I did, in deed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

For who gave you distinction, as a teacher? And what have you as a teacher, that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast, as if you had not received it?

You, Corinthians, are already full; you are already rich; you have reigned as kings independently of us. And that you did indeed reign, that we also might reign with you!

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken from among you.

For I, in deed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him that has so done this thing;

and did all eat the same spiritual food,

and. did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ.

Has the word of God come forth from you? or did it come to you only?

But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?

But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised.

We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;

But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.

For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.

For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.

For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead?

If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

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

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