For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures,

Brethren as pertaining to the gospel which I preached unto you, which ye have also accepted, and in the which ye continue;

This say I brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither doth corruption inherit uncorruption.

Behold, I show a mystery unto you: we shall not all sleep: but we shall all be changed,

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept.

Therefore, my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmovable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

For as by Adam all die; even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,

As it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul," and the last Adam was made a quickening spirit:

For if the dead rise not again, then is Christ not risen again.

Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority, and power.

If Christ be preached, how that he rose from the dead: how say some that are among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

And thereto, they which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet.

But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

and that in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall rise incorruptible: And we shall be changed.

But some man will say, "How shall the dead arise? With what bodies come they in?

For by a man came death, and by a man came resurrection of the dead.

"Death where is thy sting? Hell where is thy victory?"

But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

Either, else what do they which are baptised over the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptised over the dead?

By our rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

by the which also ye are saved - I do you to know, after what manner I preached unto you - if ye keep it, except ye have believed in vain.

and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures,

and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve.

So is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, and riseth in incorruption.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we, of all men, the miserablest.

If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also in vain.

"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.

For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:

That I have fought with beasts at Ephesus after the manner of men, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not again? "Let us eat and drink, tomorrow we shall die."

and every man in his own order: The first is Christ, then they that are Christ's at his coming.

When all things are 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 things.

After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

If it be so that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye in your sins.

For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility: and this mortal must put on immortality.

After that appeared he to James, then to all the apostles.

It is sown a natural body, and riseth a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.

The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord, from heaven.

And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time.

And as we have born the image of the earthy, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.

The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law.

Awake truly out of sleep, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this unto your rebuke.

There is one manner glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, an another glory of the stars. For one star differeth from another in glory.

If there be no rising again of the dead: then is Christ not risen.

Yea, and why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.

There are celestial bodies, and there are bodies terrestrial: But the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

All flesh is not one manner of flesh: but there is one manner flesh of men, another manner flesh of beasts, another manner flesh of fishes, and another of birds.

Thou fool, that which thou sowest, is not quickened except it die.

Whether it were I or they, so have we preached, and so have ye believed.

Howbeit, that is not first which is spiritual: but that which is natural, and then that which is spiritual.

It is sown in dishonour, and riseth in honour. It is sown in weakness, and riseth in power.

and God giveth it a body at his pleasure, to every seed a several body.

And what sowest thou? Thou sowest not that body that shall be: but bare corn - I mean either of wheat, or of some other -

As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy: And as is the heavenly, such are they that are heavenly.
