15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which
I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein
ye stand;
15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third
day according to the scriptures:
15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
15:6 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.
15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the
apostles.
15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born
out of due time.
15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to
be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
15:10 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.
15:11 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach,
and so ye believed.
15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead,
how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the
dead?
15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is
Christ not risen:
15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching
vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
15:15 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.
15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye
are yet in your sins.
15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are
perished.
15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of
all men most miserable.
15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the
firstfruits of them that slept.
15:21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the
resurrection of the dead.
15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive.
15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
15:24 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.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under
his feet.
15:26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
15:27 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.
15:28 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.
15:29 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?
15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ
Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
15:32 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.
15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good
manners.
15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not
the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
15:35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they come?
15:36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened,
except it die:
15:37 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]:
15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to
every seed his own body.
15:39 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.
15:40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies
terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the
[glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
15:41 [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.
15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown
in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is
sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual
body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a
living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
15:46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but
that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
15:47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man
[is] the Lord from heaven.
15:48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are
earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are
heavenly.
15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall
also bear the image of the heavenly.
15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
15:52 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.
15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal [must] put on immortality.
15:54 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.
15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy
victory?
15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin
[is] the law.
15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:58 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.
