1 Corinto 15
Ang Salita ng Diyos

Ang Muling Pagkabuhay ni Cristo

15 Mga kapatid, ipinaalam ko sa inyo ang ebanghelyo na ipinangaral ko sa inyo na inyo ring tinanggap at inyong pinaninindigan.

2 Sa pamamagitan din nito kayo ay ligtas, kapag nanghahawakan kayong matatag sa salitang ipinangaral ko sa inyo, maliban na lamang kung sumam­palataya kayo nang walang kabuluhan.

3 Ito ay sapagkat ibinigay ko na nga sa inyo nang una pa lamang ang akin ding tinanggap, na si Cristo ay namatay para sa ating mga kasalanan ayon sa mga kasulatan. 4 Siya rin ay inilibing at siya ay ibinangon sa ikatlong araw ayon sa mga kasulatan. 5 Siya ay nagpakita kay Cefas at gayundin sa labindalawang alagad. 6 Pagkatapos nito sa isang pagkakataon, nagpakita siya sa mahigit na limandaang kapatiran. Ang nakakaraming bahagi nito ay nananatili hanggang ngayon at ang ilan ay natulog na. 7 Pagkatapos siya ay nagpakita kay Santiago at saka sa lahat ng mga apostol. 8 Sa kahuli-hulilan, nagpakita siya sa akin, ako na tulad ng isang sanggol na ipinanganak ng wala sa panahon.

9 Ito ay sapagkat ako ang pinakamababa sa lahat ng mga apostol, na hindi nararapat tawaging apostol dahil inusig ko ang iglesiya ng Diyos. 10 Dahil sa biyaya ng Diyos ako ay naging ako at ang biyaya niya na para sa akin ay hindinaging walang kabuluhan. Ako ay nagpagal nang higit pa sa kanilang lahat, ngunit hindi ako kundi ang biyaya ng Diyos na sumasaakin. 11 Kaya nga, maging ako man o sila, ito ang ipinangaral namin at kayo ay sumampalataya.

Ang Muling Pagkabuhay ng mga Patay

12 Si Cristo ay ipinangangaral na ibinangon mula sa mga patay. Yamang gayon nga, bakit sinasabi ng ilan sa inyo na walang muling pagkabuhay mula sa mga patay?

13 Kung wala ngang muling pagkabuhay mula sa mga patay, kahit na si Cristo ay hindi ibinangon. 14 Kung si Cristo ay hindi naibangon, ang aming pagpapahahayag ay walang kabuluhan at ang inyong pananampalataya ay wala ring kabuluhan. 15 Kami rin naman ay masusumpungang mga bulaang saksi ng Diyos sapagkat nagpatotoo kami patungkol sa Diyos na ibinangon niya si Cristo. Hindi na sana niya ibinangon si Cristo kung hindi rin lang ibabangon ang mga patay. 16 Ito ay sapagkat kunghindi ibabangon ang patay, maging si Cristo ay hindi nagbangon. 17 Kung si Cristo ay hindi nagbangon, ang inyong pananampala­taya ay walang kabuluhan, kayo ay nasa inyong mga kasalanan pa. 18 Kung magkaganito, sila na mga namatay kay Cristo ay napahamak. 19 Kung sa buhay lamang na ito tayo ay umaasa kay Cristo, tayo na ang higit na kahabag-habag sa lahat ng mga tao.

20 Ngayon, si Cristo ay ibinangon mula sa mga patay. Siya ang naging unang bunga nila na mga namatay. 21 Yaman ngang sa pamamagitan ng tao ang kamatayan ay dumating, sa pamamagitan din naman ng isang tao ay dumating ang muling pagkabuhay sa mga patay. 22 Kung papaanong kay Adan ang lahat ay namatay, gayundin naman kay Cristo ang lahat ay bubuhayin. 23 Ngunit ang bawat tao ay may kaniya-kaniyang pagkakasunod-sunod. Si Cristo ang pinaka-unang bunga, pagkatapos sila na mga kay Cristo, sa kaniyang pagdating. 24 Pagkatapos ng mga ito ay ang katapusan, kapag naibigay na niya ang paghahari sa kaniya na Diyos at Ama. Ito ay kapag kaniyang napawalan ng kapangyarihan ang lahat ng pamumuno at lahat ng kapamahalaan at lahat ng kapangyarihan. 25 Ito ay sapagkat kinakailangan niyang maghari hanggang sa mailagay niya sa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa ang lahat ng kaaway. 26 Ito ay sapagkat ang huling kaaway na pawawalan ng kapang­yarihan ay ang kamatayan. 27 Ito ay sapagkat kaniya na ngang ipinasailalim sa kaniyang mga paa ang lahat ng mga bagay. Ngunit nang sabihin niya na ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ipinasailalim niya, maliwanag na siya na magpasailalim ng lahat ng mga bagay ay hindi kasama. 28 Kapag ang lahat ng mga bagay ay mapasailalim na niya, ang Anak din naman ay mapapasailalim sa Ama na nagpasailalim ng lahat ng mga bagay sa kaniya. Ito ay upang ang Diyos ay maging lahat sa lahat.

29 Kung hindi gayon, ano pa ang gagawin nila na mga nabawtismuhan alang-alang sa mga patay kung hindi rin lang ibabangon ang mga patay? Bakit pa sila binawtismuhan alang-alang sa mga patay? 30 At bakit nasa panganib tayo bawat oras? 31 Masasabi ko, ayon sa aking pagmalalaki patungkol sa inyo na na kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon, na namamatay ako araw-araw. 32 Kung ayon sa paraan ng tao ako ay nakikipaglaban sa mga mababangis na hayop sa Efeso, ano ang kapakinabangan sa akin kung ang patay ay hindi ibabangon? Kumain tayo, uminom tayo, sapagkat sa kinabukasan tayo ay mamamatay. 33 Huwag kayong magpadaya. Ang masamang kasama ay sumisira sa magandang pag-uugali. 34 Gumising kayo na may katuwiran at huwag magkasala sapagkat ang iba ay hindi nakakakilala sa Diyos. Nagsasalita ako para sa inyong kahihiyan.

Ang Katawang Binuhay Muli ng Diyos

35 Subalit maaaring may magsabi: Papaano ibinabangon ang mga patay? At ano ang magiging katawan nila?

36 Ikaw na hangal, anuman ang iyong itanim, hindi ito mabubuhay maliban ito ay mamatay. 37 Anuman ang iyong itanim, hindi mo itinatanim ang magiging katawan noon. Ang itinatanim ay ang butil, ito ay maaaring butil ng trigo o anumang ibang butil. 38 Ang Diyos ang siyang nagbibigay ng katawan ayon sa kaniyang kalooban, at sa bawat isang binhi ay binibigyan niya ng sariling katawan. 39 Hindi lahat ng laman ay magkatulad na laman. Iba ang laman ng tao, iba ang sa hayop, iba ang sa isda at iba naman ang sa ibon. 40 May katawan na panlangit at mayroon ding panlupa, ngunit iba ang kaluwalhatian ng panlangit at iba ang sa panlupa. 41 Iba ang karilagan ng araw at iba ang karilagan ng buwan. Iba ang karilagan ng mga bituin dahil ang karilagan ng isang bituin ay iba kaysa sa isang bituin.

42 Ganito rin nga ang pagkabuhay muli ng mga patay. Ito ay inililibing sa kabulukan, ito ay ibinabangon sa walang kabulukan. 43 Ito ay inililibing sa walang karangalan, ito ay ibinabangon sa kaluwalhatian. Ito ay inililibing sa kahinaan, ito ay ibinabangon sa kapangyarihan. 44 Ito ay inihasik na likas na katawan, ito ay babangon na espirituwal na katawan.

Mayroong likas na katawan at mayroong espirituwal na katawan.

45 Gayundin ang nasusulat: Ang unang tao na si Adan ay naging buhay na kaluluwa. Ang huling Adan ay espiritu na nagbibigay buhay. 46 Hindi una ang espirituwal kundi ang likas, pagkatapos ay ang espirituwal. 47 Ang unang tao ay mula sa lupa, gawa sa alabok. Ang ikalawang tao ay ang Panginoon na mula sa langit. 48 Kung ano siya na gawa sa alabok, gayundin sila na mga gawa sa alabok. Kung ano siya na panlangit, gayundin sila na panlangit. 49 Kung paano natin tinataglay ang anyo ng gawa sa alabok, gayundin natin tataglayin ang anyo ng nagmula sa langit.

50 Ngayon, ito ang sinasabi ko mga kapatid: Ang dugo at laman ay hindi makakapagmana ng paghahari ng Diyos. Maging ang kabulukan ay hindi makakapagmana ng walang kabulukan. 51 Narito, sinasabi ko sa inyo ang isanghiwaga: Hindi lahat sa atin ay matutulog ngunit lahat ay babaguhin. 52 Lahat ay babaguhin sa isang iglap, sa isangkisap mata, sa huling pagtunog ng trumpeta dahil ang trumpeta ay tutunog at ang mga patay ay ibabangong walang kabulukan at tayo ay mababago. 53 Ito ay sapagkat kinakailangang ang may kabulukang ito ay maging walang kabulukan at ang may kama­tayang ito ay maging walang kamatayan. 54 Kapag ang may kabulukan ay maging walang kabulukan at ang may kamatayan ay maging walang kamatayan, matutupad ang salitang isinulat:

Ang kamatayan ay nilamon na sa tagumpay.

55 Kamatayan, nasaan ang iyong tibo? Hades, nasaan ang iyong tagumpay?

56 Ngayon, ang tibo ng kamatayan ay kasalanan at ang lakas ng kasalanan ay ang kautusan. 57 Ngunit salamat sa Panginoon na nagbigay sa atin ng pagtatagumpay sa pamamagitan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo.

58 Kaya nga, mga minamahal kong kapatid, magpakatatag kayo, hindimakilos, laging nananagana sa gawain ng Panginoon. Alam ninyo na ang inyong mga pagpapagal ay hindi walang kabuluhan sa Panginoon.

1 Corinthians 15
English Standard Version

The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel (A)I preached to you, which you received, (B)in which you stand, 2 and by which (C)you are being saved, if you (D)hold fast to the word I preached to you—(E)unless you believed in vain.

3 For (F)I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died (G)for our sins (H)in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised (I)on the third day (J)in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that (K)he appeared to Cephas, then (L)to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to (M)James, then (N)to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, (O)he appeared also to me. 9 For (P)I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because (Q)I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, (R)I worked harder than any of them, (S)though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, (T)how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, (U)then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that (V)he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and (W)you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who (X)have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope[b] in this life only, (Y)we are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But in fact (Z)Christ has been raised from the dead, (AA)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as (AB)by a man came death, (AC)by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For (AD)as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then (AE)at his coming (AF)those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers (AG)the kingdom to God the Father after destroying (AH)every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign (AI)until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be (AJ)destroyed is death. 27 For (AK)“God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When (AL)all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that (AM)God may be all in all.

29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? 30 Why are we (AN)in danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by (AO)my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, (AP)I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, (AQ)I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, (AR)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 (AS)Do not be deceived: (AT)“Bad company ruins good morals.”[d] 34 (AU)Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For (AV)some have no knowledge of God. (AW)I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body

35 But someone will ask, (AX)“How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36 You foolish person! (AY)What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

42 (AZ)So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; (BA)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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, (BB)“The first man Adam became a living being”;[e] (BC)the last Adam became a (BD)life-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 (BE)The first man was from the earth, (BF)a man of dust; (BG)the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, (BH)so also are those who are of heaven. 49 Just (BI)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, (BJ)we shall[f] also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Mystery and Victory

50 I tell you this, brothers: (BK)flesh and blood (BL)cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. (BM)We shall not all sleep, (BN)but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For (BO)the trumpet will sound, and (BP)the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and (BQ)this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

(BR)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 (BS)“O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?”

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

58 (BV)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in (BW)the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord (BX)your labor is not in vain.

Síntesis del evangelio

15 Ahora os hago saber, hermanos, el evangelio que os prediqué[a](A), el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también estáis firmes(B), 2 por el cual también sois salvos, si retenéis(C) la palabra[b] que os prediqué[c], a no ser que hayáis creído en vano(D). 3 Porque yo os entregué en primer lugar lo mismo que recibí(E): que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados(F), conforme a las Escrituras(G); 4 que fue sepultado y que resucitó al tercer día(H), conforme a las Escrituras(I); 5 que se apareció a Cefas(J) y después a los doce(K); 6 luego se apareció a más de quinientos hermanos a la vez, la mayoría de los cuales viven aún, pero algunos ya duermen(L); 7 después se apareció a Jacobo[d](M), luego a todos los apóstoles(N), 8 y al último de todos, como a uno nacido fuera de tiempo[e], se me apareció también a mí(O). 9 Porque yo soy el más insignificante de los apóstoles(P), que no soy digno de ser llamado apóstol, pues perseguí a la iglesia de Dios(Q). 10 Pero por la gracia de Dios(R) soy lo que soy, y su gracia para conmigo no resultó vana; antes bien he trabajado mucho más que todos ellos(S), aunque no yo, sino la gracia de Dios en mí(T). 11 Sin embargo, haya sido yo o ellos, así predicamos y así creísteis.

Si Cristo no ha resucitado

12 Ahora bien, si se predica que Cristo ha resucitado de entre los muertos, ¿cómo dicen algunos entre vosotros que no hay resurrección de muertos(U)? 13 Y si no hay resurrección de muertos, entonces ni siquiera Cristo ha resucitado; 14 y si Cristo no ha resucitado, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, y vana también vuestra fe(V). 15 Aún más, somos hallados testigos falsos de Dios, porque hemos testificado contra[f] Dios que Él resucitó a Cristo[g](W), a quien no resucitó, si en verdad los muertos no resucitan. 16 Pues si los muertos no resucitan, entonces ni siquiera Cristo ha resucitado; 17 y si Cristo no ha resucitado, vuestra fe es falsa[h]; todavía estáis en vuestros pecados(X). 18 Entonces también los que han dormido en Cristo han perecido(Y). 19 Si hemos esperado en Cristo para[i] esta vida solamente, somos, de todos los hombres, los más dignos de lástima(Z).

Cristo, garantía de la resurrección

20 Mas ahora Cristo ha resucitado de entre los muertos(AA), primicias(AB) de los que durmieron(AC). 21 Porque ya que la muerte entró por un hombre(AD), también por un hombre vino la resurrección de los muertos. 22 Porque así como en Adán todos mueren, también en Cristo[j] todos serán vivificados(AE). 23 Pero cada uno en su debido orden[k]: Cristo, las primicias(AF); luego los que son de Cristo(AG) en su venida(AH); 24 entonces vendrá el fin, cuando Él entregue el reino(AI) al Dios y Padre(AJ), después que haya abolido[l] todo dominio y toda autoridad y poder(AK). 25 Pues Cristo[m] debe reinar hasta que haya puesto a todos sus enemigos debajo de sus pies(AL). 26 Y el último enemigo que será abolido[n] es la muerte(AM). 27 Porque Dios[o] ha puesto todo en sujeción bajo sus pies(AN). Pero cuando dice que todas las cosas le están sujetas(AO), es evidente que se exceptúa a aquel que ha sometido a Él todas las cosas. 28 Y cuando todo haya sido sometido a Él(AP), entonces también el Hijo mismo se sujetará a aquel que sujetó a Él todas las cosas, para que Dios sea todo en todos(AQ).

29 De no ser así, ¿qué harán los que se bautizan por los muertos? Si de ninguna manera los muertos resucitan, ¿por qué, entonces, se bautizan por ellos? 30 Y también, ¿por qué estamos en peligro a toda hora(AR)? 31 Os aseguro, hermanos, por la satisfacción[p] que siento por vosotros en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor, que cada día estoy en peligro de muerte[q](AS). 32 Si por motivos humanos[r] luché contra fieras(AT) en Efeso(AU), ¿de qué me aprovecha? Si los muertos no resucitan, comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos(AV). 33 No os dejéis engañar(AW): «Las malas compañías corrompen las buenas costumbres». 34 Sed sobrios(AX), como conviene[s], y dejad de pecar; porque algunos no tienen conocimiento de Dios(AY). Para vergüenza vuestra lo digo(AZ).

La gloria del cuerpo resucitado

35 Pero alguno dirá(BA): ¿Cómo resucitan los muertos(BB)? ¿Y con qué clase de cuerpo vienen? 36 ¡Necio(BC)! Lo que tú siembras no llega a tener vida si antes no muere(BD); 37 y lo que siembras, no siembras el cuerpo que nacerá[t], sino el grano desnudo, quizás de trigo o de alguna otra especie[u]. 38 Pero Dios le da un cuerpo como Él quiso, y a cada semilla su propio cuerpo(BE). 39 No toda carne es la misma carne, sino que una es la de los hombres, otra la[v] de las bestias, otra la[w] de las aves y otra la de los peces. 40 Hay, asimismo, cuerpos celestiales y cuerpos terrestres, pero la gloria del celestial es una, y la del terrestre es otra. 41 Hay una gloria del sol, y otra gloria de la luna, y otra gloria de las estrellas; pues una estrella es distinta de otra estrella en gloria. 42 Así es también la resurrección de los muertos. Se siembra un cuerpo corruptible[x](BF), se resucita un cuerpo incorruptible[y](BG); 43 se siembra en deshonra, se resucita en gloria(BH); se siembra en debilidad, se resucita en poder; 44 se siembra un cuerpo natural(BI), se resucita un cuerpo espiritual(BJ). Si hay un cuerpo natural, hay también un cuerpo espiritual. 45 Así también está escrito: El primer hombre, Adán, fue hecho alma viviente(BK). El último Adán(BL), espíritu que da vida(BM). 46 Sin embargo, el espiritual no es primero, sino el natural; luego el espiritual. 47 El primer hombre es de la tierra(BN), terrenal[z](BO); el segundo hombre es del cielo. 48 Como es el terrenal, así son también los que son terrenales; y como es el celestial, así son también los que son celestiales(BP). 49 Y tal como hemos traído la imagen del terrenal(BQ), traeremos[aa] también la imagen del celestial(BR).

La victoria final sobre la muerte

50 Y esto digo, hermanos: que la carne y la sangre(BS) no pueden heredar el reino de Dios(BT); ni lo que se corrompe[ab] hereda lo incorruptible[ac](BU). 51 He aquí, os digo un misterio(BV): no todos dormiremos[ad], pero todos seremos transformados(BW) 52 en un momento, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, a la trompeta final; pues la trompeta sonará(BX) y los muertos resucitarán(BY) incorruptibles, y nosotros seremos transformados(BZ). 53 Porque es necesario que esto corruptible se vista de incorrupción, y esto mortal se vista de inmortalidad(CA). 54 Pero cuando esto corruptible se haya vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal se haya vestido de inmortalidad, entonces se cumplirá la palabra que está escrita: Devorada ha sido la muerte en victoria(CB). 55 ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu victoria? ¿Dónde, oh sepulcro[ae], tu aguijón(CC)? 56 El aguijón de la muerte es el pecado(CD), y el poder del pecado es la ley(CE); 57 pero a Dios gracias(CF), que nos da la victoria por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(CG). 58 Por tanto, mis amados hermanos(CH), estad firmes, constantes[af], abundando siempre en la obra del Señor(CI), sabiendo que vuestro trabajo en el Señor no es en vano.

Christian Standard Bible

Resurrection Essential to the Gospel

15 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand(A) 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.(B) 3 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) 4 that he was buried,(F) that he was raised on the third day(G) according to the Scriptures,(H) 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,(I) then to the Twelve.(J) 6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time;(K) most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James,(L) then to all the apostles.(M) 8 Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time,[a](N) he also appeared to me.(O)

9 For I am the least of the apostles,(P) not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(Q) the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.(R) 11 Whether, then, 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 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain, and so is your faith.[b] 15 Moreover, we are found to be false witnesses(U) about God, because we have testified(V) wrongly 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, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Those, then, 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 as it is, 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 just 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.[c](AJ) Now when it says “everything” is put under him, it is obvious that he who puts everything under him is the exception. 28 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?[d] If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?[e] 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I face death every day,(AM) as surely as I may boast about you, brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus(AN) as a mere man, what good did that do me?(AO) If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[f](AP) 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 34 Come to your senses[g](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 ask, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?” 36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life(AS) unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the body that will be, but only a seed, 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; in fact, 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;[h](BA) 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, a man of dust;(BC) the second man is[i] from heaven. 48 Like the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; like the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.(BD) 49 And just as we have borne the image(BE) of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.(BF)

Victorious Resurrection

50 What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh(BG) and blood(BH) cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption 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 twinkling 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 body must be clothed(BJ) with incorruptibility,(BK) and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality. 54 When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place:

Death has been swallowed up(BL) in victory.[j](BM)
55 Where, death, is your victory?
Where, death, is your sting?[k](BN)

56 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 and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work,(BR) because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
