- 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;Γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν ἀδελφοί τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε
- 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.δι’ οὗ καὶ τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν εἰ κατέχετε ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπιστεύσατε
- 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;Παρέδωκα γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον ὅτι Χριστὸς ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς
- 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ ⸂ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ⸃ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς
- 5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη Κηφᾷ εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα
- 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.ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ ἐξ ὧν οἱ ⸀πλείονες μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι ⸀δὲ
- 7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.ἔπειτα ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν
- 8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί
- 9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων ὃς οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ
- 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.χάριτι δὲ θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ κενὴ ἐγενήθη ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ἡ σὺν ἐμοί
- 11Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.εἴτε οὖν ἐγὼ εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι κηρύσσομεν καὶ ἐπιστεύσατε
- 12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?Εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς κηρύσσεται ὅτι ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγήγερται πῶς λέγουσιν ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν
- 13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:εἰ δὲ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται
- 14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται κενὸν ⸀ἄρα τὸ κήρυγμα ἡμῶν ⸀κενὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις ⸀ὑμῶν
- 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.εὑρισκόμεθα δὲ καὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἐμαρτυρήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἤγειρεν τὸν Χριστόν ὃν οὐκ ἤγειρεν ἄρα νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται
- 16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:εἰ γὰρ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται
- 17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται ματαία ἡ πίστις ⸀ὑμῶν ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν
- 18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.ἄρα καὶ οἱ ἐν Χριστῷ ἀπώλοντο
- 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.εἰ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ταύτῃ ⸂ἐν Χριστῷ ἠλπικότες ἐσμὲν⸃ μόνον ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐσμέν
- 20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.Νυνὶ δὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀπαρχὴ τῶν
- 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.ἐπειδὴ γὰρ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ⸀θάνατος καὶ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν
- 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν τῷ Ἀδὰμ πάντες καὶ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ πάντες
- 23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.ἕκαστος δὲ ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός ἔπειτα οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ
- 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.εἶτα τὸ τέλος ὅταν ⸀παραδιδῷ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν
- 25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν ἄχρι ⸀οὗ θῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ
- 26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.ἔσχατος ἐχθρὸς καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος
- 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.πάντα γὰρ ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ ὅτι πάντα ὑποτέτακται δῆλον ὅτι ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα
- 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.ὅταν δὲ ὑποταγῇ αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ⸀τότε αὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς ὑποταγήσεται τῷ ὑποτάξαντι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ἵνα ᾖ ὁ θεὸς ⸀πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν
- 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?Ἐπεὶ τί ποιήσουσιν οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν εἰ ὅλως νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται τί καὶ βαπτίζονται ὑπὲρ ⸀αὐτῶν
- 30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?τί καὶ ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν
- 31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.καθ’ ἡμέραν νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν ⸀καύχησιν ἣν ἔχω ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν
- 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.εἰ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν Ἐφέσῳ τί μοι τὸ ὄφελος εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται Φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν αὔριον γὰρ
- 33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.μὴ πλανᾶσθε φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρηστὰ ὁμιλίαι κακαί
- 34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.ἐκνήψατε δικαίως καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε ἀγνωσίαν γὰρ θεοῦ ἔχουσιν πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν ⸀λαλῶ
- 35But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?Ἀλλὰ ἐρεῖ Πῶς ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονται
- 36Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:⸀ἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ἐὰν μὴ
- 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:καὶ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον σπείρεις ἀλλὰ γυμνὸν κόκκον εἰ τύχοι σίτου ἤ τῶν
- 38But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.ὁ δὲ θεὸς ⸂δίδωσιν αὐτῷ⸃ σῶμα καθὼς ἠθέλησεν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν σπερμάτων ⸀ἴδιον σῶμα
- 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.οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ ἀλλὰ ἄλλη μὲν ἀνθρώπων ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν ἄλλη δὲ ⸂σὰρξ πτηνῶν⸃ ἄλλη δὲ ⸀ἰχθύων
- 40There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.καὶ σώματα ἐπουράνια καὶ σώματα ἐπίγεια ἀλλὰ ἑτέρα μὲν ἡ τῶν ἐπουρανίων δόξα ἑτέρα δὲ ἡ τῶν ἐπιγείων
- 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.ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ
- 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:καὶ ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ
- 43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ ἐγείρεται ἐν δόξῃ σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ ἐγείρεται ἐν δυνάμει
- 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.σπείρεται σῶμα ψυχικόν ἐγείρεται σῶμα πνευματικόν ⸀Εἰ ἔστιν σῶμα ψυχικόν ⸂ἔστιν καὶ⸃ πνευματικόν
- 45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.καὶ γέγραπται Ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα
- 46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.ἀλλ’ οὐ πρῶτον τὸ πνευματικὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ ψυχικόν ἔπειτα τὸ πνευματικόν
- 47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ γῆς χοϊκός ὁ δεύτερος ⸀ἄνθρωπος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ
- 48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.οἷος ὁ χοϊκός τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι
- 49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.καὶ καθὼς ἐφορέσαμεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ χοϊκοῦ ⸀φορέσομεν καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου
- 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.Τοῦτο δέ φημι ἀδελφοί ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα βασιλείαν θεοῦ κληρονομῆσαι οὐ ⸀δύναται οὐδὲ ἡ φθορὰ τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν κληρονομεῖ
- 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,ἰδοὺ μυστήριον ὑμῖν λέγω ⸀πάντες οὐ πάντες δὲ ἀλλαγησόμεθα
- 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.ἐν ἀτόμῳ ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι σαλπίσει γάρ καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα
- 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.δεῖ γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν
- 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.ὅταν δὲ τὸ ⸂φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ⸃ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ⸀ἀθανασίαν τότε γενήσεται ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος Κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος
- 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?ποῦ σου θάνατε τὸ ⸂νῖκος ποῦ σου θάνατε τὸ κέντρον⸃
- 56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.τὸ δὲ κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡ δὲ δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος
- 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.τῷ δὲ θεῷ χάρις τῷ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
- 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.Ὥστε ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί ἑδραῖοι γίνεσθε ἀμετακίνητοι περισσεύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ κυρίου πάντοτε ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν κενὸς ἐν κυρίῳ
