15:1 Moreover 1161, brethren 80, I declare 1107 5719 unto you 5213 the gospel 2098 which 3739 I preached 2097 5668 unto you 5213, which 3739 also 2532 ye have received 3880 5627, and 2532 wherein 1722 3739 ye stand 2476 5758;

15:2 By 1223 which 3739 also 2532 ye are saved 4982 5743, if 1487 ye keep 2722 5719 in memory what 5101 3056 I preached 2097 5668 unto you 5213, unless 1622 1508 ye have believed 4100 5656 in vain 1500.(keep…: or, hold fast)(what: Gr. by what speech)

15:3 For 1063 I delivered 3860 5656 unto you 5213 first of all 1722 4413 that which 3739 I 3880 0 also 2532 received 3880 5627, how 3754 that Christ 5547 died 599 5627 for 5228 our 2257 sins 266 according 2596 to the scriptures 1124;

15:4 And 2532 that 3754 he was buried 2290 5648, and 2532 that 3754 he rose again 1453 5769 the third 5154 day 2250 according 2596 to the scriptures 1124:

15:5 And 2532 that 3754 he was seen 3700 5681 of Cephas 2786, then 1534 of the twelve 1427:

15:6 After that 1899, he was seen 3700 5681 of above 1883 five hundred 4001 brethren 80 at once 2178; of 1537 whom 3739 the greater part 4119 remain 3306 5719 unto 2193 this present 737, but 1161 some 5100 2532 are fallen asleep 2837 5681.

15:7 After that 1899, he was seen 3700 5681 of James 2385; then 1534 of all 3956 the apostles 652.

15:8 And 1161 last 2078 of all 3956 he was seen 3700 5681 of me also 2504, as 5619 of one born out of due time 1626.(one…: or, an abortive)

15:9 For 1063 I 1473 am 1510 5748 the least 1646 of the apostles 652, that 3739 am 1510 5748 not 3756 meet 2425 to be called 2564 5745 an apostle 652, because 1360 I persecuted 1377 5656 the church 1577 of God 2316.

15:10 But 1161 by the grace 5485 of God 2316 I am 1510 5748 what 3739 I am 1510 5748: and 2532 his 846 grace 5485 [which was bestowed] upon 1519 me 1691 was 1096 5675 not 3756 in vain 2756; but 235 I laboured 2872 5656 more abundantly 4054 than they 846 all 3956: yet 1161 not 3756 I 1473, but 235 the grace 5485 of God 2316 which 3588 was with 4862 me 1698.

15:11 Therefore 3767 whether 1535 [it were] I 1473 or 1535 they 1565, so 3779 we preach 2784 5719, and 2532 so 3779 ye believed 4100 5656.

15:12 Now 1161 if 1487 Christ 5547 be preached 2784 5743 that 3754 he rose 1453 5769 from 1537 the dead 3498, how 4459 say 3004 5719 some 5100 among 1722 you 5213 that 3754 there is 2076 5748 no 3756 resurrection 386 of the dead 3498?

15:13 But 1161 if 1487 there be 2076 5748 no 3756 resurrection 386 of the dead 3498, then 3761 0 is 1453 0 Christ 5547 not 3761 risen 1453 5769:

15:14 And 1161 if 1487 Christ 5547 be 1453 0 not 3756 risen 1453 5769, then 686 [is] our 2257 preaching 2782 vain 2756, and 2532 your 5216 faith 4102 [is] 1161 also 2532 vain 2756.

15:15 Yea 1161, and 2532 we are found 2147 5743 false witnesses 5575 of God 2316; because 3754 we have testified 3140 5656 of 2596 God 2316 that 3754 he raised up 1453 5656 Christ 5547: whom 3739 he raised 1453 0 not 3756 up 1453 5656, if 1512 so be 686 that the dead 3498 rise 1453 5743 not 3756.

15:16 For 1063 if 1487 the dead 3498 rise 1453 5743 not 3756, then is 1453 0 not 3761 Christ 5547 raised 1453 5769:

15:17 And 1161 if 1487 Christ 5547 be 1453 0 not 3756 raised 1453 5769, your 5216 faith 4102 [is] vain 3152; ye are 2075 5748 yet 2089 in 1722 your 5216 sins 266.

15:18 Then 686 they also 2532 which are fallen asleep 2837 5685 in 1722 Christ 5547 are perished 622 5639.

15:19 If 1487 in 1722 this 5026 life 2222 only 3440 we have hope 1679 5761 2070 5748 in 1722 Christ 5547, we are 2070 5748 of all 3956 men 444 most miserable 1652.

15:20 But 1161 now 3570 is 1453 0 Christ 5547 risen 1453 5769 from 1537 the dead 3498, [and] become 1096 5633 the firstfruits 536 of them that slept 2837 5772.

15:21 For 1063 since 1894 by 1223 man 444 [came] death 2288, by 1223 man 444 [came] also 2532 the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498.

15:22 For 1063 as 5618 in 1722 Adam 76 all 3956 die 599 5719, even 2532 so 3779 in 1722 Christ 5547 shall 2227 0 all 3956 be made alive 2227 5701.

15:23 But 1161 every man 1538 in 1722 his own 2398 order 5001: Christ 5547 the firstfruits 536; afterward 1899 they that are 3588 Christ's 5547 at 1722 his 846 coming 3952.

15:24 Then 1534 [cometh] the end 5056, when 3752 he shall have delivered up 3860 5632 the kingdom 932 to God 2316, even 2532 the Father 3962; when 3752 he shall have put down 2673 5661 all 3956 rule 746 and 2532 all 3956 authority 1849 and 2532 power 1411.

15:25 For 1063 he 846 must 1163 5748 reign 936 5721, till 891 3739 he hath put 302 5087 5632 all 3956 enemies 2190 under 5259 his 846 feet 4228.

15:26 The last 2078 enemy 2190 [that] shall be destroyed 2673 5743 [is] death 2288.

15:27 For 1063 he hath put 5293 5656 all things 3956 under 5259 his 846 feet 4228. But 1161 when 3752 he saith 2036 5632 3754, all things 3956 are put under 5293 5769 [him, it is] manifest 1212 that 3754 he is excepted 1622, which did put 5293 0 all things 3956 under 5293 5660 him 846.

15:28 And 1161 when 3752 all things 3956 shall be subdued 5293 5652 unto him 846, then 5119 shall 5293 0 the Son 5207 also 2532 himself 846 be subject 5293 5691 unto him that put 5293 0 all things 3956 under 5293 5660 him 846, that 2443 God 2316 may be 5600 5753 all 3956 in 1722 all 3956.

15:29 Else 1893 what 5101 shall they do 4160 5692 which are baptized 907 5746 for 5228 the dead 3498, if 1487 the dead 3498 rise 1453 5743 not 3756 at all 3654? why 5101 2532 are they then baptized 907 5743 for 5228 the dead 3498?

15:30 And 2532 why 5101 stand 2793 0 we 2249 in jeopardy 2793 5719 every 3956 hour 5610?

15:31 I protest by 3513 your 5212 rejoicing 2251 2746 which 3739 I have 2192 5719 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 our 2257 Lord 2962, I die 599 5719 daily 2596 2250.(your: some read, our)

15:32 If 1487 after the manner 2596 of men 444 I have fought with beasts 2341 5656 at 1722 Ephesus 2181, what 5101 advantageth it 3786 me 3427, if 1487 the dead 3498 rise 1453 5743 not 3756? let us eat 5315 5632 and 2532 drink 4095 5632; for 1063 to morrow 839 we die 599 5719.(after…: or, to speak after the manner of men)

15:33 Be 4105 0 not 3361 deceived 4105 5744: evil 2556 communications 3657 corrupt 5351 5719 good 5543 manners 2239.

15:34 Awake 1594 5657 to righteousness 1346, and 2532 sin 264 5720 not 3361; for 1063 some 5100 have 2192 5719 not the knowledge 56 of God 2316: I speak 3004 5719 [this] to 4314 your 5213 shame 1791.

15:35 But 235 some 5100 [man] will say 2046 5692, How 4459 are 1453 0 the dead 3498 raised up 1453 5743? and 1161 with what 4169 body 4983 do they come 2064 5736?

15:36 [Thou] fool 878, that which 3739 thou 4771 sowest 4687 5719 is 2227 0 not 3756 quickened 2227 5743, except 3362 it die 599 5632:

15:37 And 2532 that which 3739 thou sowest 4687 5719, thou sowest 4687 5719 not 3756 that body 4983 that shall be 1096 5697, but 235 bare 1131 grain 2848, it may chance 1487 5177 5630 of wheat 4621, or 2228 of some 5100 other 3062 [grain]:

15:38 But 1161 God 2316 giveth 1325 5719 it 846 a body 4983 as 2531 it hath pleased him 2309 5656, and 2532 to every 1538 seed 4690 his own 2398 body 4983.

15:39 All 3956 flesh 4561 [is] not 3756 the same 846 flesh 4561: but 235 3303 [there is] one 243 [kind of] flesh 4561 of men 444, 1161 another 243 flesh 4561 of beasts 2934, 1161 another 243 of fishes 2486, [and] 1161 another 243 of birds 4421.

15:40 [There are] also 2532 celestial 2032 bodies 4983, and 2532 bodies 4983 terrestrial 1919: but 235 3303 the glory 1391 of the celestial 2032 [is] one 2087, and 1161 the [glory] of the terrestrial 1919 [is] another 2087.

15:41 [There is] one 243 glory 1391 of the sun 2246, and 2532 another 243 glory 1391 of the moon 4582, and 2532 another 243 glory 1391 of the stars 792: for 1063 [one] star 792 differeth from 1308 5719 [another] star 792 in 1722 glory 1391.

15:42 So 3779 also 2532 [is] the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498. It is sown 4687 5743 in 1722 corruption 5356; it is raised 1453 5743 in 1722 incorruption 861:

15:43 It is sown 4687 5743 in 1722 dishonour 819; it is raised 1453 5743 in 1722 glory 1391: it is sown 4687 5743 in 1722 weakness 769; it is raised 1453 5743 in 1722 power 1411:

15:44 It is sown 4687 5743 a natural 5591 body 4983; it is raised 1453 5743 a spiritual 4152 body 4983. There is 2076 5748 a natural 5591 body 4983, and 2532 there is 2076 5748 a spiritual 4152 body 4983.

15:45 And 2532 so 3779 it is written 1125 5769, The first 4413 man 444 Adam 76 was made 1096 5633 1519 a living 2198 5723 soul 5590; the last 2078 Adam 76 [was made] 1519 a quickening 2227 5723 spirit 4151.

15:46 Howbeit 235 that [was] not 3756 first 4412 which is spiritual 4152, but 235 that which is natural 5591; and afterward 1899 that which is spiritual 4152.

15:47 The first 4413 man 444 [is] of 1537 the earth 1093, earthy 5517: the second 1208 man 444 [is] the Lord 2962 from 1537 heaven 3772.

15:48 As 3634 [is] the earthy 5517, such 5108 [are] they also 2532 that are earthy 5517: and 2532 as [is] 3634 the heavenly 2032, such 5108 [are] they 2032 0 also 2532 that are heavenly 2032.

15:49 And 2532 as 2531 we have borne 5409 5656 the image 1504 of the earthy 5517, we shall 5409 0 also 2532 bear 5409 5692 the image 1504 of the heavenly 2032.

15:50 Now 1161 this 5124 I say 5346 5748, brethren 80, that 3754 flesh 4561 and 2532 blood 129 cannot 3756 1410 5736 inherit 2816 5658 the kingdom 932 of God 2316; neither 3761 doth 2816 0 corruption 5356 inherit 2816 5719 incorruption 861.

15:51 Behold 2400 5628, I shew 3004 5719 you 5213 a mystery 3466; We shall 2837 0 not 3756 all 3956 3303 sleep 2837 5701, but 1161 we shall 236 0 all 3956 be changed 236 5691,

15:52 In 1722 a moment 823, in 1722 the twinkling 4493 of an eye 3788, at 1722 the last 2078 trump 4536: for 1063 the trumpet shall sound 4537 5692, and 2532 the dead 3498 shall be raised 1453 5701 incorruptible 862, and 2532 we 2249 shall be changed 236 5691.

15:53 For 1063 this 5124 corruptible 5349 must 1163 5748 put on 1746 5670 incorruption 861, and 2532 this 5124 mortal 2349 [must] put on 1746 5670 immortality 110.

15:54 So 1161 when 3752 this 5124 corruptible 5349 shall have put on 1746 5672 incorruption 861, and 2532 this 5124 mortal 2349 shall have put on 1746 5672 immortality 110, then 5119 shall be brought to pass 1096 5695 the saying 3056 that is written 1125 5772, Death 2288 is swallowed up 2666 5681 in 1519 victory 3534.

15:55 O death 2288, where 4226 [is] thy 4675 sting 2759? O grave 86, where 4226 [is] thy 4675 victory 3534?(grave: or, hell)

15:56 1161 The sting 2759 of death 2288 [is] sin 266; and 1161 the strength 1411 of sin 266 [is] the law 3551.

15:57 But 1161 thanks 5485 [be] to God 2316, which 3588 giveth 1325 5723 us 2254 the victory 3534 through 1223 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

15:58 Therefore 5620, my 3450 beloved 27 brethren 80, be ye 1096 5737 stedfast 1476, unmoveable 277, always 3842 abounding 4052 5723 in 1722 the work 2041 of the Lord 2962, forasmuch as ye know 1492 5761 that 3754 your 5216 labour 2873 is 2076 5748 not 3756 in vain 2756 in 1722 the Lord 2962.
