[an error occurred while processing this directive]New American Standard Bible 1995
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Now 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming,
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Why are we also in danger every hour?
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41There 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52[an error occurred while processing this directive]52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53[an error occurred while processing this directive]53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54[an error occurred while processing this directive]54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
55[an error occurred while processing this directive]55"O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"
56[an error occurred while processing this directive]56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;
57[an error occurred while processing this directive]57but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58[an error occurred while processing this directive]58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
