For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

And, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;

And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;

But now Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruit of those who slept.

So that, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Lord.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.

And so it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul," the last Adam was a life-giving Spirit.

For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.

then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.

But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Do not be deceived; evil companionships corrupt good habits.

Then also those that fell asleep in Christ were lost.

for it is right for Him to reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?

For since death is through man, the resurrection of the dead also is through a Man.

O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace which was toward me has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized on behalf of the dead?

Day by day I die, by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the word that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory.

by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures;

and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.

So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

The last enemy made to cease is death.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is worthless, and your faith is also worthless.

For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under His feet, it is plain that it excepts Him who has put all things under Him.

For I am the least of the apostles and am not sufficient to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is to me if the dead are not raised? "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, and afterward they who are Christ's at His coming;

But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subject to Him who has subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all things in all.

Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep.

And if Christ is not raised, your faith is foolish; you are yet in your sins.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

The first man was out of earth, earthy; the second Man was the Lord from Heaven.

And last of all He was seen by me also, as one born out of time.

And according as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.

Be righteously awake, and sin not; for some have ignorance of God. I speak this to your shame.

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.

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

And why are we also in danger every hour?

And we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised Christ; whom He did not raise if the dead are not raised.

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly is truly different, and that of the earthly different;

All flesh is not the same flesh; but one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.

Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

Therefore whether it was I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual.

it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

And God gives it a body as it has pleased Him, and to each of the seeds its own body.

And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare grain (perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest).

Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones. And such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones.
