Ang Muling Pagkabuhay ni Cristo
15 Mga kapatid, nais kong ipaalala sa inyo ang Magandang Balita na ipinangaral ko sa inyo. Ito ang aral na inyong tinanggap at hanggang ngayon ay pinaninindigan ninyo. 2 Sa pamamagitan nitoʼy maliligtas kayo kung panghahawakan ninyong mabuti ang ipinangaral ko, maliban na lamang kung hindi talaga tunay ang inyong pananampalataya.
3 Sapagkat ibinigay ko sa inyo ang pinakamahalagang aral na ibinigay sa akin: Na si Cristoʼy namatay upang iligtas tayo sa ating mga kasalanan, ayon sa Kasulatan. 4 Inilibing siya ngunit muling nabuhay sa ikatlong araw, ayon din sa Kasulatan. 5 Nagpakita siya kay Pedro, at sa iba pang 12 apostol. 6 Pagkatapos, nagpakita rin siya sa mahigit 500 na mga kapatid na nagkakatipon. Karamihan sa kanilaʼy buhay pa hanggang ngayon, ngunit ang ilan sa kanila ay patay na. 7 Nagpakita rin siya kay Santiago, at pagkatapos sa lahat ng apostol.
8 At sa kahuli-hulihan ay nagpakita rin siya sa akin. Ang katulad koʼy isang sanggol na ipinanganak nang wala sa panahon dahil biglaan ang aking pagkakilala sa kanya. 9 Ako ang pinakahamak sa mga apostol at hindi nga ako karapat-dapat tawaging apostol dahil inusig ko ang iglesya ng Dios. 10 Ngunit dahil sa awa ng Dios sa akin, naging apostol ako. At hindi nasayang ang biyayang ipinagkaloob niya sa akin, dahil higit akong nagpagal kung ihahambing sa ibang mga apostol, bagamaʼt itoʼy sa pamamagitan ng tulong ng Dios at hindi ng aking sarili lamang. 11 Kaya nga, walang pagkakaiba kung sila o ako ang nangangaral sa inyo. Ang mahalagaʼy iisa ang aming ipinangangaral at iyon din ang inyong pinananaligan.
Ang Muling Pagkabuhay ng mga Patay
12 Ngayon, kung ipinangangaral namin sa inyo na si Cristoʼy muling nabuhay, bakit sinasabi ng ilan sa inyo na walang muling pagkabuhay? 13 Kung totoong walang muling pagkabuhay, nangangahulugan na maging si Cristo ay hindi rin muling nabuhay. 14 At kung si Cristoʼy hindi muling nabuhay, walang kabuluhan ang aming pangangaral, at wala ring silbi ang inyong pananampalataya. 15 At hindi lang iyan, lalabas din na sinungaling kami tungkol sa Dios dahil ipinapahayag namin na binuhay niyang muli si Cristo. 16 Ngunit hindi siya muling nabuhay kung talagang walang muling pagkabuhay. 17 At kung si Cristoʼy hindi muling nabuhay, walang silbi ang inyong pananampalataya at hindi pa kayo napapatawad sa inyong mga kasalanan. 18 At nangangahulugan din na ang mga mananampalataya kay Cristo na namatay na ay hindi naligtas. 19 Kung ang pag-asa natin kay Cristo ay hanggang sa buhay na ito lamang, tayo ang pinakakawawa sa lahat ng tao.
20 Ngunit ang totoo, muling nabuhay si Cristo bilang katibayan na muling bubuhayin ang mga patay. 21 Dahil sa isang tao na si Adan, dumating ang kamatayan sa lahat ng tao. At dahil din sa isang tao na si Cristo, muling mabubuhay ang mga patay. 22 Sapagkat kung paanong tayong mga tao ay mamamatay dahil sa kaugnayan natin kay Adan, ganoon din naman, dahil sa ating kaugnayan kay Cristo, tayong lahat ay muling mabubuhay. 23 Ngunit may kanya-kanyang takdang panahon ang muling pagkabuhay. Unang nabuhay si Cristo; pagkatapos, ang mga nakay Cristo naman ang bubuhayin pagbalik niya rito sa mundo. 24 At pagkatapos nito, darating ang katapusan. Lulupigin niya ang lahat ng kaharian, pamahalaan at kapangyarihan, at ibibigay ang paghahari sa Dios Ama. 25 Sapagkat si Cristoʼy dapat maghari hanggang sa lubusan niyang malupig ang lahat ng kanyang mga kaaway. 26 At ang huling kaaway na kanyang lulupigin ay ang kamatayan. 27 Sinasabi sa Kasulatan na ang lahat ng bagay ay ipinasakop ng Dios kay Cristo.[a] Ngunit sa salitang “lahat ng bagay,” hindi nangangahulugan na kasama rito ang Dios na siyang nagpasakop ng lahat ng bagay sa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ni Cristo. 28 At kung ang lahat ay naipasakop na sa kapangyarihan ni Cristo, maging si Cristo ay magpapasakop sa Dios na siyang naglagay ng lahat ng bagay sa ilalim ng kanyang kapangyarihan, upang ang Dios ang siyang maghari sa lahat.
29 May mga taong nagpapabautismo para sa mga namatay. Ano ang halaga ng ginagawa nila kung hindi naman muling mabubuhay ang mga patay? 30 At bakit pa namin inilalagay ang aming mga sarili sa panganib oras-oras? 31 Araw-araw akong nasa bingit ng kamatayan, mga kapatid! At kung paanong totoo na ipinagmamalaki ko kayo sa ating pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon, totoo rin ang sinasabi kong ito. 32 Nahihirapan ako dito sa Efeso, dahil ang mga kumakalaban sa akin ay tulad ng mababangis na hayop. Kung ang paghihirap kong itoʼy para lang sa kapakanan ng tao sa buhay na ito, ano ang kabuluhan nito? Kung totoong hindi na mabubuhay ang mga patay, mabuti pang sundin na lang natin ang kasabihang, “Kumain tayoʼt uminom, dahil baka bukas, mamamatay na tayo.”
33 Huwag kayong palilinlang sa kasabihang iyan. Sa halip, ito ang inyong paniwalaan: “Ang masasamang kasamaʼy nakakasira ng mabuting ugali.” 34 Magpakatino kayo at talikuran nʼyo na ang kasalanan. Sinasabi ko ito upang mahiya kayo sa inyong sarili, dahil may ilan sa inyo na mali ang pagkakakilala sa Dios.
Ang Katawan sa Muling Pagkabuhay
35 Maaaring may magtanong, “Paano bubuhaying muli ang mga patay? Anong uri ng katawan ang matatanggap nila?” 36 Ito ang sagot ko sa taong iyan na walang nalalaman: Ang inihahasik na binhi ay hindi mabubuhay hanggaʼt hindi ito namamatay. 37 At kahit anong binhi ang itanim mo, trigo man o ibang binhi, magiging iba ang anyo nito kapag tumubo na. 38 Ang Dios ang nagbibigay anyo sa binhing iyon, ayon sa kanyang kalooban. At ang bawat binhi ay may kanya-kanyang anyo kapag tumubo na.
39 Ganoon din sa katawan; hindi lahat ng katawan ay pare-pareho. Iba ang katawan ng tao, ng hayop, ng ibon at ng isda.
40 May mga katawang panlupa at may mga katawang panlangit, at ang bawat isaʼy may kanya-kanyang kagandahan. Iba ang kagandahan ng katawan dito sa lupa, at iba rin naman ang kagandahan ng katawan doon sa langit. 41 Iba ang ningning ng araw sa ningning ng buwan, at iba rin naman ang ningning ng mga bituin. At kahit ang mga bituin ay may ibaʼt ibang ningning.
42 Ganyan din sa muling pagkabuhay ng mga patay. Ang katawang inilibing ay mabubulok, ngunit kapag itoʼy muling binuhay, hindi na ito mabubulok kailanman. 43 Ang katawang inilibing ay pangit at mahina, ngunit kapag itoʼy muling binuhay, itoʼy maganda na at malakas. 44 Ang katawang inilibing ay panlupa, ngunit kapag itoʼy muling binuhay, itoʼy panlangit na. Sapagkat kung mayroong katawang panlupa ay mayroon din namang katawang panlangit. 45 Sinasabi sa Kasulatan, “Ang unang tao na si Adan ay binigyan ng buhay.” Ngunit ang huling Adan na si Cristo ay espiritung nagbibigay-buhay. 46 Hindi ang panlangit na katawan ang nauna kundi ang panlupa, at pagkatapos noon ay ang panlangit naman. 47 Ang unang tao na si Adan ay mula sa lupa, ngunit ang pangalawang tao na si Cristo ay mula sa langit. 48 Ang katawang panlupa ay katulad ng katawan ng tao na gawa sa lupa, at ang katawang panlangit ay katulad ng katawan ng nagmula sa langit. 49 Kaya kung paanong ang katawan natin ngayon ay katulad ng kay Adan na nagmula sa lupa, darating ang araw na ang katawan natin ay magiging katulad ng kay Cristo na nagmula sa langit.
50 Mga kapatid, ito ang gusto kong sabihin: Ang ating katawan na binubuo ng laman at dugo ay hindi magkakaroon ng bahagi sa paghahari ng Dios. Ang katawang ito na nabubulok ay hindi maaaring makatanggap ng buhay na walang hanggan.
51 Ngunit makinig kayo dahil may sasabihin ako sa inyo na isang lihim: Hindi lahat sa atin ay mamamatay, ngunit tayong lahat ay bibigyan ng bagong katawan 52 sa isang iglap, sa isang kisap-mata, kasabay ng pagtunog ng huling trumpeta. At sa pagtunog ng trumpetaʼy muling bubuhayin ang mga patay at bibigyan ng katawang hindi nabubulok. At tayong mga buhay pa ay bibigyan din ng bagong katawan. 53 Sapagkat itong katawan nating nabubulok at namamatay ay dapat mapalitan ng katawang hindi nabubulok at hindi namamatay. 54 At kapag ang katawang ito na nabubulok at namamatay ay napalitan na ng katawang hindi nabubulok at hindi namamatay, matutupad na ang sinasabi sa Kasulatan na,
“Nalupig na ang kamatayan; ganap na ang tagumpay!”
55 “Nasaan, O kamatayan, ang iyong tagumpay?
Nasaan na ang iyong kapangyarihan?”
56 May kapangyarihan lamang ang kamatayan sa atin dahil sa kasalanan, at may kapangyarihan ang kasalanan sa atin dahil mayroong Kautusan. 57 Ngunit salamat sa Dios dahil binigyan niya tayo ng tagumpay sa mga bagay na ito sa pamamagitan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 58 Kaya nga, mga minamahal na kapatid, magpakatatag kayo at huwag manghina sa inyong pananampalataya. Magpakasipag kayo sa gawaing ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, dahil alam ninyo na hindi masasayang ang mga paghihirap ninyo para sa kanya.

1 Corinthians 15
Worldwide English (New Testament)
1 Corinthians 15
Worldwide English (New Testament)
15 Now, my brothers, I want to bring the good news to your minds again. I told it to you and you received it. You now believe it.
2 You are saved by it, if you hold on to what I told you. If you do not, then you have believed for nothing.
3 I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.
4 He was buried. He was raised on the third day, as the holy writings said.
5 Peter saw him, and then all the twelve disciples saw him.
6 After that, more than five hundred Christian brothers saw him at one time. Most of them are still living, but some have died.
7 After that, James saw him. Then all the apostles saw him.
8 Last of all, I saw him too. I was like one who was born at the wrong time.
9 The other apostles are all greater than I am. I should not be called an apostle because I troubled the people of God's church.
10 But God has been kind to me. He has made me what I am today. And he did not bless me for nothing. I did more work than any of them. Yet it was not I, but the loving kindness of God was working with me.
11 So it does not matter who gave the message, they or I. This is the message we gave, and this is the message you believed.
12 You have been told that Christ was raised from death. How can some of you say that dead people do not rise again?
13 If dead people do not rise, Christ did not rise.
14 And if Christ did not rise, then what we told you was not true, and what you believe is not true.
15 If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.
16 If dead people are not raised, then Christ was not raised either.
17 If Christ was not raised, then what you believe is no good. Your wrong ways have not been forgiven.
18 If that were true, then the people who believed in Christ who have now died, are lost.
19 And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.
20 But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.
21 It was a man who first brought death. So it was also a man who was first raised from death.
22 All people who are of Adam die. And so also, all people who belong to Christ will live.
23 But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.
24 After that the end will come. Christ will hand over the ruling power to God the Father. Christ will stop all other rulers, and everyone who has any rights and power.
25 Christ must rule until God has all power over all his enemies.
26 Death is the last enemy to be destroyed.
27 The holy writings say, `God has put all things under Christ.' But it does not mean that God is under Christ. God is the one who put all things under him.
28 One day the Son will be over all things. And God will be over the Son. So in the end God will be over all things.
29 Another thing, what good is it for people to be baptized for dead people? If dead people are not raised, why are some people baptized for them?
30 And why are we in trouble all the time?
31 I face death every day! That is true. Just the way it is true that I am proud of you, my brothers. I am proud that you belong to Christ Jesus.
32 I fought against wild animals at Ephesus. If I was thinking only of life on earth, why did I do this? If dead people do not rise, then we might just as well say, `Let us eat and drink because we will die tomorrow.'
33 Do not be fooled. `If good people keep company with bad people, the good people will become bad too.'
34 Wake up! Do what is right. Stop doing wrong things. Some of you do not know God at all. I say these things to you to make you ashamed.
35 But someone will ask, `How can dead people be raised? What kind of body will they have when they come back from death?'
36 What foolish questions! The seed you put in the ground must die before it can come to life.
37 You do not put a grown-up plant in the ground. You put in a seed, such as corn, wheat, rice, or something like that.
38 God gives the seed the body he wants it to have. He gives a different kind of body to every kind of seed.
39 Not all living bodies are alike. People have one kind of body. Animals have another kind of body. Fish another kind of body. Birds have another kind.
40 So too, there are bodies for the sky and bodies for the earth. The bodies for the sky are fine in one way, and the bodies for the earth are fine in another way. They are not alike.
41 The sun is fine in one way. The moon is fine in another way. The stars are fine in still another way. And one star is fine in a different way from another star.
42 So it is with the body that is raised from death. When it is put in the ground it is a body that dies. When it rises from death, it will never die again.
43 When it is put in the ground, it is not fine. When it rises, it is very fine. When it is put in the ground it has no strength. When it rises it is strong.
44 When it is put in the ground it is only a body for this world. When it rises it is a body for the spirit. If there is a body for this world, then there is also a body for the spirit.
45 The holy writings say, `The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam [Christ] is a Spirit who gives life.'
46 The body for the spirit does not come first. The body for this world comes first. Then comes the body for the spirit.
47 The first man came from earth. He was made from the dust of the earth. The second Adam is the Lord from heaven.
48 Those who are made of earth are like the man made of dust. Those who are for heaven are like the man from heaven.
49 We were made like the man of dust but we shall look like the man from heaven.
50 Now I tell you, my brothers, our bodies of flesh and blood can have no place in the kingdom where God rules. A body which will die can have no room in the kingdom of God where people will never die. 51,
51 Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.
52 This body which dies must become a body which will never die.
53 When this body which dies becomes one which will never die, what the holy writings say comes true. It says, `Death is overcome by victory.
54 Death, you have lost the battle. Death, your power to hurt us is gone.'
55 Death hurts us because we are bad people. And our wrong ways are so strong because of the law.
56 But I thank God that he gives us power to stop being wrong through our Lord Jesus Christ.
57 So, my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not be moved from what you believe. Work hard for the Lord. You know that your work for the Lord will not be for nothing.

New International Version
1 Corinthians 15
New International Version
The Resurrection of Christ
15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel(A) I preached to you,(B) which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved,(C) if you hold firmly(D) to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received(E) I passed on to you(F) as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins(G) according to the Scriptures,(H) 4 that he was buried,(I) that he was raised(J) on the third day(K) according to the Scriptures,(L) 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b](M) and then to the Twelve.(N) 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.(O) 7 Then he appeared to James,(P) then to all the apostles,(Q) 8 and last of all he appeared to me also,(R) as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles(S) and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(T) the church of God.(U) 10 But by the grace(V) of God I am what I am, and his grace to me(W) was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them(X)—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.(Y) 11 Whether, then, it is I or they,(Z) this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
The Resurrection of the Dead
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead,(AA) how can some of you say that there is no resurrection(AB) of the dead?(AC) 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised,(AD) our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.(AE) But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.(AF) 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep(AG) in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.(AH)
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,(AI) the firstfruits(AJ) of those who have fallen asleep.(AK) 21 For since death came through a man,(AL) the resurrection of the dead(AM) comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.(AN) 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;(AO) then, when he comes,(AP) those who belong to him.(AQ) 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom(AR) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.(AS) 25 For he must reign(AT) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(AU) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(AV) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c](AW) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.(AX) 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,(AY) so that God may be all in all.(AZ)
29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?(BA) 31 I face death every day(BB)—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts(BC) in Ephesus(BD) with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
33 Do not be misled:(BF) “Bad company corrupts good character.”[e](BG) 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God(BH)—I say this to your shame.(BI)
The Resurrection Body
35 But someone will ask,(BJ) “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”(BK) 36 How foolish!(BL) What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.(BM) 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.(BN) 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor,(BO) the moon another and the stars another;(BP) and star differs from star in splendor.
42 So will it be(BQ) with the resurrection of the dead.(BR) The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;(BS) 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;(BT) it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.(BU)
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”[f];(BV) the last Adam,(BW) a life-giving spirit.(BX) 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.(BY) 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth;(BZ) the second man is of heaven.(CA) 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.(CB) 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,(CC) so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man.(CD)
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood(CE) cannot inherit the kingdom of God,(CF) nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.(CG) 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery:(CH) We will not all sleep,(CI) but we will all be changed(CJ)— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,(CK) the dead(CL) will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable(CM) must clothe itself with the imperishable,(CN) and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h](CO)
56 The sting of death is sin,(CQ) and the power of sin is the law.(CR) 57 But thanks be to God!(CS) He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.(CT)
58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,(CU) because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.(CV)
