述说基督复活

15 弟兄们,我如今把先前所传给你们的福音告诉你们知道。这福音你们也领受了,又靠着站立得住, 并且你们若不是徒然相信,能以持守我所传给你们的,就必因这福音得救。 我当日所领受又传给你们的,第一就是:基督照圣经所说,为我们的罪死了, 而且埋葬了,又照圣经所说第三天复活了; 并且显给矶法看,然后显给十二使徒看; 后来一时显给五百多弟兄看,其中一大半到如今还在,却也有已经睡了的; 以后显给雅各看,再显给众使徒看; 末了也显给我看,我如同未到产期而生的人一般。 我原是使徒中最小的,不配称为使徒,因为我从前逼迫神的教会。 10 然而我今日成了何等人,是蒙神的恩才成的,并且他所赐我的恩不是徒然的;我比众使徒格外劳苦,这原不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在。 11 不拘是我,是众使徒,我们如此传,你们也如此信了。

基督复活做得救的凭据

12 既传基督是从死里复活了,怎么在你们中间有人说没有死人复活的事呢? 13 若没有死人复活的事,基督也就没有复活了。 14 若基督没有复活,我们所传的便是枉然,你们所信的也是枉然。 15 并且明显我们是为神妄作见证的,因我们见证神是叫基督复活了;若死人真不复活,神也就没有叫基督复活了。 16 因为死人若不复活,基督也就没有复活了。 17 基督若没有复活,你们的信便是徒然,你们仍在罪里。 18 就是在基督里睡了的人,也灭亡了。 19 我们若靠基督只在今生有指望,就算比众人更可怜!

在基督里都要复活

20 但基督已经从死里复活,成为睡了之人初熟的果子。 21 死既是因一人而来,死人复活也是因一人而来。 22 亚当里众人都死了,照样,在基督里众人也都要复活。 23 但各人是按着自己的次序复活:初熟的果子是基督,以后在他来的时候,是那些属基督的。 24 再后末期到了,那时基督既将一切执政的、掌权的、有能的都毁灭了,就把国交于父神。 25 因为基督必要做王,等神把一切仇敌都放在他的脚下。 26 尽末了所毁灭的仇敌就是死, 27 因为经上说:“神叫万物都服在他的脚下。”既说万物都服了他,明显那叫万物服他的不在其内了。 28 万物既服了他,那时子也要自己服那叫万物服他的,叫神在万物之上、为万物之主。

29 不然,那些为死人受洗的将来怎样呢?若死人总不复活,因何为他们受洗呢? 30 我们又因何时刻冒险呢? 31 弟兄们,我在我主基督耶稣里指着你们所夸的口极力地说:我是天天冒死! 32 我若当日像寻常人在以弗所同野兽战斗,那于我有什么益处呢?若死人不复活,“我们就吃吃喝喝吧!因为明天要死了。” 33 你们不要自欺,滥交是败坏善行。 34 你们要醒悟为善,不要犯罪,因为有人不认识神。我说这话是要叫你们羞愧!

论复活之体如何

35 或有人问:“死人怎样复活,带着什么身体来呢?” 36 无知的人哪!你所种的,若不死就不能生。 37 并且你所种的不是那将来的形体,不过是子粒,即如麦子,或是别样的谷; 38 但神随自己的意思给它一个形体,并叫各等子粒各有自己的形体。 39 凡肉体各有不同:人是一样,兽又是一样,鸟又是一样,鱼又是一样。 40 有天上的形体,也有地上的形体;但天上形体的荣光是一样,地上形体的荣光又是一样。 41 日有日的荣光,月有月的荣光,星有星的荣光,这星和那星的荣光也有分别。 42 死人复活也是这样:所种的是必朽坏的,复活的是不朽坏的; 43 所种的是羞辱的,复活的是荣耀的;所种的是软弱的,复活的是强壮的; 44 所种的是血气的身体,复活的是灵性的身体。若有血气的身体,也必有灵性的身体。 45 经上也是这样记着说,首先的人亚当成了有灵[a]的活人,末后的亚当成了叫人活的灵。 46 但属灵的不在先,属血气的在先,以后才有属灵的。 47 头一个人是出于地,乃属土;第二个人是出于天。 48 那属土的怎样,凡属土的也就怎样;属天的怎样,凡属天的也就怎样。 49 我们既有属土的形状,将来也必有属天的形状。

血肉之体不能承受神的国

50 弟兄们,我告诉你们说,血肉之体不能承受神的国,必朽坏的不能承受不朽坏的。 51 我如今把一件奥秘的事告诉你们:我们不是都要睡觉,乃是都要改变, 52 就在一霎时,眨眼之间,号筒末次吹响的时候。因号筒要响,死人要复活成为不朽坏的,我们也要改变。 53 这必朽坏的总要变成[b]不朽坏的,这必死的总要变成不死的。 54 这必朽坏的既变成不朽坏的,这必死的既变成不死的,那时经上所记“死被得胜吞灭”的话就应验了。

罪是死的毒钩唯独靠基督得胜

55 “死啊,你得胜的权势在哪里?死啊,你的毒钩在哪里?” 56 死的毒钩就是罪,罪的权势就是律法。 57 感谢神,使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜! 58 所以,我亲爱的弟兄们,你们务要坚固,不可摇动,常常竭力多做主工,因为知道,你们的劳苦在主里面不是徒然的。

Resurrection Essential to the Gospel

15 Now brothers, I want to clarify[a] for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand(A) on it. You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you—unless you believed for no purpose.[b](B) For I passed on to you(C) as most important what I also received:

that Christ died(D) for our sins
according to the Scriptures,(E)
that He was buried,(F)
that He was raised on the third day(G)
according to the Scriptures,(H)
and that He appeared to Cephas,(I)
then to the Twelve.(J)
Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time;(K)
most of them are still alive,
but some have fallen asleep.
Then He appeared to James,(L)
then to all the apostles.(M)
Last of all, as to one abnormally born,[c](N)
He also appeared to me.(O)

For I am the least of the apostles,(P) unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(Q) the church of God. 10 But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me.(R) 11 Therefore, whether it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.

Resurrection Essential to the Faith

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead,(S) how can some of you say, “There is no resurrection of the dead”?(T) 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith.[d] 15 In addition, we are found to be false witnesses(U) about God, because we have testified(V) about God that He raised up Christ—whom He did not raise up if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Therefore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ(W) have also perished. 19 If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.

Christ’s Resurrection Guarantees Ours

20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits(X) of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death(Y) came through a man,(Z) the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.(AA) 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.(AB) 23 But each in his own order:(AC) Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at His coming, those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end,(AD) when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father,(AE) when He abolishes all rule and all authority and power.(AF) 25 For He must reign(AG) until He puts all His enemies under His feet.(AH) 26 The last enemy to be abolished is death.(AI) 27 For God has put everything under His feet.(AJ)[e] But when it says “everything” is put under Him, it is obvious that He who puts everything under Him is the exception. 28 And when everything is subject to Christ, then the Son(AK) Himself will also be subject to the One who subjected everything to Him, so that God may be all in all.(AL)

Resurrection Supported by Christian Experience

29 Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?[f] 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I affirm by the pride in you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: I die every day!(AM) 32 If I fought wild animals in Ephesus(AN) with only human hope,[g] what good did that do me?[h](AO) If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.(AP)[i] 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”[j] 34 Come to your senses[k](AQ) and stop sinning, for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.(AR)

The Nature of the Resurrection Body

35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?” 36 Foolish one! What you sow does not come to life(AS) unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed,[l] perhaps of wheat or another grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He wants,(AT) and to each of the seeds its own body. 39 Not all flesh(AU) is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor(AV) of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones. 41 There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for one star differs from another star in splendor. 42 So it is with the resurrection of the dead:

Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;(AW)
43 sown in dishonor,(AX) raised in glory;(AY)
sown in weakness, raised in power;(AZ)
44 sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being;(BA)[m] the last Adam(BB) became a life-giving Spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man was from the earth
and made of dust;(BC)
the second man is[n] from heaven.
48 Like the man made of dust,
so are those who are made of dust;
like the heavenly man,
so are those who are heavenly.(BD)
49 And just as we have borne
the image(BE) of the man made of dust,
we will also bear
the image of the heavenly man.(BF)

Victorious Resurrection

50 Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh(BG) and blood(BH) cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption. 51 Listen! I am telling you a mystery:

We will not all fall asleep,
but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye,
at the last trumpet.(BI)
For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we will be changed.
53 For this corruptible must be clothed(BJ)
with incorruptibility,(BK)
and this mortal must be clothed
with immortality.
54 When this corruptible is clothed
with incorruptibility,
and this mortal is clothed
with immortality,
then the saying that is written will take place:
Death has been swallowed up(BL) in victory.(BM)[o]
55 Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?(BN)[p]
56 Now the sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin(BO) is the law.(BP)
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory(BQ)
through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work,(BR) knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality(A)

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel (B)which I preached to you, which also you received and (C)in which you stand, (D)by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless (E)you believed in vain.

For (F)I delivered to you first of all that (G)which I also received: that Christ died for our sins (H)according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day (I)according to the Scriptures, (J)and that He was seen by [a]Cephas, then (K)by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have [b]fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then (L)by all the apostles. (M)Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

For I am (N)the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because (O)I persecuted the church of God. 10 But (P)by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, (Q)yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Risen Christ, Our Hope(R)

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, (S)then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because (T)we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; (U)you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have [c]fallen (V)asleep in Christ have perished. 19 (W)If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now (X)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become (Y)the firstfruits of those who have [d]fallen asleep. 21 For (Z)since by man came death, (AA)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall (AB)be made alive. 23 But (AC)each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers (AD)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign (AE)till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 (AF)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For (AG)“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 excepted. 28 (AH)Now when all things are made subject to Him, then (AI)the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

Effects of Denying the Resurrection

29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? 30 And (AJ)why do we stand in [e]jeopardy every hour? 31 I affirm, by (AK)the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, (AL)I die daily. 32 If, in the manner of men, (AM)I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, (AN)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

33 Do not be deceived: (AO)“Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 (AP)Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; (AQ)for some do not have the knowledge of God. (AR)I speak this to your shame.

A Glorious Body

35 But someone will say, (AS)“How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, (AT)what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind [f]of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

40 There are also [g]celestial bodies and [h]terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

42 (AU)So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 (AV)It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, (AW)“The first man Adam became a living being.” (AX)The last Adam became (AY)a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 (AZ)The first man was of the earth, (BA)made[i] of dust; the second Man is [j]the Lord (BB)from heaven. 48 As was the [k]man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; (BC)and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And (BD)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, (BE)we[l] shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that (BF)flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a [m]mystery: (BG)We shall not all sleep, (BH)but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. (BI)For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and (BJ)this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: (BK)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O(BL)[n] Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and (BM)the strength of sin is the law. 57 (BN)But thanks be to God, who gives us (BO)the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 (BP)Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing (BQ)that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
