⁵¹⁹ a quickening²²²⁷ spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

46  Howbeit²³⁵ that was not³⁷⁵⁶ first⁴⁴¹² which is spiritual,⁴¹⁵² but²³⁵ that which is natural;⁵⁵⁹¹ and afterward¹⁸⁹⁹ that which is spiritual.⁴¹⁵²

47  The³⁵⁸⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ man⁴⁴⁴ is of¹⁵³⁷ the earth,¹⁰⁹³ earthy:⁵⁵¹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ second¹²⁰⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ is the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² from¹⁵³⁷ heaven.³⁷⁷²

48  As³⁶³⁴ is the³⁵⁸⁸ earthy,⁵⁵¹⁷ such⁵¹⁰⁸ are they also that are earthy:^{5517 2532} and²⁵³² as³⁶³⁴ is the³⁵⁸⁸ heavenly,²⁰³² such⁵¹⁰⁸ are they also that are heavenly.^{2032 2532}

49  And²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ we have borne⁵⁴⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ image¹⁵⁰⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earthy,⁵⁵¹⁷ we shall also²⁵³² bear⁵⁴⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ image¹⁵⁰⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ heavenly.²⁰³²

50  Now¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ I say,⁵³⁴⁶ brethren,⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² blood¹²⁹ cannot^{1410 3756} inherit²⁸¹⁶ the kingdom⁹³² of God;²³¹⁶ neither³⁷⁶¹ doth corruption⁵³⁵⁶ inherit²⁸¹⁶ incorruption.⁸⁶¹

51  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I show³⁰⁰⁴ you⁵²¹³ a mystery;³⁴⁶⁶ We shall not³⁷⁵⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ sleep,²⁸³⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ we shall all³⁹⁵⁶ be changed,²³⁶

52  In¹⁷²² a moment,⁸²³ in¹⁷²² the twinkling⁴⁴⁹³ of an eye,³⁷⁸⁸ at¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ last²⁰⁷⁸ trump:⁴⁵³⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ the trumpet shall sound,⁴⁵³⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ dead³⁴⁹⁸ shall be raised¹⁴⁵³ incorruptible,⁸⁶² and²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ shall be changed.²³⁶

53  For¹⁰⁶³ this⁵¹²⁴ corruptible⁵³⁴⁹ must¹¹⁶³ put on¹⁷⁴⁶ incorruption,⁸⁶¹ and²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ mortal²³⁴⁹ must put on¹⁷⁴⁶ immortality.¹¹⁰

54  So¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵² this⁵¹²⁴ corruptible⁵³⁴⁹ shall have put on¹⁷⁴⁶ incorruption,⁸⁶¹ and²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ mortal²³⁴⁹ shall have put on¹⁷⁴⁶ immortality,¹¹⁰ then⁵¹¹⁹ shall be brought to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ saying³⁰⁵⁶ that is written,¹¹²⁵ Death²²⁸⁸ is swallowed up²⁶⁶⁶ in¹⁵¹⁹ victory.³⁵³⁴

55  O death,²²⁸⁸ where⁴²²⁶ is thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sting?²⁷⁵⁹ O grave,⁸⁶ where⁴²²⁶ is thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ victory?³⁵³⁴

56  ¹¹⁶¹ The³⁵⁸⁸ sting²⁷⁵⁹ of death²²⁸⁸ is sin;²⁶⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ strength¹⁴¹¹ of sin²⁶⁶ is the³⁵⁸⁸ law.³⁵⁵¹

57  But¹¹⁶¹ thanks⁵⁴⁸⁵ be to God,²³¹⁶ which giveth¹³²⁵ us²²⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ victory³⁵³⁴ through¹²²³ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

58  Therefore,⁵⁶²⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ beloved²⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ be¹⁰⁹⁶ ye steadfast,¹⁴⁷⁶ unmovable,²⁷⁷ always³⁸⁴² abounding⁴⁰⁵² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ work²⁰⁴¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² forasmuch as ye know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ your⁵²¹⁶ labor²⁸⁷³ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in vain²⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the Lord.²⁹⁶²

Vul

1 Notum autem vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod prædicavi vobis, quod et accepistis, in quo et statis,

2 per quod et salvamini: qua ratione prædicaverim vobis, si tenetis, nisi frustra credidistis.

3 Tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi: quoniam Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum Scripturas:

4 et quia sepultus est, et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas:

5 et quia visus est Cephæ, et post hoc undecim:

6 deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul: ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc, quidam autem dormierunt:

7 deinde visus est Jacobo, deinde Apostolis omnibus:

8 novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo, visus est et mihi.

9 Ego enim sum minimus Apostolorum, qui non sum dignus vocari Apostolus, quoniam persecutus sum ecclesiam Dei.

10 Gratia autem Dei sum id quod sum, et gratia ejus in me vacua non fuit, sed abundantius illis omnibus laboravi: non ego autem, sed gratia Dei mecum:

11 sive enim ego, sive illi: sic prædicamus, et sic credidistis.

12 Si autem Christus prædicatur quod resurrexit a mortuis, quomodo quidam dicunt in vobis, quoniam resurrectio mortuorum non est?

13 Si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est: neque Christus resurrexit.

14 Si autem Christus non resurrexit, inanis est ergo prædicatio nostra, inanis est et fides vestra:

15 invenimur autem et falsi testes Dei: quoniam testimonium diximus adversus Deum quod suscitaverit Christum, quem non suscitavit, si mortui non resurgunt.

16 Nam si mortui non resurgunt, neque Christus resurrexit.

17 Quod si Christus non resurrexit, vana est fides vestra: adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris.

18 Ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo, perierunt.

19 Si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus, miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus.

20 Nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiæ dormientium,

21 quoniam quidem per hominem mors, et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum.

22 Et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur.

23 Unusquisque autem in suo ordine, primitiæ Christus: deinde ii qui sunt Christi, qui in adventu ejus crediderunt.

24 Deinde finis: cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri, cum evacuaverit omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem.

25 Oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus ejus.

26 Novissima autem inimica destruetur mors: omnia enim subjecit pedibus ejus. Cum autem dicat:

27 Omnia subjecta sunt ei, sine dubio præter eum qui subjecit ei omnia.

28 Cum autem subjecta fuerint illi omnia: tunc et ipse Filius subjectus erit ei, qui subjecit sibi omnia, ut sit Deus omnia in omnibus.

29 Alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis, si omnino mortui non resurgunt? ut quid et baptizantur pro illis?

30 ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora?

31 Quotidie morior per vestram gloriam, fratres, quam habeo in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

32 Si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi, quid mihi prodest, si mortui non resurgunt? Manducemus, et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.

33 Nolite seduci: corrumpunt mores bonos colloquia mala.

34 Evigilate justi, et nolite peccare: ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent, ad reverentiam vobis loquor.

35 Sed dicet aliquis: Quomodo resurgunt mortui? qualive corpore venient?

36 Insipiens, tu quod seminas non vivificatur, nisi prius moriatur:

37 et quod seminas, non corpus, quod futurum est, seminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta tritici, aut alicujus ceterorum.

38 Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vult: ut unicuique seminum proprium corpus.

39 Non omnis caro, eadem caro: sed alia quidem hominum, alia vero pecorum, alia volucrum, alia autem piscium.

40 Et corpora cælestia, et corpora terrestria: sed alia quidem cælestium gloria, alia autem terrestrium.

41 Alia claritas solis, alia claritas lunæ, et alia claritas stellarum. Stella enim a stella differt in claritate:

42 sic et resurrectio mortuorum. Seminatur in corruptione, surget in incorruptione.

43 Seminatur in ignobilitate, surget in gloria: seminatur in infirmitate, surget in virtute:

44 seminatur corpus animale, surget corpus spiritale. Si est corpus animale, est et spiritale, sicut scriptum est:

45 Factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem, novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem.

46 Sed non prius quod spiritale est, sed quod animale: deinde quod spiritale.

47 Primus homo de terra, terrenus: secundus homo de cælo, cælestis.

48 Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni: et qualis cælestis, tales et cælestes.

49 Igitur, sicut portavimus imaginem terreni, portemus et imaginem cælestis.

50 Hoc autem dico, fratres: quia caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidere non possunt: neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit.

51 Ecce mysterium vobis dico: omnes quidem resurgemus, sed non omnes immutabimur.

52 In momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba: canet enim tuba, et mortui resurgent incorrupti: et nos immutabimur.

53 Oportet enim corruptibile hoc induere incorruptionem: et mortale hoc induere immortalitatem.

54 Cum autem mortale hoc induerit immortalitatem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absorpta est mors in victoria.

55 Ubi est mors victoria tua? ubi est mors stimulus tuus?

56 Stimulus autem mortis peccatum est: virtus vero peccati lex.

57 Deo autem gratias, qui dedit nobis victoriam per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.

58 Itaque fratres mei dilecti, stabiles estote, et immobiles: abundantes in opere Domini semper, scientes quod labor vester non est inanis in Domino.
