Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else.

For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

For who makes you a differ, brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

But you, forsooth, are already full, are you? You are already rich? Without us you are already reigning? Yes, and I would that you did reign, so that we also might reign with you.

let those who weep be as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them.

nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel.

What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?

But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ arisen;

But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.

Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are really not raised, why are they baptized for them?

If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.

But some one will ask. "How are the dead raised? and with what body are they coming?"

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

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