The Fact of Christ’s Resurrection

1 Now° aI make° known° to you, brethren°, the bgospel° which° I preached° to you, which° also° you received°, cin which° also° you stand°, 2 by which° also° you are saved°, aif° you hold° fast° Ithe word° which° I preached° to you, bunless°° you believed° in vain°.

3 ¶ For aI delivered° to you Ias of first° importance° what° I also° received°, that Christ° died° bfor our sins° caccording° to the Scriptures°, 4 and that He was buried°, and that He was araised° on the third° day° baccording° to the Scriptures°, 5 and that aHe appeared° to bCephas°, then° cto the twelve°. 6 After° that He appeared° to more° than° five° hundred° brethren° at one° time°, most° of whom° remain° until° now°, but some° ahave fallen° asleep°; 7 then° He appeared° to IaJames°, then° to ball° the apostles°; 8 and last° of all°, as Ito one° untimely° born°, aHe appeared° to me also°. 9 For I am° athe least° of the apostles°, Iand not fit° to be called° an apostle°, because° I bpersecuted° the church° of God°. 10 But by athe grace° of God° I am° what° I am°, and His grace° toward° me did not prove° vain°; but I blabored° even° more° than all° of them, yet° cnot I, but the grace° of God° with me. 11 Whether° then° [it was] I or° they, so° we preach° and so° you believed°.

12 ¶ Now° if° Christ° is preached°, that He has been raised° from the dead°, how° do some° among° you say° that there ais no° resurrection° of the dead°? 13 But if° there is no° resurrection° of the dead°, not even° Christ° has been raised°; 14 and aif° Christ° has not been raised°, then° our preaching° is vain°, your faith° also° is vain°. 15 Moreover° we are even° found° [to be] false° witnesses° of God°, because° we testified° Iagainst° God° that He araised° IIChrist°, whom° He did not raise°, 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°; ayou are still° in your sins°. 18 Then° those° also° who ahave fallen° asleep° in Christ° have perished°. 19 If° we have hoped° in Christ° in this° life° only°, we are aof all° men° most° to be pitied°.

The Order of Resurrection

20 ¶ But now° Christ° ahas been raised° from the dead°, the bfirst° fruits° of those° who care asleep°. 21 For since° aby a man° [came] death°, by a man° also° [came] the resurrection° of the dead°. 22 For aas in Adam° all° die°, so° also° in IChrist° all° will be made° alive°. 23 But each° in his own° order°: Christ° athe first° fruits°, after° that bthose° who° are Christ’s° at cHis coming°, 24 then° [comes] the end°, when° He hands° over athe kingdom° to the bGod° and Father°, when° He has abolished° call° rule° and all° authority° and power°. 25 For He must° reign° auntil° He has put° all° His enemies° under° His feet°. 26 The last° enemy° that will be aabolished° is death°. 27 For aHE HAS PUT° ALL° THINGS° IN SUBJECTION° UNDER° HIS FEET°. But when° He says°, “bAll° things° are put° in subjection°,” it is evident° that He is excepted° who put° all° things° in subjection° to Him. 28 When° aall° things° are subjected° to Him, then° the Son° Himself° also° will be subjected° to the One who subjected° all° things° to Him, so° that bGod° may be all° in all°.

35 Butº someº [man] will say,ºª Howº are¹ª the² deadº raised up?ºª andº with whatº bodyº do they come?ºª 36 [Thou] fool,º that whichº thouº sowestºª is¹ª notº quickened,ºª exceptº it die:ºª 37 Andº that whichº thou sowest,ºª thou sowestºª notº that bodyº that shall be,ºª butº bareº grain,º² it may chanceº¹ª of wheat,º orº of someº otherº [grain]: 38 Butº Godº givethºª itº a bodyº asº it hath pleased² him,¹ª andº to everyº seedº his ownº body.º 39 Allº fleshº [is] notº the² sameº flesh:º butº¹ [there is] oneº [kind² of] fleshº of men,ºº anotherº fleshº of beasts,ºº anotherº of fishes,º [and]º anotherº of birds.º 40 [There are] alsoº celestialº bodies,º andº bodiesº terrestrial:º butº¹ the² gloryº of the² celestialº [is]² one,º andº the² [glory] of the² terrestrialº [is] another.º 41 [There is] oneº gloryº of the sun,º andº anotherº gloryº of the moon,º andº anotherº gloryº of the stars:º forº [one] starº differeth fromºª [another] starº inº glory.º 42 Soº alsoº [is] the² resurrectionº of the² dead.º It is sownºª inº corruption;º it is raisedºª inº incorruption:º 43 It is sownºª inº dishonour;º it is raisedºª inº glory:º it is sownºª inº weakness;º it is raisedºª inº power:º 44 It is sownºª a naturalº body;º it is raisedºª a spiritualº body.º There isºª a naturalº body,º andº there isºª a spiritualº body.º 45 Andº soº it is written,ºª The² firstº manº Adamº was madeºª¹ a² livingºª soul;º the² lastº Adamº [was made]º a quickeningºª spirit.º 46 Howbeitº that [was] notº firstº which is spiritual,º butº that which is natural;º and afterwardº that which is spiritual.º 47 The² firstº manº [is] ofº the earth,º earthy:º the² secondº manº [is] the² Lordº fromº heaven.º 48 Asº [is] the² earthy,º suchº [are] they also¹ that are earthy:º² andº as² [is]¹ the² heavenly,º suchº [are] they¹ª also¹ that are heavenly.º² 49 Andº asº we have borneºª the² imageº of the² earthy,º we shall¹ª alsoº bearºª the² imageº of the² heavenly.º 50 Nowº thisº I say,ºª brethren,º thatº fleshº andº bloodº cannotººª inheritºª the kingdomº of God;º neitherº doth¹ª corruptionº inheritºª incorruption.º
