哥林多前书 15
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
基督照聖經所記的復活了
15 弟兄們，我要把我從前傳給你們的福音向你們講明。這福音你們已經領受了，並且靠著它站立得穩。 2 你們若持守我所傳給你們的道，就必靠這福音得救，不然就是徒然相信了。 3 我從前領受了又傳交給你們那最要緊的，就是基督照著聖經所記的，為我們的罪死了， 4 又埋葬了，又照著聖經所記的，第三天復活了； 5 並且曾經向磯法顯現，然後向十二使徒顯現。 6 以後又有一次向五百多個弟兄顯現。他們中間大多數到現今還在，也有些已經睡了。 7 以後也向雅各顯現，再後又向眾使徒顯現， 8 最後也向我顯現；我好像一個未到產期而生的人。 9 我原是使徒中最小的，本來沒有資格稱為使徒，因為我曾經迫害 神的教會。 10 然而靠著 神的恩典，我得以有了今天，而且他賜給我的恩典並沒有落空；我比眾使徒格外勞苦，其實不是我，而是 神的恩典與我同在。 11 因此，不論是我，或是眾使徒，我們這樣傳，你們也這樣信了。
死人都要復活
12 我們既然傳基督從死人中復活了，你們中間怎麼有人說沒有死人復活呢？ 13 倘若沒有死人復活的事，基督也就沒有復活了。 14 如果基督沒有復活，我們所傳的就是枉然，你們的信也是枉然， 15 我們也會被人認為是替 神作假見證的了，因為我們為 神作過見證說，他使基督復活了。如果死人沒有復活， 神也就沒有使基督復活了。 16 因為如果死人沒有復活，基督也就沒有復活。 17 基督若沒有復活，你們的信就是徒然，你們仍在你們的罪裡。 18 那麼，在基督裡睡了的人也就滅亡了。 19 如果我們在基督裡只在今生有盼望，就比所有人更可憐了。
20 現在基督已經從死人中復活，成為睡了的人初熟的果子。 21 死既藉著一人而來，死人復活也藉著一人而來。 22 在亞當裡眾人都死了，照樣，在基督裡眾人也都要復活； 23 只是各人要按著自己的次序：初熟的果子是基督，以後，在他來的時候，是那些屬基督的人。 24 再後，末期到了的時候，基督把所有的統治者、掌權者和有能者都毀滅了，就把國度交給父 神。 25 因為基督必要作王，直到 神把所有的仇敵都放在他的腳下。 26 最後要毀滅的仇敵就是死， 27 因為經上記著說：“他使萬物都服在他腳下。”既然說萬物都服了他，顯然那使萬物服他的就不包括在內了。 28 等到萬物都服了他，那時子自己也要服那位叫萬物服他的，好使 神在萬有之上。
29 不然，那些為死人受洗的，是為了甚麼呢？如果死人根本不會復活，那麼為甚麼要為他們受洗呢？ 30 我們又為甚麼時刻冒險呢？ 31 弟兄們，我是天天冒死的，這是我憑著我在我們的主耶穌基督裡，因你們而誇口說的。 32 我在以弗所和野獸搏鬥，如果照著人的意思來看，那對我有甚麼益處呢？如果死人不會復活，
“我們就吃吃喝喝吧，
因為我們明天就要死了。”
33 你們不要自欺，
“濫交朋友是會敗壞品德的。”
34 你們理當醒悟過來，不要犯罪，因為你們中間有人不認識 神；我說這話是要你們羞愧。
復活的身體
35 但有人會說：“死人怎樣復活呢？要帶著怎麼樣的身體來呢？” 36 無知的人哪，你所種的若不死去，就不能生。 37 你們所種的，不是那將來要長成的形體，只不過是一粒種子，也許是麥子或別的種子。 38 但 神隨著自己的意思給它一個形體，給每一樣種子各有自己的形體。 39 而且各種身體也都不一樣，人有人的身體，獸有獸的身體，鳥有鳥的身體，魚有魚的身體。 40 有天上的形體，也有地上的形體；天上形體的榮光是一樣，地上形體的榮光又是一樣。 41 太陽有太陽的榮光，月亮有月亮的榮光，星星有星星的榮光，而且每一顆星的榮光也都不同。
42 死人復活也是這樣。所種的是必朽壞的，復活的是不朽壞的； 43 所種的是卑賤的，復活的是榮耀的；所種的是軟弱的，復活的是有能力的； 44 所種的是屬血氣的身體，復活的是屬靈的身體。既然有屬血氣的身體，也會有屬靈的身體。 45 經上也是這樣記著說：“第一個人亞當成了有生命的活人，末後的亞當成了使人活的靈。” 46 但那首先的不是屬靈的，而是屬血氣的，然後才有屬靈的。 47 第一個人是出於地，是屬土的；第二個人是出於天。 48 那屬土的怎樣，所有屬土的也都怎樣；屬天的怎樣，所有屬天的也都怎樣。 49 我們既然有了屬土的形象，將來也必有屬天的形象。
50 弟兄們，我告訴你們，血肉之體不能承受 神的國，必朽壞的也不能承受那不朽壞的。 51-52 我現在把一個奧祕告訴你們：我們不是都要睡覺，而是在一剎那，眨眼之間，就是號角最後一次吹響的時候，我們都要改變；因為號角要吹響，死人要復活，成為不朽壞的，我們也要改變。 53 這必朽壞的必須穿上不朽壞的，這必死的必須穿上不死的； 54 這必朽壞的既穿上了不朽壞的，這必死的既穿上了不死的，那時，經上的話就應驗了：
“勝利了！死亡已經被吞滅。
55 死亡啊！你的勝利在哪裡？
死亡啊！你的毒刺在哪裡？”
56 死的毒刺就是罪，罪的權勢就是律法。 57 感謝 神，他藉著我們的主耶穌基督，把勝利賜給我們。 58 所以，我親愛的弟兄們，你們務要堅固，不可動搖，常常竭力多作主工，因為知道你們的勞苦，在主裡面不是徒然的。
哥林多前书 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
基督的复活
15 弟兄姊妹，我希望你们记住我传给你们的福音，就是你们曾经领受，向来坚持的福音。 2 你们若持守我传给你们的，必因这福音而得救——除非你们没有真正相信。
3 我所领受并传给你们的最重要的信息是：基督照圣经的记载为我们的罪死了， 4 然后被埋葬了；又照圣经的记载在第三天复活了， 5 并曾向彼得显现，又向十二使徒显现； 6 后来有一次向五百多位弟兄姊妹显现，其中有许多至今依然健在，也有些已经安息了； 7 随后，祂向雅各显现，又向众使徒显现； 8 到最后，竟也向我这好像未按产期出生[a]的人显现。
9 在众使徒中我最微不足道，根本不配称为使徒，因为我曾迫害上帝的教会。 10 但靠着上帝的恩典，我成了今天的我，祂赐给我的恩典没有枉费。我比其他人更加卖力，不过我不是靠自己，而是上帝的恩典与我同在。 11 不论是我传的还是其他使徒传的，我们怎样传，你们也怎样相信了。
死人复活
12 既然我们一直都在传扬基督已经从死里复活，怎么你们当中却有些人否定死人复活的事呢？ 13 要是没有死人复活的事，基督也就没有复活。 14 如果基督没有复活，我们所传的就是虚空，你们所信的也是虚空。 15 而且，我们就是在为上帝做假见证，因为我们见证上帝已经使基督复活了。如果没有死人复活的事，上帝也就没有叫基督复活。 16 如果人死了不会复活，基督也就没有复活。 17 如果基督没有复活，你们的信仰就是虚空，你们依旧沉沦在罪中， 18 那些在基督里安息的人也灭亡了。 19 如果我们对基督的盼望只在今世，我们就是世上最可怜的人。
20 然而，基督已经从死里复活，祂是死人中第一个复活的[b]。 21 既然死亡的到来是借着一人，复活的到来也是借着一人。 22 因为正如在亚当里众人都死了，同样，在基督里众人也都要复活。 23 然而，各人要按照先后次序复活。基督最先复活，以后祂再来时，属祂的人也要复活。 24 最后末日来临，那时基督会废除一切执政的、掌权的、有能力的，将国度交给父上帝。 25 因为基督必执掌王权，直到上帝将所有的仇敌都放在祂脚下。 26 祂最后要毁灭的仇敌就是死亡。 27 因为圣经上说：“上帝使万物降服在祂脚下。”当然，这里说的“万物都降服祂”不包括使万物降服祂的上帝。 28 到了万物都归服基督以后，圣子基督也要归服那使万物归服祂的上帝，使上帝做万物的主宰。
29 否则，那些人代替死人受洗有什么意义呢？死人如果不会复活，为什么要代替他们受洗呢？ 30 我们又何必时刻身临险境呢？ 31 我天天与死亡搏斗。弟兄姊妹，我这样说，就跟我在主基督耶稣里以你们为荣一样，没有半点虚假。 32 从人的角度看，我在以弗所与那些“恶兽”格斗对我有什么益处呢？如果死人不会复活，“让我们吃喝吧！因为明天我们就死了。” 33 你们不要上当受骗，“交坏朋友会败坏好品德”。 34 你们该醒悟了！不要继续犯罪，因为你们当中有些人不认识上帝。我说这话是要叫你们羞愧。
复活后的身体
35 或许有人会问：“死人怎样复活呢？复活后会有怎样的身体呢？” 36 无知的人啊！你们种下的种子必须先死，然后才能生长。 37 而且，你们种下的并不是那将来要长成的形体，仅仅是种子，或麦种，或其他种子。 38 上帝按自己的旨意赐给种子形体，每个种子都有自己的形体。 39 血肉之体各不相同，人、鱼、鸟、兽都各有不同的形体。
40 此外，有天上的形体，也有地上的形体，两者的荣光各不相同。 41 日有日的荣光，月有月的荣光，星有星的荣光，这颗星和那颗星的荣光也有分别。
42 死人复活也是同样的道理。种下去的会朽坏，复活的不会朽坏； 43 种下去的是羞耻的，复活的是荣耀的；种下去的是软弱的，复活的是刚强的； 44 种下去的是血肉之躯，复活的是属灵的形体。既有血肉之躯，也必有属灵的形体。 45 圣经上也说：“第一个亚当成了有生命的人”，但末后的亚当是赐人生命的灵。 46 先有的不是属灵的形体，而是血肉之躯，以后才有属灵的形体。 47 第一个人亚当来自地上，是用尘土造的，但第二个人基督来自天上。 48 尘土所造的那位是什么样，属地的人也是什么样；从天而来的那位是什么样，属天的人也是什么样。 49 我们既然有属地的形象，将来也必有属天的形象。
50 弟兄姊妹，我告诉你们，血肉之躯不能承受上帝的国，必朽坏的身体也不能承受永不朽坏的产业。 51 听着，我要告诉你们一个奥秘：我们并不是都要死亡[c]，乃是都要改变—— 52 就在一刹那，眨眼之间，最后的号角吹响的时候。因为号角一吹响，死人就要复活成为永不朽坏的，我们也要改变。 53 那时，这必朽的身体要变成不朽的，这必死的要变成不死的。 54 当这一切发生的时候，就应验了圣经上的话：
“死亡被胜利吞灭了。”
55 “死亡啊！你得胜的权势在哪里？
死亡啊！你的毒钩在哪里？”
56 死亡的毒钩就是罪，罪借着律法施展它的权势。 57 但感谢上帝，祂使我们靠着主耶稣基督得胜。
58 所以，我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们务要坚定不移，总要竭力做主的工作，因为你们知道自己在主里面的辛勤付出不会白费。
1 Corinthians 15
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
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;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
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.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
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.
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.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
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?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
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.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
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.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
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.
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.
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?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
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.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
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:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
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.
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.
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.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; 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, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
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.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
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.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
1 Corinthians 15
New Century Version
The Good News About Christ
15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to remember the Good News I brought to you. You received this Good News and continue strong in it. 2 And you are being saved by it if you continue believing what I told you. If you do not, then you believed for nothing.
3 I passed on to you what I received, of which this was most important: that Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say; 4 that he was buried and was raised to life on the third day as the Scriptures say; 5 and that he was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. 6 After that, Jesus was seen by more than five hundred of the believers at the same time. Most of them are still living today, but some have died. 7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all he was seen by me—as by a person not born at the normal time. 9 All the other apostles are greater than I am. I am not even good enough to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But God’s grace has made me what I am, and his grace to me was not wasted. I worked harder than all the other apostles. (But it was not I really; it was God’s grace that was with me.) 11 So if I preached to you or the other apostles preached to you, we all preach the same thing, and this is what you believed.
We Will Be Raised from the Dead
12 Now since we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, why do some of you say that people will not be raised from the dead? 13 If no one is ever raised from the dead, then Christ has not been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is worth nothing. 15 And also, we are guilty of lying about God, because we testified of him that he raised Christ from the dead. But if people are not raised from the dead, then God never raised Christ. 16 If the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith has nothing to it; you are still guilty of your sins. 18 And those in Christ who have already died are lost. 19 If our hope in Christ is for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone else in the world.
20 But Christ has truly been raised from the dead—the first one and proof that those who sleep in death will also be raised. 21 Death has come because of what one man did, but the rising from death also comes because of one man. 22 In Adam all of us die. In the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again. 23 But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. When Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life, 24 and then the end will come. At that time Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers, and he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. 25 Christ must rule until he puts all enemies under his control. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. 27 The Scripture says that God put all things under his control.[a] When it says “all things” are under him, it is clear this does not include God himself. God is the One who put everything under his control. 28 After everything has been put under the Son, then he will put himself under God, who had put all things under him. Then God will be the complete ruler over everything.
29 If the dead are never raised, what will people do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people being baptized for them?
30 And what about us? Why do we put ourselves in danger every hour? 31 I die every day. That is true, brothers and sisters, just as it is true that I brag about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild animals in Ephesus only with human hopes, I have gained nothing. If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we will die.”[b]
33 Do not be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.” 34 Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you do not know God—I say this to shame you.
What Kind of Body Will We Have?
35 But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?” 36 Foolish person! When you sow a seed, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow. 37 And when you sow it, it does not have the same “body” it will have later. What you sow is only a bare seed, maybe wheat or something else. 38 But God gives it a body that he has planned for it, and God gives each kind of seed its own body. 39 All things made of flesh are not the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have another. 40 Also there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the beauty of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon has another beauty, and the stars have another. And each star is different in its beauty.
42 It is the same with the dead who are raised to life. The body that is “planted” will ruin and decay, but it is raised to a life that cannot be destroyed. 43 When the body is “planted,” it is without honor, but it is raised in glory. When the body is “planted,” it is weak, but when it is raised, it is powerful. 44 The body that is “planted” is a physical body. When it is raised, it is a spiritual body.
There is a physical body, and there is also a spiritual body. 45 It is written in the Scriptures: “The first man, Adam, became a living person.”[c] But the last Adam became a spirit that gives life. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the physical and then the spiritual. 47 The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven. 48 People who belong to the earth are like the first man of earth. But those people who belong to heaven are like the man of heaven. 49 Just as we were made like the man of earth, so we will[d] also be made like the man of heaven.
50 I tell you this, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot have a part in the kingdom of God. Something that will ruin cannot have a part in something that never ruins. 51 But look! I tell you this secret: We will not all sleep in death, but we will all be changed. 52 It will take only a second—as quickly as an eye blinks—when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet will sound, and those who have died will be raised to live forever, and we will all be changed. 53 This body that can be destroyed must clothe itself with something that can never be destroyed. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that can never die. 54 So this body that can be destroyed will clothe itself with that which can never be destroyed, and this body that dies will clothe itself with that which can never die. When this happens, this Scripture will be made true:
“Death is destroyed forever in victory.” Isaiah 25:8
55 “Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your pain?” Hosea 13:14
56 Death’s power to hurt is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But we thank God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Do not let anything move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.
