WEB

Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

WEB

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

WEB

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

WEB

that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

WEB

and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

WEB

Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

WEB

Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,

WEB

and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

WEB

For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

WEB

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

WEB

Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

WEB

Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

WEB

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

WEB

If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.

WEB

Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.

WEB

For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

WEB

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

WEB

Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

WEB

If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

WEB

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.

WEB

For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

WEB

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

WEB

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.

WEB

Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

WEB

For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

WEB

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

WEB

For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

WEB

When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

WEB

Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

WEB

Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

WEB

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

WEB

If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

WEB

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

WEB

Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

WEB

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

WEB

You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

WEB

That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

WEB

But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

WEB

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

WEB

There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

WEB

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

WEB

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

WEB

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

WEB

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

WEB

So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

WEB

However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

WEB

The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

WEB

As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

WEB

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

WEB

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

WEB

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

WEB

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

WEB

For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

WEB

But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

WEB

“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”

WEB

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

WEB

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

WEB

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
