| 1st-Corinthians 15:1 | Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; | But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing, |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:2 | By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. | through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:3 | For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; | For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:4 | And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: | that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:5 | And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: | and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:6 | 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. | Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:7 | After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. | Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:8 | And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. | And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:9 | For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. | For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called an Apostle because I persecuted the Church of God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:10 | 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. | But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:11 | Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. | But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:12 | Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? | But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:13 | But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: | If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:14 | And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. | And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:15 | 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. | Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:16 | For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: | For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:17 | And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. | and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing you are still in your sins. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:18 | Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. | It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:19 | If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. | If in this present life we have a *hope* resting on Christ, and nothing more, we are more to be pitied than all the rest of the world. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:20 | But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. | But, in reality, Christ *has* risen from among the dead, being the first to do so of those who are asleep. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:21 | For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. | For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:22 | For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. | For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will be made alive again. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:23 | But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. | But this will happen to each in the right order Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:24 | 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. | Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:25 | For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. | For He must continue King until He shall have put all His enemies under His feet. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:26 | The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. | The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:27 | 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. | for He will have put all things in subjection under His feet. And when He shall have declared that "All things are in subjection," it will be with the manifest exception of Him who has reduced them all to subjection to Him. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:28 | 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. | But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:29 | 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? | Otherwise what will become of those who got themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are these baptized for them? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:30 | And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? | Why also do we Apostles expose ourselves to danger every hour? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:31 | I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. | I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord that I die day by day. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:32 | 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. | If from merely human motives I have fought with wild beasts in Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not rise, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:33 | Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. | Do not deceive yourselves: "Evil companionships corrupt good morals." |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:34 | Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. | Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:35 | But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? | But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?" |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:36 | Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: | Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:37 | 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: | and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit, |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:38 | But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. | and to each kind of seed a body of its own. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:39 | 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. | All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:40 | There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. | There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:41 | 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. | There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:42 | So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: | It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in a state of decay, it is raised free from decay; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:43 | It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: | it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:44 | It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. | an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:45 | And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. | In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:46 | Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. | Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:47 | The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. | The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:48 | As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. | What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:49 | And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. | And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:50 | Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. | But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:51 | Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, | I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:52 | 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. | in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and *we* shall be changed. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. | For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:54 | 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. | But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed up in victory." |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:55 | O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? | "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?" |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:56 | The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. | Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:57 | But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. | but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:58 | 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. | Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord. |
