1 Corinthians 15:51

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