And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;

and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;

if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.

And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead -- the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord:

and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you;

my love is with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Blessed is God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, is God,

And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you -- in the person of Christ -- I forgive it,

And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

and to God are thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,

and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,

but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless --

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things done through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

so that if any one is in Christ -- he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, 'Be ye reconciled to God;'

and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

whether -- about Titus -- my partner and towards you fellow-worker, whether -- our brethren, apostles of assemblies -- glory of Christ;

through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's;

for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,

for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,

and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Christ;

The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

for those such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- who is blessed to the ages -- hath known that I do not lie! --

I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;

and He said to me, 'Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, are for your up-building,

since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ's servant I should not be.

for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law -- then Christ died in vain.

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.

so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,

And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
