| 15:1 | Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel which I preached vnto you, which also you haue receiued, and wherein yee stand. |
| 15:2 | By which also yee are saued, if yee keepe in memorie what I preached vnto you, vnlesse yee haue beleeued in vaine. |
| 15:3 | For I deliuered vnto you first of all, that which I also receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes according to the Scriptures: |
| 15:4 | And that he was buried, and that he rose againe the third day according to the Scriptures. |
| 15:5 | And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue. |
| 15:6 | And that hee was seene of aboue fiue hundred brethren at once: of whom the greater part remaine vnto this present, but some are fallen asleepe. |
| 15:7 | After that, he was seen of Iames, then of all the Apostles. |
| 15:8 | And last of all he was seene of me also, as of one borne out of due time. |
| 15:9 | For I am the least of the Apostles, that am not meet to be called an Apostle because I persecuted ye Church of God. |
| 15:10 | But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed vpon me, was not in vaine: But I laboured more abundantly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me: |
| 15:11 | Therefore, whether it were I or they, so we preach, aud so ye beleeued. |
| 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? |
| 15:13 | But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen. |
| 15:14 | And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine: |
| 15:15 | Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we haue testified of God, that he raised vp Christ: whom hee raised not vp, if so bee that the dead rise not. |
| 15:16 | For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised. |
| 15:17 | And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine, ye are yet in your sinnes. |
| 15:18 | Then they also which are fallen asleepe in Christ, are perished. |
| 15:19 | If in this life only we haue hope in Christ, wee are of all men most miserable. |
| 15:20 | But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. |
| 15:21 | For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. |
| 15:22 | For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue. |
| 15:23 | But euery man in his owne order. Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his comming. |
| 15:24 | Then commeth the end, when he shall haue deliuered vp the kingdome to God euen the Father, when he shall haue put downe all rule, and all authority and power. |
| 15:25 | For he must reigne, till hee hath put all enemies vnder his feete. |
| 15:26 | The last enemie that shall be destroyed, is death. |
| 15:27 | For he hath put all things vnder his feete; but when hee saith all things are put vnder him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things vnder him. |
| 15:28 | And when all things shall bee subdued vnto him, then shal the Sonne also himselfe bee subiect vnto him that put all things vnder him, that God may be all in all. |
| 15:29 | Else what shal they do, which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for the dead? |
| 15:30 | And why stand we in ieopardy euery houre? |
| 15:31 | I protest by your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly. |
| 15:32 | If after the maner of men I haue fought with beasts at Ephesus, what aduantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let vs eate and drinke, for to morrowe wee die. |
| 15:33 | Bee not deceiued: euill communications corrupt good manners. |
| 15:34 | Awake to righteousnesse, and sinne not: for some haue not the knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame. |
| 15:35 | But some man will say, How are the dead raysed vp? and with what body doe they come? |
| 15:36 | Thou foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened except it die. |
| 15:37 | And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare graine, it may chance of wheate, or of some other graine. |
| 15:38 | But God giueth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to euery seed his owne body. |
| 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. |
| 15:40 | There are also celestiall bodies, and bodies terrestriall: But the glorie of the celestiall is one, and the glorie of the terrestriall is another. |
| 15:41 | There is one glory of the sunne, another of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie. |
| 15:42 | So also is the resurrection of the dead, it is sowen in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. |
| 15:43 | It is sowen in dishonour, it is raysed in glorie: it is sowen in weakenesse, it is raysed in power: |
| 15:44 | It is sowen a naturall body, it is raised a spirituall bodie. There is a naturall bodie, and there is a spirituall bodie. |
| 15:45 | And so it is written: The first man Adam was made a liuing soule, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. |
| 15:46 | Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall. |
| 15:47 | The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord from heauen. |
| 15:48 | As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy, and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly. |
| 15:49 | And as we haue borne the image of the earthy, wee shall also beare the image of the heauenly. |
| 15:50 | Now this I say, brethren, that flesh & blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God: neither doth corruption inherite incorruption. |
| 15:51 | Behold, I shew you a mysterie: we shall not all sleepe, but wee shall all be changed, |
| 15:52 | In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last trumpe, (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.) |
| 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortall must put on immortalitie. |
| 15:54 | So when this corruptible shall haue put on incorruption, & this mortall shall haue put on immortality, then shall be brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp in victorie. |
| 15:55 | O death, where is thy sting? O graue, where is thy victorie? |
| 15:56 | The sting of death is sinne, and the strength of sinne is the law. |
| 15:57 | But thankes bee to God, which giueth vs the victorie, through our Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 15:58 | Therefore my beloued brethren, be yee stedfast, vnmoueable, alwayes abounding in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord. |
| 15:1 | I declare vnto you brethren, the Gospell that I haue preached vnto you (which ye haue also accepted, and in the which ye stode, |
| 15:2 | by the which also ye are saued) after what maner I preached it vnto you, yf ye haue kepte it, excepte ye haue beleued in vayne. |
| 15:3 | For first of all I delyuered vnto you that which I also receaued, how that Christ dyed for oure synnes acordinge to the scriptures, |
| 15:4 | and that he was buried, and that he rose agayne ye thirde daye acordinge to the scriptures, |
| 15:5 | and that he was sene of Cephas, then of the twolue: |
| 15:6 | after that was he sene of mo then fyue hundreth brethren at once, wherof there are yet many alyue, but some are fallen aslepe. |
| 15:7 | Afterwarde was he sene of Iames, then of all the Apostles. |
| 15:8 | Last of all was he sene of me also, as of one borne out of due tyme. |
| 15:9 | For I am ye leest of the Apostles, which am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the congregacion of God. |
| 15:10 | But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace in me hath not bene vayne, but I haue laboured more then they all: howbeit not I but the grace of God which is wt me. |
| 15:11 | Now whether it be I or they, thus haue we preached, and thus haue ye beleued. |
| 15:12 | But yf Christ be preached, that he is rysen from the deed, how saye then some amoge you, that there is no resurreccion of the deed? |
| 15:13 | Yf there be no resurreccio of the deed, then is Christ not rysen. |
| 15:14 | Yf Christ be not rysen, then is oure preachinge in vayne,and youre faith is also in vayne: |
| 15:15 | yee and we are founde false witnesses of God, because we haue testified agaynst God, that he hath raysed vp Christ, whom he hath not raysed vp, yf the deed ryse not agayne. |
| 15:16 | For yf the deed ryse not agayne, the is Christ also not rysen agayne. |
| 15:17 | But yf Christ be not rysen agayne, then is youre faith in vayne, and ye are yet in youre synnes: |
| 15:18 | they also that are falle a slepe in Christ, are perished. |
| 15:19 | Yf in this life onely we hope on Christ, then are we of all men the most miserable. |
| 15:20 | But now is Christ rysen from the deed, and is become ye first frutes of them that slepe. |
| 15:21 | For by one man commeth death, and by one man the resurreccion of the deed. |
| 15:22 | For as they all dye in Adam, so shal they all be made alyue in Christ, |
| 15:23 | but euery one in his order. The first is Christ, then they that beloge vnto Christ, whan he commeth. |
| 15:24 | Then the ende, wha he shal delyuer vp the kyngdome vnto God the father, whan he shal put downe all rule, and all superiorite, & power. |
| 15:25 | For he must raygne, tyll he haue put all his enemies vnder his fete. |
| 15:26 | The last enemye that shal be destroyed, is death, |
| 15:27 | for he hath put all thinges vnder his fete. But wha he sayeth, that all thinges are put vnder him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which put all thinges vnder him. |
| 15:28 | Whan all thinges shalbe subdued vnto him, then shal the sonne himselfe also be subiecte vnto him, which put all thinges vnder him, that God maye be all in all. |
| 15:29 | Or els what do they which are baptised ouer ye deed, yf the deed ryse not at all? Why are they then baptysed ouer the deed? |
| 15:30 | And why stonde we in ioperdy euery houre? |
| 15:31 | By oure reioysinge which I haue in Christ Iesu or LORDE, I dye daylie. |
| 15:32 | That I haue foughte with beestes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what helpeth it me, yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let vs eate and drynke, for tomorow we shal dye. |
| 15:33 | Be not ye disceaued. Euell speakinges corruppe good maners. |
| 15:34 | Awake righte vp, and synne not: for some haue not ye knowlege of God. This I saye to youre shame. |
| 15:35 | But some man mighte saye: How shal the deed aryse? And with what maner off body shal they come? |
| 15:36 | Thou foole, yt which thou sowest is not quyckened, excepte it dye. |
| 15:37 | And what sowest thou? thou sowest not ye body that shalbe, but a bare corne, namely of wheate, or of some other. |
| 15:38 | But God geueth it a body as he wil, and vnto euery one of ye sedes his owne body. |
| 15:39 | All flesshe is not one maner of flesshe, but there is one maner flesshe of men, another of beastes, another of fisshes, another of byrdes. |
| 15:40 | And there are heauenly bodies, and there are earthy bodies: but the heauenly haue one glory, and ye earthy another. |
| 15:41 | The Sonne hath one clearnes, the Moone hath another clearnesse, and the starres haue another clearnesse, for one starre excelleth another in clearnesse: |
| 15:42 | Euen so the resurreccion of the deed. It is sowne in corrupcion,and shal ryse in vncorrupcion: |
| 15:43 | It is sowne in dishonoure, & shal ryse in glory:It is sowne in weaknesse, and shal ryse in power: It is sowne a naturall body, & shal ryse a spirituall body. |
| 15:44 | Yf there be a naturall body, there is a spirituall body also. |
| 15:45 | As it is wrytten: The first man Adam was made in to a naturall life, and the last Ada in to a spiritual life. |
| 15:46 | Howbeit the spirituall body is not the first, but ye naturall, and then the spirituall. |
| 15:47 | The first man is of the earth, earthy: ye seconde ma is fro heaue, heauely. |
| 15:48 | As the earthy is, soch are they also that are earthy: and as ye heauenly is, soch are they also yt are heauenly. |
| 15:49 | And as we haue borne the ymage of the earthy, so shal we beare the ymage of the heauenly also. |
| 15:50 | This I saye brethren, that flesh & bloude can not inheret ye kyngdome of God: nether shal corrupcion inheret vncorrupcion. |
| 15:51 | Beholde, I saye vnto you a mystery: We shal not all slepe, but we shall all be chaunged, |
| 15:52 | and that sodenly and in the twinklynge of an eye, at the tyme of the last trompe. For the trompe shal blowe, and the deed shal ryse vncorruptible, and we shalbe chaunged. |
| 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on vncorrupcion, and this mortall must put on immortalite. |
| 15:54 | But whan this corruptible shal put on vncorrupcion, and this mortall shal put on immortalite, the shal the worde be fulfylled that is wrytte: |
| 15:55 | Death is swalowed vp in victory. Death, where is thy stynge? Hell, where is yi victory? |
| 15:56 | The stynge of death is synne: The strength of synne is the lawe. |
| 15:57 | But thankes be vnto God , which hath geue vs the victory thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ. |
| 15:58 | Therfore my deare brethre, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, & all waye riche in the worke of the LORDE, for as moch as ye knowe, that youre laboure is not in vayne in the LORDE. |
| 15:1 | `Sotheli, britheren, Y make the gospel knowun to you, which Y haue prechid to you, the which also ye han takun, in which ye stonden, |
| 15:2 | also bi which ye schulen be sauyd; `bi which resoun Y haue prechid to you, if ye holden, `if ye han not bileuyd ideli. |
| 15:3 | For Y bitook to you at the bigynnyng that thing which also Y haue resseyued; that Crist was deed for oure synnes, bi the scripturis; |
| 15:4 | and that he was biried, and that he roos ayen in the thridde dai, after scripturis; |
| 15:5 | and that he was seyn to Cephas, and aftir these thingis to enleuene; |
| 15:6 | aftirward he was seyn to mo than fyue hundrid britheren togidere, of whiche manye lyuen yit, but summe ben deed; aftirward he was seyn to James, |
| 15:7 | and aftirward to alle the apostlis. |
| 15:8 | And last of alle he was seyn also to me, as to a deed borun child. |
| 15:9 | For Y am the leste of apostlis, that am not worthi to be clepid apostle, for Y pursuede the chirche of God. |
| 15:10 | But bi the grace of God Y am that thing that Y am; and his grace was not voide in me. For Y trauelide more plenteuously than alle thei; but not Y, but the grace of God with me. |
| 15:11 | But whether Y, or thei, so we han prechid, and so ye han bileuyd. |
| 15:12 | And if Crist is prechid, that he roos ayen fro deeth, hou seien summen among you, that the ayenrisyng of deed men is not? |
| 15:13 | And if the ayenrisyng of deed men is not, nethir Crist roos ayen fro deeth. |
| 15:14 | And if Crist roos not, oure preching is veyn, oure feith is veyn. |
| 15:15 | And we ben foundun false witnessis of God, for we han seid witnessyng ayens God, that he reiside Crist, whom he reiside not, if deed men risen not ayen. |
| 15:16 | Forwhi if deed men risen not ayen, nether Crist roos ayen; |
| 15:17 | and if Crist roos not ayen, oure feith is veyn; and yit ye ben in youre synnes. |
| 15:18 | And thanne thei that han diede in Crist, han perischid. |
| 15:19 | If in this life oneli we ben hoping in Crist, we ben more wretchis than alle men. |
| 15:20 | But now Crist roos ayen fro deth, the firste fruit of deed men; |
| 15:21 | for deeth was bi a man, and bi a man is ayenrisyng fro deth. |
| 15:22 | And as in Adam alle men dien, so in Crist alle men schulen be quykenyd. |
| 15:23 | But ech man in his ordre; the firste fruit, Crist, afterward thei that ben of Crist, that bileueden in the comyng of Crist; |
| 15:24 | aftirward an ende, whanne he schal bitake the kyngdom to God and to the fadir, whanne he schal auoide al princehod, and power, and vertu. |
| 15:25 | But it bihoueth hym to regne, til he putte alle hise enemyes vndur hise feet. |
| 15:26 | And at the laste, deth the enemye schal be distried; for he hath maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet. |
| 15:27 | And whanne he seith, alle thingis ben suget to hym, with outen doubt outakun hym that sugetide alle thingis to hym. |
| 15:28 | And whanne alle thingis ben suget to hym, thanne the sone hym silf schal be suget to hym, that made `alle thingis suget to hym, that God be alle thingis in alle thingis. |
| 15:29 | Ellis what schulen thei do, that ben baptisid for deed men, if in no wise deed men risen ayen? wherto ben thei baptisid for hem? |
| 15:30 | And wherto ben we in perel euery our? |
| 15:31 | Ech dai Y die for youre glorie, britheren, which glorie Y haue in Crist Jhesu oure Lord. |
| 15:32 | If aftir man Y haue fouyten to beestis at Efesi, what profitith it to me, if deed men risen not ayen? Ete we, and drynke we, for we schulen die to morewe. |
| 15:33 | Nyle ye be disseyued; for yuel spechis distrien good thewis. |
| 15:34 | Awake ye, iuste men, and nyle ye do synne; for summen han ignoraunce of God, but to reuerence Y speke to you. |
| 15:35 | But summan seith, Hou schulen deed men rise ayen, or in what maner bodi schulen thei come? |
| 15:36 | Vnwise man, that thing that thou sowist, is not quykened, but it die first; |
| 15:37 | and that thing that thou sowist, `thou sowist not the bodi that is to come, but a nakid corn, as of whete, or of summe othere seedis; |
| 15:38 | and God yyueth to it a bodi, as he wole, and to ech of seedis a propir bodi. |
| 15:39 | Not ech fleisch is the same fleisch, but oon is of men, another is of beestis, another is of briddis, an othere of fischis. |
| 15:40 | And `heuenli bodies ben, and `ertheli bodies ben; but oon glorie is of heuenely bodies, and anothir is of ertheli. |
| 15:41 | An othere clerenesse is of the sunne, anothere clerenesse is of the moone, and anothere clerenesse is of sterris; and a sterre dyuersith fro a sterre in clerenesse. |
| 15:42 | And so the ayenrisyng of deed men. It is sowun in corrupcioun, it schal rise in vncorrupcioun; |
| 15:43 | it is sowun in vnnoblei, it schal rise in glorie; it is sowun in infirmyte, it schal rise in vertu; |
| 15:44 | it is sowun a beestly bodi, it schal rise a spiritual bodi. If ther is a beestli bodi, ther is also a spiritual bodi; |
| 15:45 | as it is writun, The firste man Adam was maad in to a soule lyuynge, the laste Adam in to a spirit quykenynge. |
| 15:46 | But the firste is not that that is spiritual, but that that is beestlich, aftirward that that is spiritual. |
| 15:47 | The firste man of erthe is ertheli; the secounde man of heuene is heuenelich. |
| 15:48 | Such as the ertheli man is, such ben the ertheli men; and such as the heueneli man is, suche ben also the heueneli men. |
| 15:49 | Therfor as we han bore the ymage of the ertheli man, bere we also the ymage of the heuenli. |
| 15:50 | Britheren, Y seie this thing, that fleisch and bloud moun not welde the kyngdom of God, nethir corrupcioun schal welde vncorrupcioun. |
| 15:51 | Lo! Y seie to you priuyte of hooli thingis. And alle we schulen rise ayen, but not alle we schulen be chaungid; |
| 15:52 | in a moment, in the twynklyng of an iye, in the laste trumpe; for the trumpe schal sowne, and deed men schulen rise ayen, with oute corrupcioun, and we schulen be chaungid. |
| 15:53 | For it byhoueth this corruptible thing to clothe vncorrupcioun, and this deedli thing to putte awei vndeedlinesse. |
| 15:54 | But whanne this deedli thing schal clothe vndeedlynesse, thanne schal the word be doon, that is writun, Deth is sopun vp in victorie. |
| 15:55 | Deth, where is thi victorie? Deth, where is thi pricke? |
| 15:56 | But the pricke of deth is synne; and the vertu of synne is the lawe. |
| 15:57 | But do we thankyngis to God, that yaf to vs victorie bi oure Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 15:58 | Therfore, my dereworthe britheren, be ye stidefast, and vnmouable, beynge plenteuouse in werk of the Lord, euere more witynge that youre trauel is not idel in the Lord. |
