| 1st-Corinthians 15:1 | But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing, | Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based, |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:2 | 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. | By which you have salvation; that is to say, the form in which it was given to you, if it is fixed in your minds, and if your faith in it is not without effect. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:3 | 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; | For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:4 | that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, | And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:5 | and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve. | And he was seen by Cephas; then by the twelve; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:6 | 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. | Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:7 | Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles. | Then he was seen by James; then by all the Apostles. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:8 | And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also. | And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:9 | For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called an Apostle because I persecuted the Church of God. | For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:10 | 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. | But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:11 | But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe. | If then it is I who am the preacher, or they, this is our word, and to this you have given your faith. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:12 | 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? | Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:13 | If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life. | But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:14 | And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion. | And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:15 | 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. | Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:16 | For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen; | For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:17 | and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing you are still in your sins. | And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:18 | It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. | And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:19 | 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. | If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:20 | But, in reality, Christ *has* risen from among the dead, being the first to do so of those who are asleep. | But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:21 | For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. | For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:22 | For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will be made alive again. | For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:23 | 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. | But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:24 | 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. | Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:25 | For He must continue King until He shall have put all His enemies under His feet. | For his rule will go on till he has put all those who are against him under his feet. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:26 | The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death; | The last power to come to an end is death. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:27 | 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. | For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:28 | 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. | And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:29 | 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? | Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:30 | Why also do we Apostles expose ourselves to danger every hour? | And why are we in danger every hour? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:31 | 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. | Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:32 | 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. | If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:33 | Do not deceive yourselves: "Evil companionships corrupt good morals." | Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:34 | 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. | Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:35 | But some one will say, "How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?" | But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:36 | Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies; | Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:37 | 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, | And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant; |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:38 | and to each kind of seed a body of its own. | But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:39 | All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes. | All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:40 | 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. | And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:41 | There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. | There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:42 | 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; | So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:43 | it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; | It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:44 | 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. | It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:45 | In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. | And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:46 | Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards. | But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:47 | The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven. | The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:48 | 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. | Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:49 | 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. | And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:50 | But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable. | Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:51 | I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, | See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:52 | 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. | In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:53 | For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality. | For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:54 | 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." | But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:55 | "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?" | O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains? |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:56 | Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law; | The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:57 | but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! | But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1st-Corinthians 15:58 | 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. | For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord. |
