\subsection{I Corinthians 15}
|
|
\VS{1} So I make known to you, brothers, the good-news that I good-newsed to you,
|
|
which you also received, in which you do stand,
|
|
\VS{2} through which you are
|
|
also saved, if you hold fast to what word I good-newsed to you, unless you
|
|
have believed rashly\footnote{without plan or purpose, without due
|
|
consideration}.
|
|
\VS{3} For I delivered up to you, firstly, what I also
|
|
received, that Christ died in behalf of our sins according to the
|
|
scriptures,
|
|
\VS{4} and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third
|
|
day according to the scriptures,
|
|
\VS{5} and that he was seen by
|
|
Cephas\footnote{another name for Peter}, then to the twelve,
|
|
\VS{6} then he
|
|
was seen by more than five-hundred brothers at once, from whom most remain
|
|
until now, but some have fallen asleep.
|
|
\VS{7} Then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
|
|
\VS{8} But last of all, by the untimely born as it
|
|
were, he was seen by me also.
|
|
\VS{9} For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called apostle,
|
|
because I persecuted the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of God.
|
|
\VS{10} But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has
|
|
not become empty, but I toiled more than all of them, yet not I, but the
|
|
grace of God [that was] with me.
|
|
\VS{11} Therefore, whether [it was] I or they, thus we
|
|
proclaimed and thus you believed.
|
|
|
|
\VS{12} Now if Christ be proclaimed that he rose from the dead, how do some
|
|
[of you] say that there is no resurrection from [the] dead?
|
|
\VS{13} But if there is no
|
|
resurrection from [the] dead, neither is Christ raised.
|
|
\VS{14} But if Christ is
|
|
not raised, then our proclamation is empty, and our faith is empty,
|
|
\VS{15}
|
|
and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that he
|
|
raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead are not raised.
|
|
\VS{16} For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised,
|
|
\VS{17}
|
|
and if Christ is not raised, our faith is futile, you are still in your
|
|
sins.
|
|
\VS{18} Therefore also those having fallen asleep in Christ have
|
|
perished.
|
|
\VS{19} If in this zoe-life\fnZoe{} we have hoped in Christ only, we are of
|
|
all men more pitiable.
|
|
\VS{20} But now is Christ raised from the dead, [the]
|
|
first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
|
|
\VS{21} For since through man [is] death,
|
|
through man also [is] resurrection from [the] dead.
|
|
\VS{22} For as in Adam all die, thus also in Christ will all be made zoe-alive.
|
|
\VS{23} But each in his own order\footnote{or ``rank'', ``company''},
|
|
Christ [the] first-fruits, then those of Christ in his coming,
|
|
\VS{24} then the completion, when he delivers up
|
|
the kingdom to the god and father, when he will nullify all rule and every
|
|
authority and power.
|
|
\VS{25} For he must be reigning until he put all
|
|
enemies under his feet.
|
|
\VS{26} The last enemy [that] is nullified is death.
|
|
\VS{27} For he has subjected everything under his feet. So when he says that
|
|
everything is subjected, [it is] clear that [he is] excepted who will subjected to him
|
|
everything.
|
|
\VS{28} So when everything be subjected to him, then also the
|
|
son himself will be subjected to the [one] having subjected everything to him, in
|
|
order that God be everything in everything.
|
|
\VS{29} Since what do they do
|
|
who are being baptized in behalf of the dead? If the dead be not at all
|
|
raised, why are they also baptized in their behalf?
|
|
\VS{30} And why are we
|
|
in danger every hour?
|
|
\VS{31} Every day I die, by your boasting, brothers,
|
|
which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
|
\VS{32} If according to me, I fought
|
|
wild beasts in Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised,
|
|
let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
|
|
\VS{33} Be not being deceived:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Evil company corrupts kind manners\footnote{or ``dispositions'',
|
|
``customs'', ``habits''}.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{34} Be justly sober and be not sinning. For some have ignorance of God,
|
|
I speak this to your shame.
|
|
|
|
\VS{35} But someone will say: How are the dead raised? And with what sort of
|
|
body do they come?
|
|
\VS{36} Fool, what you sow, is it not made-zoe-alive except it die?
|
|
\VS{37} And what you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be,
|
|
but [the] naked grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
|
|
\VS{38} But God
|
|
gives to it body just as he wanted, and to each of the seeds its own body.
|
|
\VS{39} Not all flesh [is] the same flesh, but [there is] the flesh of men, and another
|
|
flesh of domesticated animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of
|
|
fish.
|
|
\VS{40} And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies. But the glory of the
|
|
celestial [is one] and that of the earthly [is] another.
|
|
\VS{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.
|
|
\VS{42} Thus also the resurrection of the dead. It is
|
|
sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
|
|
\VS{43} It is sown in
|
|
dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in
|
|
power.
|
|
\VS{44} It is sown [a] psyche-life-ish\fnPsyche{} body, it is raised [a] spiritual body. If
|
|
there is [a] psyche-life-ish\fnPsyche{} body, there is also [a] spiritual body.
|
|
\VS{45} Thus also is it written:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The first man Adam came to be [a] zoe-living\fnZoe{} psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, \\
|
|
The last Adam [a] zoe-life-making\fnZoe{} spirit.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{46} But not first [is] the spiritual, but the psyche-life-ish\fnPsyche{}, then the spiritual.
|
|
\VS{47} The first man [was] from the dust of the earth, the second man [was] from
|
|
heaven.
|
|
\VS{48} Of what sort [is] the [one] made of dust, such are they made of dust,
|
|
and of what sort [is] the heavenly [one], such also are the heavenly [ones].
|
|
\VS{49} And
|
|
just as we bear the image of the [one] made of dust, let us also bear the image
|
|
of the heavenly.
|
|
\VS{50} For this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood is
|
|
not able to inherit the kingdom of God, neither does corruption inherit
|
|
incorruption.
|
|
\VS{51} Behold I tell you [a] mystery: we will not all sleep, but
|
|
we will all be changed,
|
|
\VS{52} in [a] moment, in the blink of [an] eye, in the
|
|
last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised
|
|
incorruptible, and we will be changed.
|
|
\VS{53} For this corruption must put
|
|
on incorruption and this death-like must put on deathlessness.
|
|
\VS{54} So when
|
|
this corruption has put on incorruption and this death-like has put on
|
|
deathlessness, then will come to pass the word that is written:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Death is swallowed in victory. \\
|
|
\VS{55} O death, where is your sting, \\
|
|
O death, where is your victory?
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{56} But the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin [is] the law.
|
|
\VS{57} But grace be to God, the [one] giving victory to us through our Lord Jesus
|
|
Christ.
|
|
\VS{58} So, my agape-beloved brothers, become steadfast, immovable,
|
|
abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our toil is not empty
|
|
in the Lord.
