哥林多前書 15
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

復活是福音的核心

15 弟兄們，我要你們明白我先前所傳給你們的福音；你們也領受了這福音，並且在這福音上站立得住。 2 如果你們不是毫無理由地相信，而是持守我所傳給你們的話語，你們也就會藉著它得救。 3 因為我所傳給你們的，其中最重要的，也是我所領受的，就是

基督照著經上所記的，為我們的罪孽死了，
4 而且被埋葬了，
又照著經上所記的，在第三天復活了，
5 並且向磯法顯現，然後向十二使徒[a]顯現，
6 後來一次性地向五百多個弟兄顯現，
其中大多數人至今還在，雖然也有些已經睡了；
7 後來他向雅各顯現，再向所有的使徒顯現，
8 最後也顯現給我——這個像是早產嬰兒一樣的人。

9 原來我是使徒中最小的，不配被稱為使徒，因為我曾經逼迫神的教會。 10 但藉著神的恩典，我成了現在的我，並且神賜給我的恩典沒有落空。不但如此，我比任何使徒更加勞苦做工；其實不是我，而是與我同在的神的恩典。 11 因此無論是我，或是他們，我們都如此傳，你們也就如此信了。

復活是信仰的核心

12 既然宣講基督已經從死人中復活了，你們中間怎麼還有些人說沒有死人復活的事呢？ 13 如果沒有死人復活的事，基督也就沒有復活了。 14 如果基督沒有復活，我們傳道就是虛空，你們相信也是虛空。 15 這樣，我們就被看做是神的假見證人，因為我們見證了有關神的事，說神使基督復活了，如果死人真不會復活，神就沒有使基督復活； 16 就是說，如果死人不會復活，基督也就沒有復活了。 17 如果基督沒有復活，你們的信仰就是虛妄的，你們也仍然在自己的罪孽中； 18 因此在基督裡那些睡了的人也就滅亡了。 19 如果我們在基督裡的盼望只在於今生[b]，我們就比所有的人更可憐。

復活帶給我們保障

20 但如今，基督已經從死人中復活，成為睡了之人初熟的果子， 21 因為死亡既然是由一個人而來，死人的復活也是由一個人而來。 22 原來，就像在亞當裡所有的人都死了，照樣，在基督裡所有的人也都將得以復活， 23 不過每個人要按著自己的次序：初熟的果子是基督；然後他來臨的時候，是那些屬於基督的人； 24 再後才是結局。那時候，基督要把國度交給父神；同時，基督要廢除一切統治的、掌權的、有勢力的， 25 因為基督必須做王，直到神[c]把所有的敵人都放在他的腳下。 26 最後被廢除的仇敵就是死亡， 27 因為「神[d]使萬有都服從在基督[e]的腳下。」[f]當經上[g]說「萬有」都已經服從了他的時候，明顯地，使萬有服從基督[h]的那一位是不包括在內的。 28 當萬有都服從他的時候，子自己也要服從那位使萬有都服從他的，這樣神就是萬有中的萬有。

復活的力量

29 如果不是這樣，那些替死人受洗的，將怎麼辦呢？如果死人根本不會復活，人們為什麼還替死人[i]受洗呢？ 30 我們又為什麼要時時刻刻面臨危險呢？ 31 弟兄們，藉著我在我們的主基督耶穌裡所擁有的，就是我對你們的誇耀，我肯定地說：我天天都在死！ 32 我在以弗所與野獸搏鬥，如果按人的意思來說，對我有什麼好處呢？如果死人不會復活，就「讓我們吃吃喝喝吧，因為明天我們就要死了。」[j] 33 你們不要被迷惑了！「結交惡友，敗壞善德。」 34 你們應當醒悟過來，不繼續犯罪；實際上，有些人不認識神。我說這話，是為了使你們羞愧。

復活的身體

35 但是有人會說：「死人怎樣復活呢？他們以什麼樣的身體出現呢？」 36 你這愚妄的人哪！你所種的如果不死，就得不到生命； 37 你所種的也不是那將要長成的形體；你所種的不過是一粒赤裸的種子，也許是麥子，或是其他什麼。 38 但神照著自己的意願，給那種子一個形體，並且使每一粒種子各有自己的形體。 39 並不是所有的身體都是同樣的：人是一個樣子，牲畜的身體是另一個樣子，鳥的身體又是一個樣子，魚又是另一個樣子。 40 還有天上的形體，也有地上的形體；但天上形體的光輝是一個樣子，地上形體的光輝是另一個樣子。 41 太陽的光輝是一個樣子，月亮的光輝是另一個樣子，星辰的光輝又是一個樣子；這星與那星的光輝當然有區別。 42 死人的復活也是這樣：

在衰朽[k]中被種下，在不朽中復活；
43 在卑賤中被種下，在榮耀中復活；
在軟弱中被種下，在強壯中復活；
44 被種下的是屬血氣的身體，復活的是屬靈的身體。

既然有屬血氣的身體，也就有屬靈的身體。 45 經上也這樣記著：「第一個人亞當成了有生命的人[l]，[m]最後的亞當[n]成了賜生命的靈。」 46 不過在先的不是屬靈的，而是屬血氣的；在後的才是屬靈的。

47 第一個人是出於地，是屬塵土的[o]；
第二個人[p]是出於天。
48 屬塵土的[q]那個人怎樣，那些屬塵土的也就怎樣；
屬天的那一位怎樣，那些屬天的也就怎樣。
49 就像我們帶有了屬塵土的[r]那個人的形像，
我們也將帶有屬天的那一位的形像。

復活的得勝

50 弟兄們，我要說這一點：血肉之體不能繼承神的國，衰朽[s]的也不能繼承不朽的。 51 看哪，我告訴你們一個奧祕：

我們並不是都要睡了，而是都要被改變，
52 就在一刹那，眨眼之間，在那最後的號角聲中。
的確，號角要吹響，死人要復活成為不朽壞的，我們也要被改變；
53 因為這會朽壞的，必須穿上不朽壞的；
這會死的，必須穿上不死的。
54 一旦這會朽壞的穿上那不朽壞的，
這會死的穿上那不死的，
經上所記的話就會應驗了：
「死亡被勝利吞滅了！」[t]
55 「死亡啊！你的勝利[u]在哪裡？
死亡啊！你的毒刺在哪裡？[v]」[w]
56 死亡的毒刺就是罪，而罪的權勢就是律法。
57 但感謝神，他藉著我們的主耶穌基督，
賜給我們勝利！

58 因此，我親愛的弟兄們，你們要堅定，不可動搖，常常在主的工作中豐足有餘，因為你們知道，你們的勞苦在主裡不是虛空。

歌 林 多 前 書 15
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

关于基督的福音

15 兄弟们，现在我要提醒你们记住我曾向你们传播的福音。你们接受了它，并在它之中继续得到力量。 2 如果你们恪守我传给你们的道，这信息就会使你们得到拯救，否则，你们就是在空洞地信。

3 我把自己领受到的信息传给了你们。我告诉你们，最重要的是：基督为我们的罪恶而死，正如《经》上所说的那样： 4 他被安葬了，又按照《经》上所说的那样，在第三天复活了， 5 他还出现在彼得 [a]面前，接着，出现在十二名使徒面前。 6 然后又在五百个兄弟面前同时出现。这些兄弟大部分人至今还活着，尽管有些已死了。 7 接着他又出现在雅各面前，然后又出现在所有的使徒面前， 8 最后，他还出现在我的面前，就好像我不是在正常情况下出生的。 9 因为我在使徒中最渺小，甚至不配被称作使徒，因为我曾经迫害过上帝的教会。 10 但由于上帝的恩典，我成为今天的我。他对我的恩典没有白费。我比其他使徒工作更努力，（但是，真正工作的那位并不是我，而是与我同在的上帝的恩典。） 11 因此，不论是我还是其他使徒，我们所传播的都是同样的事情，也就是你们所信的。

我们会死而复生

12 既然我们宣讲基督死而复活，你们中间怎么却有人说没有死而复活的事呢？ 13 假如没有死而复活的事，那么基督也就没有死而复活。 14 假如基督没有死而复活，我们的传教就一钱不值，你们的信仰也一钱不值。 15 并且我们也是在为上帝做假证，因为我们在上帝面前发誓作证说，他使耶稣从死里复活了。假如死人真不能复活，上帝就不曾使耶稣复活了。 16 如果死人不能复活，那么，基督也就没有复活了。 17 如果基督没有从死里复活，你们的信仰就是徒劳的，你们就仍然处在罪恶之中， 18 而且在基督里死去的人也已经灭亡了。 19 如果我们信基督的人的希望仅仅在于尘世的今生，那么我们就是全人类中最可悲的了。

20 但是，基督确实从死里复活了，他是所有沉睡在死亡之中的信徒的第一位复活者。 21 既然死亡来自于一个人，那么，死者复活也是来自于一个人。 22 正如众人皆为亚当死，同样，他们也皆因基督而活。 23 不过，每个人都有自己的次序。基督是第一个复活的，其次是当他再来时那些属于他的人。 24 然后，终结将会到来，到那时，基督将毁灭所有的统治者、当权者和所有的势力，把王国交给天父上帝。 25 基督一定要统治到上帝把基督的敌人都置于他的脚下为止。 26 最后将要被摧毁的敌人是死亡。 27 因为他说∶“上帝把一切都置于他的脚下。”《经》上说的“一切”都已经置于基督之下，显然，不包括上帝自己。正是上帝置一切于基督之下的。 28 做完这些，圣子本人才会被置于一切于他（圣子）之下的上帝之下。以便让上帝彻底地成为君临一切的万物之主。

29 如果人绝对不会从死里复活，那么那些为死人受洗礼的人在做什么呢？如果死人绝对不会复活，为什么人们还为他们受洗呢？

30 我们为什么会时时刻刻面临危险呢？ 31 我每天都面临死亡。兄弟们，这是真的，我以在主基督耶稣内为你们感到自豪而起誓。 32 如果我在以弗所与野兽博斗，仅仅是出于人的动机，我得到什么了呢？。如果死人不能复活，那么，“让我们吃吧喝吧，因为明天我们就要死去。”

33 不要上当受骗，“坏朋友会毁掉好习惯。” 34 你们现在应该清醒，不要再犯罪了。因为你们有人对上帝一无所知。我说这些，是为了让你们感到羞愧。

我们会有什么样的身体呢？

35 但是，也许有些人会问∶“死者怎样复活呢？他们会有什么样的身体呢？” 36 你们是多么地愚蠢啊！你们播的种子，除非先死去，否则就不会发芽生长。 37 你们播种的与后来要长成的“身体”并不一样。你们播种的东西只是一粒种子，或许是小麦种子，或是其它的种子。 38 上帝按照自己的决定，赋予它一个形体，并给了每一类种子它们自己的形体。 39 生物的肉体也不尽相同。人有人体，兽有兽体，鸟类有鸟类的形体，鱼类有鱼类的形体。 40 还有天体和地形。然而，天体有天体的光辉，地形有地形的光辉。 41 太阳有太阳的光辉，月亮有月亮的光辉，星星又有星星的光辉，而星星之间的光辉又不尽一致。

42 死者的复活也是如此。埋在土里的身体是易腐的，复活的身体却永不会腐朽； 43 入土的身体没有荣耀，复活的身体是荣耀的；入土的身体是软弱的，复活的身体是强壮的； 44 入土的是血肉之躯，复活的是属灵的身体。既然有血肉之躯，也就有属灵的身体。

45 《经》上说∶“第一个人，亚当成为一个活生生的人。”但是最后一个（基督）亚当是赐生命之灵。 46 先出现的不是属灵的，而是血肉之人。属灵的是在其后出现的。 47 第一个来自尘世的人由泥土所造。第二个人来自天堂。 48 属尘世的人，都像那个来自尘世的；属天的人，则都像那个来自天堂的人。 49 正如我们具有属尘世人的形象一样，我们也会具有那属天堂之人的形象。

50 兄弟们，我告诉你们：我们的血肉之躯不能继承上帝的王国；必朽的不能继承那不朽的。 听着，我告诉你们一个秘密，在最后的号声吹响之际，我们不会都死，但都会在眨眼之间迅速地改变，因为号角会吹响，死人将复活而成不朽，我们活着的人也会改变。 53 必朽的身体必须披上不朽的，垂死的身体必须披上不朽的。 54 当会腐朽的身体披上了不朽之身，垂死的身体穿上不死的外衣时，《经》上所说的就会实现：

“死亡在胜利中被吞没。” (A)

55 “死亡，你的胜利在哪里？
死亡，你伤害的力量在哪里？” (B)

56 伤害的死亡力量是罪，罪的力量是律法。 57 但是，感谢上帝！他通过我们的主耶稣基督赐给我们胜利。

58 因此，我亲爱的兄弟们，要站稳脚根，不要动摇，要一贯把自己完全彻底地奉献给主的事业，因为你们知道在主内工作绝不会是徒劳的。

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,

“Let us eat and drink,
    for tomorrow we die.”[d](BE)

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)

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”[i](CP)

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)

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, 2 (D)by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless (E)you believed in vain.

3 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, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day (I)according to the Scriptures, 5 (J)and that He was seen by [a]Cephas, then (K)by the twelve. 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 [b]fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then (L)by all the apostles. 8 (M)Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 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.

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.
