| 15:1 | Brethren as pertaininge to the Gospel, whiche I preached vnto you, whiche ye haue also accepted, and in the whiche ye continue, |
| 15:2 | by whiche also ye are saued: I do you to wit, after what maner I preached vnto you yf ye kepe it, except ye haue beleued in vaine. |
| 15:3 | For fyrste of al I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued how that Christe dyd for oure synnes, agreinge to the scriptures: |
| 15:4 | and that he was buried, and that he rose agayne the thyrde daye accordinge to the scriptures |
| 15:5 | and that he was sene of Cephas, then of the twelue. |
| 15:6 | After that he was sene of more then fyue hundred brethren at ones of whiche manie remaine vnto this daie, and many are fallen a slepe. |
| 15:7 | After that appeared he to Iames, then to al the Apostles. |
| 15:8 | And last of al, he was sene of me, as of one that was borne out of due time. |
| 15:9 | For I am the leste of al the Apostles, whiche am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God. |
| 15:10 | But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me, was not in vaine, but I laboured more aboundantly then they al, not I but the grace of God which is with me. |
| 15:11 | Whether it were I or they, so we preache, and so haue ye beleued. |
| 15:12 | If Christe be preached howe that he rose from death: howe saye some? that are amonge you, that there is no resurreccion from death? |
| 15:13 | If ther be no rysinge agayne from death, then is Christe not rysen. |
| 15:14 | If Christ be not rysen, then is our preachinge vayne, and your faith is also in vaine. |
| 15:15 | Ye and we are founde false witnesses of God. For we haue testifyed of God, howe that he raysed vp Christe, whom he raysed not vp yf it be so that the deade ryse not vp againe. |
| 15:16 | For yf the dead rise not againe then is Christ not rysen againe. |
| 15:17 | Yf it be so that Christe rose not, then is youre faith in vayne, and yet are ye in youre synnes. |
| 15:18 | And ther to they which are fallen a slepe in Christ, are peryshed. |
| 15:19 | If in thys lyfe onelye we beleue on Christ, then are we of all men the miserablest. |
| 15:20 | But now in Christ rysen from the dead, and is become the fyrste fruytes of them that slepte. |
| 15:21 | For by a man came death, and by a man came the resurceccion of the dead. |
| 15:22 | For as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christe, shall all be made aliue, |
| 15:23 | and euery man in his owne order. The fyrste is Christe, then they that are Christes at his comminge. |
| 15:24 | Then commeth the ende when he hath delyuered vp the kyngedome to God the father, when he hath put doune all rule, authoritie, and power. |
| 15:25 | For he muste reigne tyll he haue put all hys enemies vnder his fete. |
| 15:26 | The laste enemy that shalbe destroied is death. |
| 15:27 | For he hath put all thinges vnder hys fete. But when he sayeth, all thinges are put vnder hym it is manifest that he is excepted, whyche dyd put all thinges vnder him. |
| 15:28 | When all thinges are subdued vnto hym: then shall the sonne also him selfe be subiecte to him that put al thinges, vnder him that God maye be all in all thinges. |
| 15:29 | Eyther els what do they, which are baptysed ouer the dead, yf the dead ryse not at all? Why are they then baptysed ouer the dead? |
| 15:30 | yea and why stande we in ieoperdy euerye houre? |
| 15:31 | By our reioysinge, whyche I haue in Christe Iesu our Lorde, I dye dayly. |
| 15:32 | That I haue fought wyth beastes at Ephesus, after the maner of men what auauntageth it me, yf the dead rise not againe? Let vs eate and drincke, to morowe we shall dye. |
| 15:33 | Be not deceiued: malicious speakinges corrupte good maners. |
| 15:34 | Awake truelye out of slepe and synne not. For some haue not the knowledge of God. I speake this vnto you: rebuke. |
| 15:35 | But some man wyl saye: howe aryse the dead? wyth what bodyes come they in? |
| 15:36 | Thou fole, that whiche thou sowest is not quickened except it dye. |
| 15:37 | And what sowest thou? Thou sowest not that bodye that shall be, but are corne (I meane either of what, or of some other) |
| 15:38 | and God geueth it a body at his pleasure, to euery seede a seuerall body. |
| 15:39 | Al fleshe is not one maner of fleshe: but there is one maner fleshe of men, another maner fleshe of beastes, another maner fleshe of fyshes, and another of byrdes. |
| 15:40 | There are celestiall bodyes, and there are bodyes terrestriall. But the glorye of the celestiall is one, and the glorye of the terrestriall another. |
| 15:41 | There is one maner glory of the sunne and another glorye of the mone, and another glory of the starres. For one starre dyffereth from another in glorye. |
| 15:42 | So is the resurreccion of the dead. It is sowen in corruption, and ryseth in incorruption. |
| 15:43 | It is sowen in dishonoure, and ryseth in honoure. It is sowen in weakenes, and ryseth in power. It is sowen a naturall bodye, and ryseth a spyrytuall bodye. |
| 15:44 | There is a naturall bodye, and there is a spiritual bodye, |
| 15:45 | as it is written: the fyrste man Adam was made a lyuinge soule, and the last Adam was made a quickeninge spirite. |
| 15:46 | Howbeit that is not fyrste whiche is spyrytual: but that which is naturall, and then that which is spyrytual. |
| 15:47 | The fyrste man is of the earth, earthlye: the seconde man is the Lorde from heauen. |
| 15:48 | As is the earthlye, such are they that are earthlye. And as is the heauenlye, suche are they that are heauenlye. |
| 15:49 | And as we haue borne the ymage of the earthly so shal we beare the Image of the heauenlye. |
| 15:50 | This saye I brethren, that fleshe and bloude can not inheryte the kyngedome of God. Neyther corruption inheryte: vncorruption. |
| 15:51 | Beholde I shewe you a mysterye. We shal not al slepe: but we shal al be chaunged, |
| 15:52 | and that in a momente & in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe, and the dead shal rise incorruptible and we shal be chaunged. |
| 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruptibilitie; and this mortal muste put on immortalytye. |
| 15:54 | When this corruptible, hath put on incorruptibilitie, and this mortal hath put on immortalite, then shalbe brought to passe the saiyng that is written. |
| 15:55 | Death is consumed into victory. Death wher is thy stynge? Hel wher is thy victory? |
| 15:56 | The stinge of death is sinne: & the strength of sinne is the lawe. |
| 15:57 | But thankes be vnto God, which hath geuen vs victory, thorowe our Lorde Iesus Christ. |
| 15:58 | Therfore my deare brethren, be ye stedfast and vnmouable alwayes ryche in the workes of the Lorde, for as much as ye knowe, howe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lorde. |
| 15:1 | Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue, |
| 15:2 | And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine. |
| 15:3 | For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, according to the Scriptures, |
| 15:4 | And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures, |
| 15:5 | And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue. |
| 15:6 | After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe. |
| 15:7 | After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles. |
| 15:8 | And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time. |
| 15:9 | For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God. |
| 15:10 | But by the grace of God, I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me. |
| 15:11 | Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued. |
| 15:12 | Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
| 15:13 | For 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 | And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be not raised. |
| 15:16 | For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised. |
| 15:17 | And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes. |
| 15:18 | And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished. |
| 15:19 | If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. |
| 15:20 | But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites 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: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe. |
| 15:24 | Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie and power. |
| 15:25 | For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete. |
| 15:26 | The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death. |
| 15:27 | For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder him.) |
| 15:28 | And when all things shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, that God may be all in all. |
| 15:29 | Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead? |
| 15:30 | Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre? |
| 15:31 | By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly. |
| 15:32 | If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall die. |
| 15:33 | Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners. |
| 15:34 | Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame. |
| 15:35 | But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth? |
| 15:36 | O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die. |
| 15:37 | And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other. |
| 15:38 | But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body, |
| 15:39 | All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes. |
| 15:40 | There are also heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is another. |
| 15:41 | There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie 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. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption. |
| 15:43 | It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power. |
| 15:44 | It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body. |
| 15:45 | As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and 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, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen. |
| 15:48 | As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly. |
| 15:49 | And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly. |
| 15:50 | This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption. |
| 15:51 | Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed, |
| 15:52 | In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe changed. |
| 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie. |
| 15:54 | So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie. |
| 15:55 | O death where is thy sting? O graue where is thy victorie? |
| 15:56 | The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe. |
| 15:57 | But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 15:58 | Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord. |
| 15:1 | Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; |
| 15:2 | By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. |
| 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; |
| 15:4 | And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: |
| 15:5 | And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: |
| 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. |
| 15:7 | After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. |
| 15:8 | And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born 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 the church of God. |
| 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. |
| 15:11 | Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. |
| 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 vain, and your faith is also vain. |
| 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. |
| 15:16 | For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: |
| 15:17 | And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. |
| 15:18 | Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. |
| 15:19 | If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. |
| 15:20 | But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits 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, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. |
| 15:23 | But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. |
| 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. |
| 15:25 | For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. |
| 15:26 | The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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? |
| 15:30 | And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? |
| 15:31 | I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. |
| 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. |
| 15:33 | Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. |
| 15:34 | Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. |
| 15:35 | But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? |
| 15:36 | Thou fool, 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 grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: |
| 15:38 | But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own 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 celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. |
| 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. |
| 15:42 | So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: |
| 15:43 | It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: |
| 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. |
| 15:45 | And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. |
| 15:46 | Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. |
| 15:47 | The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. |
| 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. |
| 15:49 | And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. |
| 15:50 | Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. |
| 15:51 | Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, |
| 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. |
| 15:53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. |
| 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. |
| 15:55 | O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? |
| 15:56 | The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. |
| 15:57 | But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 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. |
