1 Corinthians 15

3 By Christ's resurrection, 12 he proveth the necessity of our resurrection, against all such as deny the resurrection of the body. 21 The fruit, 35 and manner thereof, 51 and of the changing of them that shall be found alive at the last day.

 15:1 Now 1161 I make 1107 known 1107 to you, brethren 80, the gospel 2098 which 3739 I preached 2097 to you, which 3739 also 2532 you received 3880, in which 3739 also 2532 you stand 2476,

 15:2 by which 3739 also 2532 you are saved 4982, if 1487 you hold 2722 fast 2722 the word 3056 which 5101 I preached 2097 to you, unless 1487 3361 you believed 4100 in vain 1500.

 15:3 ¶ For I delivered 3860 to you as of first 4413 importance 4413 what 3739 I also 2532 received 3880, that Christ 5547 died 599 for our sins 266 according 2596 to the Scriptures 1124,

 15:4 and that He was buried 2290, and that He was raised 1453 on the third 5154 day 2250 according 2596 to the Scriptures 1124,

 15:5 and that He appeared 3708 to Cephas 2786, then 1534 to the twelve 1427.

 15:6 After 1899 that He appeared 3708 to more 1883 than 1883 five 4001 hundred 4001 brethren 80 at one 2178 time 2178, most 4183 of whom 3739 remain 3306 until 2193 now 737, but some 5100 have fallen 2837 asleep 2837;

 15:7 then 1899 He appeared 3708 to James 2385, then 1534 to all 3956 the apostles 652;

 15:8 and last 2078 of all 3956, as to one 1626 untimely 1626 born 1626, He appeared 3708 to me also 2532.

 15:9 For I am 1510 the least 1646 of the apostles 652, and not fit 2425 to be called 2564 an apostle 652, because 1360 I persecuted 1377 the church 1577 of God 2316.

 15:10 But by the grace 5485 of God 2316 I am 1510 what 3739 I am 1510, and His grace 5485 toward 1519 me did not prove 1096 vain 2756; but I labored 2872 even 4053 more 4053 than all 3956 of them, yet 1161 not I, but the grace 5485 of God 2316 with me.

 15:11 Whether 1535a then 3767 [it was] I or 1535a they, so 3779 we preach 2784 and so 3779 you believed 4100.

 15:12 ¶ Now 1161 if 1487 Christ 5547 is preached 2784, that He has been raised 1453 from the dead 3498, how 4459 do some 5100 among 1722 you say 3004 that there is no 3756 resurrection 386 of the dead 3498?

 15:13 But if 1487 there is no 3756 resurrection 386 of the dead 3498, not even 3761 Christ 5547 has been raised 1453;

 15:14 and if 1487 Christ 5547 has not been raised 1453, then 686 our preaching 2782 is vain 2756, your faith 4102 also 2532 is vain 2756.

 15:15 Moreover 1161 we are even 2532 found 2147 [to be] false 5577b witnesses 5577b of God 2316, because 3754 we testified 5577a against 2596 God 2316 that He raised 1453 Christ 5547, whom 3739 He did not raise 1453, if 1512 in fact 686 the dead 3498 are not raised 1453.

 15:16 For if 1487 the dead 3498 are not raised 1453, not even 3761 Christ 5547 has been raised 1453;

 15:17 and if 1487 Christ 5547 has not been raised 1453, your faith 4102 is worthless 3152; you are still 2089 in your sins 266.

 15:18 Then 686 those 3588 also 2532 who have fallen 2837 asleep 2837 in Christ 5547 have perished 622.

 15:19 If 1487 we have hoped 1679 in Christ 5547 in this 3778 life 2222 only 3440, we are of all 3956 men 444 most 1652 to be pitied 1652.

 15:20 ¶ But now 3570 Christ 5547 has been raised 1453 from the dead 3498, the first 536 fruits 536 of those 3588 who are asleep 2837.

 15:21 For since 1894 by a man 444 [came] death 2288, by a man 444 also 2532 [came] the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498.

 15:22 For as in Adam 76 all 3956 die 599, so 3779 also 2532 in Christ 5547 all 3956 will be made 2227 alive 2227.

 15:23 But each 1538 in his own 2398 order 5001: Christ 5547 the first 536 fruits 536, after 1899 that those 3588 who 3588 are Christ’s 5547 at His coming 3952,

 15:24 then 1534 [comes] the end 5056, when 3752 He hands 3860 over the kingdom 932 to the God 2316 and Father 3962, when 3752 He has abolished 2673 all 3956 rule 746 and all 3956 authority 1849 and power 1411.

 15:25 For He must 1163 reign 936 until 891 He has put 5087 all 3956 His enemies 2190 under 5259 His feet 4228.

 15:26 The last 2078 enemy 2190 that will be abolished 2673 is death 2288.

 15:27 For HE HAS PUT 5293 ALL 3956 THINGS 3956 IN SUBJECTION 5293 UNDER 5259 HIS FEET 4228. But when 3752 He says 3004, “All 3956 things 3956 are put 5293 in subjection 5293,” it is evident 1212 that He is excepted 1622 who put 5293 all 3956 things 3956 in subjection 5293 to Him.

 15:28 When 3752 all 3956 things 3956 are subjected 5293 to Him, then 5119 the Son 5207 Himself 846 also 2532 will be subjected 5293 to the One who subjected 5293 all 3956 things 3956 to Him, so 2443 that God 2316 may be all 3956 in all 3956.

 15:29 ¶ Otherwise 1893, what 5101 will those 3588 do 4160 who are baptized 907 for the dead 3498? If 1487 the dead 3498 are not raised 1453 at all 3654, why 5101 then 2532 are they baptized 907 for them?

 15:30 Why 5101 are we also 2532 in danger 2793 every 3956 hour 5610?

 15:31 I affirm 3513, brethren 80, by the boasting 2746a in you which 3739 I have 2192 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 our Lord 2962, I die 599 daily 2596 2250.

 15:32 If 1487 from human 444 motives 2596 I fought 2341 with wild 2341 beasts 2341 at Ephesus 2181, what 5101 does it profit 3786 me? If 1487 the dead 3498 are not raised 1453, LET US EAT 2068 AND DRINK 4095, FOR TOMORROW 839 WE DIE 599.

 15:33 Do not be deceived 4105: “Bad 2556 company 3657 corrupts 5351 good 5543 morals 2239.”

 15:34 Become 1594 sober-minded 1594 as you ought 1346, and stop 3361 sinning 264; for some 5100 have 2192 no 56 knowledge 56 of God 2316. I speak 2980 [this] to your shame 1791.

 15:35 ¶ But someone 5100 will say 3004, “How 4459 are the dead 3498 raised 1453? And with what 4169 kind 4169 of body 4983 do they come 2064?”

 15:36 You fool 878! That which 3739 you sow 4687 does not come 2227 to life 2227 unless 1437 3361 it dies 599;

 15:37 and that which 3739 you sow 4687, you do not sow 4687 the body 4983 which is to be, but a bare 1131 grain 2848, perhaps 5177 of wheat 4621 or 2228 of something 5100 else 3062.

 15:38 But God 2316 gives 1325 it a body 4983 just 2531a as He wished 2309, and to each 1538 of the seeds 4690 a body 4983 of its own 2398.

 15:39 All 3956 flesh 4561 is not the same 846 flesh 4561, but there is one 243 [flesh] of men 444, and another 243 flesh 4561 of beasts 2934, and another 243 flesh 4561 of birds 4421, and another 243 of fish 2486.

 15:40 There are also 2532 heavenly 2032 bodies 4983 and earthly 1919 bodies 4983, but the glory 1391 of the heavenly 2032 is one 2087, and the [glory] of the earthly 1919 is another 2087.

 15:41 There is one 243 glory 1391 of the sun 2246, and another 243 glory 1391 of the moon 4582, and another 243 glory 1391 of the stars 792; for star 792 differs 1308 from star 792 in glory 1391.

 15:42 ¶ So 3779 also 2532 is the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498. It is sown 4687 a perishable 5356 [body], it is raised 1453 an imperishable 861 [body];

 15:43 it is sown 4687 in dishonor 819, it is raised 1453 in glory 1391; it is sown 4687 in weakness 769, it is raised 1453 in power 1411;

 15:44 it is sown 4687 a natural 5591 body 4983, it is raised 1453 a spiritual 4152 body 4983. If 1487 there is a natural 5591 body 4983, there is also 2532 a spiritual 4152 [body].

 15:45 So 3779 also 2532 it is written 1125, “The first 4413 MAN 444, Adam 76, BECAME 1096 A LIVING 2198 SOUL 5590.” The last 2078 Adam 76 [became] a life-giving 2227 spirit 4151.

 15:46 However 235, the spiritual 4152 is not first 4413, but the natural 5591; then 1899 the spiritual 4152.

 15:47 The first 4413 man 444 is from the earth 1093, earthy 5517; the second 1208 man 444 is from heaven 3772.

 15:48 As is the earthy 5517, so 5108 also 2532 are those 3588 who are earthy 5517; and as is the heavenly 2032, so 5108 also 2532 are those 3588 who are heavenly 2032.

 15:49 Just 2531a as we have borne 5409 the image 1504 of the earthy 5517, we will also 2532 bear 5409 the image 1504 of the heavenly 2032.

 15:50 ¶ Now 1161 I say 5346 this 3778, brethren 80, that flesh 4561 and blood 129 cannot 1410 3756 inherit 2816 the kingdom 932 of God 2316; nor 3761 does the perishable 5356 inherit 2816 the imperishable 861.

 15:51 Behold 2400, I tell 3004 you a mystery 3466; we will not all 3956 sleep 2837, but we will all 3956 be changed 236,

 15:52 in a moment 823, in the twinkling 4493 of an eye 3788, at the last 2078 trumpet 4536; for the trumpet 4537 will sound 4537, and the dead 3498 will be raised 1453 imperishable 862a, and we will be changed 236.

 15:53 For this 3778 perishable 5349 must 1163 put 1746a on the imperishable 861, and this 3778 mortal 2349 must put 1746a on immortality 110.

 15:54 But when 3752 this 3778 perishable 5349 will have put 1746a on the imperishable 861, and this 3778 mortal 2349 will have put 1746a on immortality 110, then 5119 will come 1096 about the saying 3056 that is written 1125, “DEATH 2288 IS SWALLOWED 2666 UP in victory 3534.

 15:55 “O DEATH 2288, WHERE 4226 IS YOUR VICTORY 3534? O DEATH 2288, WHERE 4226 IS YOUR STING 2759?”

 15:56 The sting 2759 of death 2288 is sin 266, and the power 1411 of sin 266 is the law 3551;

 15:57 but thanks 5485 be to God 2316, who gives 1325 us the victory 3534 through 1223 our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

 15:58 ¶ Therefore 5620, my beloved 27 brethren 80, be steadfast 1476, immovable 277, always 3842 abounding 4052 in the work 2041 of the Lord 2962, knowing 3609a that your toil 2873 is not [in] vain 2756 in the Lord 2962.
