Book 46 : 1 CORINTHIANS - Chapter 015
015:001
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain
015:002
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures
015:003
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures
015:004
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve
015:005
After 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
015:006
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles
015:007
And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of
due time
015:008
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be
called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God
015:009
But 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
015:010
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
believed
015:011
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say
some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead
015:012
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ
not risen
015:013
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
your faith is also vain
015:014
Yea, 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
015:015
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised
015:016
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
your sins
015:017
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished
015:018
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable
015:019
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of them that slept
015:020
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of the dead
015:021
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive
015:022
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming
015:023
Then 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
015:024
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet
015:025
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death
015:026
For 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
015:027
And 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
015:028
Else 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
015:029
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour
015:030
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily
015:031
If 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
015:032
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners
015:033
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the
knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame
015:034
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with
what body do they come
015:035
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it
die
015:036
And 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
015:037
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
seed his own body
015:038
All 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
015:039
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
terrestrial is another
015:040
There 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
015:041
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption
015:042
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power
015:043
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body
015:044
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit
015:045
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which
is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual
015:046
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
Lord from heaven
015:047
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as
is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly
015:048
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly
015:049
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption
015:050
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed
015:051
In 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
015:052
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality
015:053
So 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
015:054
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory
015:055
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law
015:056
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ
015:057
Therefore, 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
