1 Corinthians 15

1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6After 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. 7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of Elohim. 10But by the grace of Elohim I am what I am: and his grace which upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of Elohim which was with me. 11Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12Now if Messiah be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Messiah not risen: 14And if Messiah be not risen, then our preaching vain, and your faith also vain. 15yes, and we are found false witnesses of Elohim; because we have testified of Elohim that he raised up Messiah: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16For if the dead rise not, then is not Messiah raised: 17And if Messiah be not raised, your faith vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Messiah are perished. 19If in this life only we have hope in Messiah, we are of all men most miserable. 20But now is Messiah risen from the dead, become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man death, by man also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Messiah shall all be made alive. 23But every man in his own order: Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah's at his coming. 24Then the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to Elohim, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy shall be destroyed death. 27For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28And 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 Elohim may be all in all. 29Else 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? 30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Messiah Yahusha our Lord, I die daily. 32If 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. 33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of Elohim: I speak to your shame. 35But some will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36fool, that which you sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37And that which you sowest, you sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other : 38But Elohim giveth it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39All flesh not the same flesh: but one flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, another of birds. 40also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial one, and the of the terrestrial another. 41one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differeth from star in glory. 42So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47The first man of the earth, earthy: the second man the Lord from heaven. 48As the earthy, such they also that are earthy: and as the heavenly, such they also that are heavenly. 49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In 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. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality. 54So 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. 55O death, where your sting? O grave, where your victory? 56The sting of death sin; and the strength of sin the law. 57But thanks to Elohim, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Yahusha Messiah. 58Therefore, 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.
