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