1 Corinthians 15:12 Now1161 if1487 Christ5547 is preached,2784 that3754 he has been raised1453 from1537 the dead,3498 how4459 do some5100 among1722 you5213 say3004 that3754 there is2076 no3756 resurrection386 of the dead?349813 But1161 if1487 there is2076 no3756 resurrection386 of the dead,34983761 neither3761 has1453 Christ5547 been raised.1453141161 If1487 Christ5547 has1453 not3756 been raised,1453 then686 our2257 preaching2782 is in vain,2756 and1161 your5216 faith4102 also2532 is in vain.275615 Yes,11612532 we are found2147 false witnesses5575 of God,2316 because3754 we testified3140 about2596 God2316 that3754 he raised up1453 Christ,5547 whom3739 he didn't3756 raise1453 up,1453 if it is so1512 that686 the dead3498 are not3756 raised.145316 For1063 if1487 the dead3498 aren't3756 raised,14533761 neither3761 has1453 Christ5547 been raised.1453171161 If1487 Christ5547 has1453 not3756 been raised,1453 your5216 faith4102 is vain;3152 you are2075 still2089 in1722 your5216 sins.26618 Then686 they3588 also2532 who are fallen asleep2837 in1722 Christ5547 have perished.62219 If1487 we have2070 only3440 hoped1679 in1722 Christ5547 in1722 this3778 life,2222 we are2070 of all3956 men444 most pitiable.1652
1 Corinthians 15:20 But1161 now3570 Christ5547 has been raised1453 from1537 the dead.3498 He became1096 the first fruits536 of those3588 who are asleep.283721 For1063 since1894 death2288 came by1223 man,444 the resurrection386 of the dead3498 also2532 came by1223 man.44422 For1063 as5618 in1722 Adam76 all3956 die,599 so3779 also2532 in1722 Christ5547 all3956 will2227 be made alive.222723 But1161 each1538 in1722 his own2398 order:5001 Christ5547 the first fruits,536 then1899 those who are3588 Christ's,5547 at1722 his846 coming.395224 Then1534 the end5056 comes, when3752 he will deliver up3860 the Kingdom932 to God,2316 even2532 the Father;3962 when3752 he will have abolished2673 all3956 rule746 and2532 all3956 authority1849 and2532 power.141125 For1063 he846 must1163 reign936 until891 he3739302 has put5087 all3956 his enemies2190 under5259 his846 feet.422826 The last2078 enemy2190 that will be abolished2673 is death.228827 For,1063 "He put5293 all things3956 in subjection under5259 his846 feet."4228{Psalm 8:6} But1161 when3752 he says,20363754 "All things3956 are put in subjection,"5293 it is evident1212 that3754 he is excepted1622 who3588 subjected5293 all things3956 to5293 him.846281161 When3752 all things3956 have been subjected5293 to him,846 then51195293 the Son5207 will also2532 himself846 be subjected5293 to him3588 who subjected5293 all things3956 to him,846 that2443 God2316 may be5600 all3956 in1722 all.395629 Or else1893 what5101 will they do4160 who3588 are baptized907 for5228 the dead?3498 If1487 the dead3498 aren't3756 raised1453 at all,3654 why5101 then2532 are they907 baptized907 for5228 the dead?3498302532 Why5101 do we2249 also stand2793 in jeopardy2793 every3956 hour?561031 I affirm, by3513 the2251 boasting2746 in you which3739 I have2192 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 our2257 Lord,2962 I die5992596 daily.225032 If1487 I fought with animals2341 at1722 Ephesus2181 for human444 purposes,2596 what5101 does it3786 profit me?3427 If1487 the dead3498 are not3756 raised,1453 then "let us eat5315 and2532 drink,4095 for1063 tomorrow839 we die."599{Isaiah 22:13}33 Don't3361 be4105 deceived!4105 "Evil2556 companionships3657 corrupt5351 good5543 morals."223934 Wake1594 up righteously,1346 and2532 don't3361 sin,264 for1063 some5100 have2192 no knowledge56 of God.2316 I say3004 this to4314 your5213 shame.179135 But235 someone5100 will say,2046 "How4459 are1453 the dead3498 raised?"1453 and,1161 "With what4169 kind of body4983 do they come?"206436 You foolish878 one, that which3739 you4771 yourself sow4687 is2227 not3756 made alive2227 unless14373361 it dies.599372532 That1487 which3739 you sow,4687 you don't3756 sow4687 the3588 body4983 that3588 will be,1096 but235 a bare1131 grain,2848 maybe5177 of wheat,4621 or2228 of some5100 other3062 kind.
38 But1161 God2316 gives1325 it846 a body4983 even as2531 it pleased him,2309 and2532 to each1538 seed4690 a body4983 of its own.239839 All3956 flesh4561 is not3756 the same846 flesh,4561 but235 there is one2433303 flesh4561 of men,1161 another243 flesh4561 of animals,1161 another243 of fish,2486 and1161 another243 of birds.442140 There are also2532 celestial2032 bodies,4983 and2532 terrestrial1919 bodies;4983 but235 the glory1391 of the3588 celestial2032 differs2087 from that of the terrestrial.191941 There is one243 glory1391 of the sun,22462532 another243 glory1391 of the moon,4582 and2532 another243 glory1391 of the stars;792 for1063 one star792 differs from1308 another star792 in1722 glory.139142 So3779 also2532 is the resurrection386 of the dead.3498 It is sown4687 in1722 corruption;5356 it is raised1453 in1722 incorruption.86143 It is sown4687 in1722 dishonor;819 it is raised1453 in1722 glory.1391 It is sown4687 in1722 weakness;769 it is raised1453 in1722 power.141144 It is sown4687 a natural5591 body;4983 it is raised1453 a spiritual4152 body.4983 There is2076 a natural5591 body4983 and2532 there is2076 also a spiritual4152 body.4983
1 Corinthians 15:45 So3779 also2532 it is written,1125 "The first4413 man,444 Adam,76 became10961519 a living2198 soul."5590{Genesis 2:7} The last2078 Adam76 became1519 a life-giving2227 spirit.415146 However that235 which3588 is spiritual4152 isn't3756 first,4412 but235 that which3588 is natural,5591 then that which3588 is spiritual.415247 The first4413 man444 is of1537 the earth,1093 made of1537 dust.5517 The second1208 man444 is the Lord2962 from1537 heaven.377248 As3634 is the one made of dust,5517 such5108 are those3588 who are also2532 made of dust;5517 and2532 as3634 is the heavenly,2032 such5108 are they3588 also2532 that are heavenly.2032492532 As2531 we have borne5409 the image1504 of those made of dust,5517 let's5409{NU, TR read “we will” instead of “let’s”} also2532 bear5409 the image1504 of the heavenly.203250 Now1161 I say5346 this,5124 brothers,80{The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”} that3754 flesh4561 and2532 blood1293756 can't1410 inherit2816 the Kingdom932 of God;2316 neither3761 does2816 corruption5356 inherit2816 incorruption.861
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold,2400{“Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.} I tell3004 you5213 a mystery.3466 We will2837 not3756 all39563303 sleep,2837 but1161 we will236 all3956 be changed,23652 in1722 a moment,823 in1722 the twinkling4493 of an eye,3788 at1722 the last2078 trumpet.4536 For1063 the trumpet will sound,4537 and2532 the dead3498 will be raised1453 incorruptible,862 and2532 we2249 will be changed.23653 For1063 this5124 corruptible5349 must1163 put on1746 incorruption,861 and2532 this5124 mortal2349 must put on1746 immortality.11054 But1161 when3752 this5124 corruptible5349 will have put on1746 incorruption,861 and2532 this5124 mortal2349 will have put on1746 immortality,110 then51193056 what3588 is written1125 will happen:1096 "Death2288 is swallowed up2666 in1519 victory."3534{Isaiah 25:8}55{compare Hosea 13:14} "Death,2288 where4226 is your4675 sting?2759 Hades,86 where4226 is your4675 victory?"3534
1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting2759 of death2288 is sin,266 and1161 the power1411 of sin266 is the law.355157 But1161 thanks5485 be to God,2316 who gives1325 us2254 the victory3534 through1223 our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.554758 Therefore,5620 my3450 beloved27 brothers,80 be1096 steadfast,1476 immovable,277 always3842 abounding4052 in1722 the Lord's2962 work,2041 because you know1492 that3754 your5216 labor2873 is2076 not3756 in vain2756 in1722 the Lord.2962
