1 Corinthians 15
15
1NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
2By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:
5And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.
6Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.
7After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.
9For I am the least of the apostles, who am 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 in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
11For whether I, or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.
12Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again.
14And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.
16For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.
17And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.
18Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
21For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
22And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
23But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
24Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
25For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,
27All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
30Why also are we in danger every hour?
31I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die.
33Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.
35But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?
36Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.
38But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
39All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
40And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
41One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.
43It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.
44It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:
45The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
46Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
47The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
48Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
49Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
51Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not 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 rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
54And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
55O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
56Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

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.
