| 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. |
| 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 to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, |
| 15:2 | by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory that which I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain. |
| 15:3 | Because, I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: how 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 by Cephas, then by the twelve. |
| 15:6 | After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. |
| 15:7 | After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. |
| 15:8 | Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. |
| 15:9 | Because, I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy 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 imparted to me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. |
| 15:11 | Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. |
| 15:12 | Now if Christ is preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
| 15:13 | But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. |
| 15:14 | And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is also in vain. |
| 15:15 | Yes, and we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up, if in fact the dead do not rise. |
| 15:16 | Because, if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. |
| 15:17 | And if Christ is not risen, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins! |
| 15:18 | Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. |
| 15:19 | If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. |
| 15:20 | But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who sleep. |
| 15:21 | Because, since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. |
| 15:22 | Because as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive. |
| 15:23 | But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. |
| 15:24 | Then comes the end, when He will have delivered the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He puts down all rule and all authority and power. |
| 15:25 | Because, He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. |
| 15:26 | The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. |
| 15:27 | Because "He has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is the exception. |
| 15:28 | Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. |
| 15:29 | Otherwise, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? |
| 15:30 | And why do we stand in danger every hour? |
| 15:31 | I affirm, by the boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. |
| 15:32 | If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we die!" |
| 15:33 | Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good morals." |
| 15:34 | Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; because some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. |
| 15:35 | But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?" |
| 15:36 | Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. |
| 15:37 | And what you sow, you do not sow that body that will be, but mere grain, perhaps wheat or some other grain. |
| 15:38 | But God gives it a body as it has pleased Him, and to each seed its own body. |
| 15:39 | All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. |
| 15:40 | There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; 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, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; because one star differs from another star in glory. |
| 15:42 | So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. |
| 15:43 | It is sown in dishonor, 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 became a living soul." The last Adam became a life giving spirit. |
| 15:46 | However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward that which is spiritual. |
| 15:47 | The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. |
| 15:48 | As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. |
| 15:49 | And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the Heavenly. |
| 15:50 | Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. |
| 15:51 | Behold, I show you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, |
| 15:52 | in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. Because, the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. |
| 15:53 | Because, this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. |
| 15:54 | So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." |
| 15:55 | "O Death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" |
| 15:56 | The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. |
| 15:57 | But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 15:58 | Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. |
