Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 15
15
1But brothers, I make known to you the Good News, which I brought as Good News to you, which you also did receive, and in which you stand,
2through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast that word I brought as Good News to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3For I delivered to you at the first that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,
5and that He was seen by Kĕpha, then by the twelve.
6After that He was seen by over five hundred brothers at one time, of whom the greater part remain till now, but some have fallen asleep.
7After that He was seen by Ya‛aqoḇ, then by all the emissaries.
8And last of all He was seen by me also, as if to one born prematurely.
9For I am the least of the emissaries, who am not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of Elohim.
10But by the favour of Elohim I am what I am, and His favour toward me was not in vain, but I laboured much more than they all, yet not I, but the favour of Elohim with me.
11Whether, then, it was I or they, so we proclaimed and so you believed.
12And if Messiah is proclaimed that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Messiah has not been raised.
14And if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is empty, and your belief also empty,
15and we are also found false witnesses of Elohim, because we have witnessed of Elohim that He raised up Messiah, whom He did not raise up, if then the dead are not raised.
16For if the dead are not raised, then neither Messiah has been raised.
17And if Messiah has not been raised, your belief is to no purpose, you are still in your sins!
18Then also those who have fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
19If in this life only we have expectation in Messiah, we are of all men the most wretched.
20But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, and has become the first-fruit of those having fallen asleep.
21For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a Man.
22For as all die in Aḏam, so also all shall be made alive in Messiah.
23And each in his own order: Messiah the first-fruits, then those who are of Messiah at His coming,
24then the end, when He delivers up the reign to Elohim the Father, when He has brought to naught all rule and all authority and power.
25For He has to reign until He has put all enemies under His feet.
26The last enemy to be brought to naught is death.
27For “He has put all under His feet.”# Psa. 8:6 But when He says “all are put under Him,” it is clear that He who put all under Him is excepted.
28And when all are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself shall also be subject to Him who put all under Him, in order that Elohim be all in all.
29Otherwise, what shall they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead are not raised at all? Why indeed are they immersed for the dead?
30And why do we stand in danger every hour?
31I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah יהושע our Master, I die day by day.
32If, as men do, I have fought with beasts at Ephesos, of what good is it to me? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”# Isa. 22:13; Isa. 56:12
33Do not be led astray, “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
34Wake up to soberness, righteously, and do not sin, for some do not have the knowledge of Elohim. I speak this to your shame.
35But someone might say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
36Senseless one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37And as to what you sow: you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, it might be wheat or some other grain.
38But Elohim gives it a body as He wishes, and to each seed a body of its own.
39All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds.
40And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the esteem of the heavenly is truly one, and the esteem of the earthly is another,
41one esteem of the sun, and another esteem of the moon, and another esteem of the stars – for star differs from star in esteem.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
43it is sown in disrespect, it is raised in esteem; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being,”# Gen. 2:7 the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit.
46The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
47The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second Man is the Master from heaven.
48As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
49And as we have borne the likeness of the earthy, we shall also bear the likeness of the heavenly.
50And this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood is unable to inherit the reign of Elohim, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53For this corruptible has to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality.
54And when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall come to be the word that has been written, “Death is swallowed up in overcoming.”# Isa. 28:5
55“O Death, where is your sting? O She’ol, where is your overcoming?”# Hosea 13:14
56And the sting of death is the sin, and the power of the sin is the Torah.
57But thanks to Elohim who gives us the overcoming through our Master יהושע Messiah.
58Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Master, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Master.

Paul’s Gospel and the Resurrection of Christ
1 Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand, 2by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose. 3For I passed on to you as of first importance#Literally “among the first things” what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 4and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 6then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me. 11Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you believed.
Concerning the Resurrection of the Dead
12Now if Christ is preached as raised up from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised either. 14But if Christ has not been raised, then#Some manuscripts have “then both” our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain. 15And also we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either. 17But if Christ has not been raised, your faith is empty; you are still in your sins. 18And as a further result, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If we have put our hope#Literally “we are having put our hope” in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.
20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since through a man came death, also through a man came the resurrection of the dead. 22For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own group: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming, 24then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be abolished is death. 27For “he subjected all things under his feet.”#A quotation from Ps 8:6 But when it says “all things” are subjected, it is clear that the one who subjected all things to him is not included. 28But whenever all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected#Some manuscripts have “also will be subjected” to the one who subjected all things to him, in order that God may be all in all.
29Otherwise, why do they do it, those who are being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why indeed are they being baptized on behalf of them? 30And why are we in danger every hour? 31I die every day—yes indeed, by my boasting in you,#Some manuscripts have “in you, brothers,” which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord! 32If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.#An allusion to Isa 22:13; 56:12 33Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”#A quotation from the Greek poet Menander’s comedy Thais, 218 34Sober up correctly and stop sinning#Literally “do not sin”, for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
Questions Concerning the Resurrection Body
35But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?” 36Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37And what you sow is not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest. 38But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body. 39Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish, 40and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind. 41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
42Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility. 43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45Thus also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”;#A quotation from Gen 2:7 the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47The first man is from the earth, made of earth; the second man is from heaven. 48As the one who is made of earth, so also are those who are made of earth, and as the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility. 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality. 54But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
55Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
56Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 58So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“know”) which is understood as causal know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
