1 Corinthians 15

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