III. LA RISURREZIONE DEI MORTI

Il fatto della risurrezione

15 Vi rendo noto, fratelli, il vangelo che vi ho annunziato e che voi avete ricevuto, nel quale restate saldi, 2 e dal quale anche ricevete la salvezza, se lo mantenete in quella forma in cui ve l'ho annunziato. Altrimenti, avreste creduto invano!

3 Vi ho trasmesso dunque, anzitutto, quello che anch'io ho ricevuto: che cioè Cristo morì per i nostri peccati secondo le Scritture, 4 fu sepolto ed è risuscitato il terzo giorno secondo le Scritture, 5 e che apparve a Cefa e quindi ai Dodici. 6 In seguito apparve a più di cinquecento fratelli in una sola volta: la maggior parte di essi vive ancora, mentre alcuni sono morti. 7 Inoltre apparve a Giacomo, e quindi a tutti gli apostoli. 8 Ultimo fra tutti apparve anche a me come a un aborto. 9 Io infatti sono l'infimo degli apostoli, e non sono degno neppure di essere chiamato apostolo, perché ho perseguitato la Chiesa di Dio. 10 Per grazia di Dio però sono quello che sono, e la sua grazia in me non è stata vana; anzi ho faticato più di tutti loro, non io però, ma la grazia di Dio che è con me. 11 Pertanto, sia io che loro, così predichiamo e così avete creduto.

12 Ora, se si predica che Cristo è risuscitato dai morti, come possono dire alcuni tra voi che non esiste risurrezione dei morti? 13 Se non esiste risurrezione dai morti, neanche Cristo è risuscitato! 14 Ma se Cristo non è risuscitato, allora è vana la nostra predicazione ed è vana anche la vostra fede. 15 Noi, poi, risultiamo falsi testimoni di Dio, perché contro Dio abbiamo testimoniato che egli ha risuscitato Cristo, mentre non lo ha risuscitato, se è vero che i morti non risorgono. 16 Se infatti i morti non risorgono, neanche Cristo è risorto; 17 ma se Cristo non è risorto, è vana la vostra fede e voi siete ancora nei vostri peccati. 18 E anche quelli che sono morti in Cristo sono perduti. 19 Se poi noi abbiamo avuto speranza in Cristo soltanto in questa vita, siamo da compiangere più di tutti gli uomini.

20 Ora, invece, Cristo è risuscitato dai morti, primizia di coloro che sono morti. 21 Poiché se a causa di un uomo venne la morte, a causa di un uomo verrà anche la risurrezione dei morti; 22 e come tutti muoiono in Adamo, così tutti riceveranno la vita in Cristo. 23 Ciascuno però nel suo ordine: prima Cristo, che è la primizia; poi, alla sua venuta, quelli che sono di Cristo; 24 poi sarà la fine, quando egli consegnerà il regno a Dio Padre, dopo aver ridotto al nulla ogni principato e ogni potestà e potenza. 25 Bisogna infatti che egli regni finché non abbia posto tutti i nemici sotto i suoi piedi. 26 L'ultimo nemico ad essere annientato sarà la morte, 27 perché ogni cosa ha posto sotto i suoi piedi. Però quando dice che ogni cosa è stata sottoposta, è chiaro che si deve eccettuare Colui che gli ha sottomesso ogni cosa. 28 E quando tutto gli sarà stato sottomesso, anche lui, il Figlio, sarà sottomesso a Colui che gli ha sottomesso ogni cosa, perché Dio sia tutto in tutti.

29 Altrimenti, che cosa farebbero quelli che vengono battezzati per i morti? Se davvero i morti non risorgono, perché si fanno battezzare per loro? 30 E perché noi ci esponiamo al pericolo continuamente? 31 Ogni giorno io affronto la morte, come è vero che voi siete il mio vanto, fratelli, in Cristo Gesù nostro Signore! 32 Se soltanto per ragioni umane io avessi combattuto a Efeso contro le belve, a che mi gioverebbe? Se i morti non risorgono, mangiamo e beviamo, perché domani moriremo. 33 Non lasciatevi ingannare: «Le cattive compagnie corrompono i buoni costumi». 34 Ritornate in voi, come conviene, e non peccate! Alcuni infatti dimostrano di non conoscere Dio; ve lo dico a vostra vergogna.

Il modo della risurrezione

35 Ma qualcuno dirà: «Come risuscitano i morti? Con quale corpo verranno?». 36 Stolto! Ciò che tu semini non prende vita, se prima non muore; 37 e quello che semini non è il corpo che nascerà, ma un semplice chicco, di grano per esempio o di altro genere. 38 E Dio gli dà un corpo come ha stabilito, e a ciascun seme il proprio corpo. 39 Non ogni carne è la medesima carne; altra è la carne di uomini e altra quella di animali; altra quella di uccelli e altra quella di pesci. 40 Vi sono corpi celesti e corpi terrestri, ma altro è lo splendore dei corpi celesti, e altro quello dei corpi terrestri. 41 Altro è lo splendore del sole, altro lo splendore della luna e altro lo splendore delle stelle: ogni stella infatti differisce da un'altra nello splendore. 42 Così anche la risurrezione dei morti: si semina corruttibile e risorge incorruttibile; 43 si semina ignobile e risorge glorioso, si semina debole e risorge pieno di forza; 44 si semina un corpo animale, risorge un corpo spirituale.

Se c'è un corpo animale, vi è anche un corpo spirituale, poiché sta scritto che 45 il primo uomo, Adamo, divenne un essere vivente, ma l'ultimo Adamo divenne spirito datore di vita. 46 Non vi fu prima il corpo spirituale, ma quello animale, e poi lo spirituale. 47 Il primo uomo tratto dalla terra è di terra, il secondo uomo viene dal cielo. 48 Quale è l'uomo fatto di terra, così sono quelli di terra; ma quale il celeste, così anche i celesti. 49 E come abbiamo portato l'immagine dell'uomo di terra, così porteremo l'immagine dell'uomo celeste. 50 Questo vi dico, o fratelli: la carne e il sangue non possono ereditare il regno di Dio, né ciò che è corruttibile può ereditare l'incorruttibilità.

51 Ecco io vi annunzio un mistero: non tutti, certo, moriremo, ma tutti saremo trasformati, 52 in un istante, in un batter d'occhio, al suono dell'ultima tromba; suonerà infatti la tromba e i morti risorgeranno incorrotti e noi saremo trasformati. 53 E' necessario infatti che questo corpo corruttibile si vesta di incorruttibilità e questo corpo mortale si vesta di immortalità.

Inno trionfale

54 Quando poi questo corpo corruttibile si sarà vestito d'incorruttibilità e questo corpo mortale d'immortalità, si compirà la parola della Scrittura:

La morte è stata ingoiata per la vittoria.
55 Dov'è, o morte, la tua vittoria?
Dov'è, o morte, il tuo pungiglione? 56 Il pungiglione della morte è il peccato e la forza del peccato è la legge. 57 Siano rese grazie a Dio che ci dà la vittoria per mezzo del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo! 58 Perciò, fratelli miei carissimi, rimanete saldi e irremovibili, prodigandovi sempre nell'opera del Signore, sapendo che la vostra fatica non è vana nel Signore.

Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

البِشَارَةُ بِالمَسِيح

15 وَالْآنَ أوَدُّ أنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ، أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ، بِالبِشَارَةِ الَّتِي بَشَّرتُكُمْ بِهَا، وَتَلَقَّيتُمُوهَا، وَأنْتُمْ مُسْتَمِرُّونَ فِيهَا بِقُوَّةٍ. 2 وَهِيَ البِشَارَةُ الَّتِي بِوَاسِطَتِهَا أنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ أيْضًا، مَا دُمتُمْ مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِالرِّسَالَةِ الَّتِي بَشَّرتُكُمْ بِهَا. وَإلَّا فَإنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ قَدْ آمَنتُمْ بِلَا فَائِدَةٍ.

3 فَقَدْ سَلَّمتُ إلَيكُمْ، أوَّلَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ، الإعلَانَ الَّذِي تَلَقَّيتُهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ: وَهُوَ أنَّ المَسِيحَ مَاتَ مِنْ أجْلِ خَطَايَانَا، كَمَا جَاءَ فِي الكُتُبِ. 4 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دُفِنَ وَأُقِيمَ فِي اليَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، كَمَا جَاءَ فِي الكُتُبِ. 5 وَظَهَرَ لِبُطرُسَ، ثُمَّ لِمَجمُوعَةِ «الِاثنَيْ عَشَرَ.»[a] 6 ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ لِأكثَرَ مِنْ خَمسِ مِئَةِ أخٍ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. وَمُعظَمُ هَؤُلَاءِ مَا زَالُوا أحيَاءً إلَى الآنَ. 7 ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ لِيَعْقُوبَ، ثُمَّ لِجَمِيعِ الرُّسُلِ. 8 ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ لِي أنَا آخِرَ الكُلِّ كَمَا لِلمَولُودِ قَبْلَ وَقْتِهِ!

9 فَأنَا أقَلُّ الرُّسُلِ، بَلْ إنِّي غَيْرُ جَدِيرٍ بِلَقَبِ رَسُولٍ، لِأنِّي اضطَهَدتُ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ. 10 لَكِنْ مَا أنَا عَليهِ الآنَ، هُوَ بِفَضْلِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ. وَلَمْ أتَلَقَّ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ بِلَا فَائِدَةٍ، بَلْ عَمِلْتُ أكْثَرَ مِنْ بَاقِي الرُّسُلِ جَمِيعًا، رُغْمَ أنِّي لَمْ أكُنْ أنَا العَامِلُ، بَلْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ عَمِلَتْ فِيَّ. 11 فَسَوَاءٌ أنَا الَّذِي بَشَّرتُكُمْ أمْ هُمْ، فَهَذَا هُوَ مَا نُبَشِّرُ بِهِ كُلُّنَا، وَهَذَا مَا آمَنتُمْ بِهِ.

سَنُقَامُ مِنَ المَوْت

12 لَكِنْ مَا دُمنَا نُبَشِّرُ بِأنَّ المَسِيحَ أُقِيمَ مِنَ المَوْتِ، فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ بَعْضٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ إنَّهُ لَا تُوجَدُ قِيَامَةٌ لِلأمْوَاتِ؟ 13 فَإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ هُنَاكَ قِيَامَةٌ لِلأمْوَاتِ، فَمَعنَى هَذَا أنَّ المَسِيحَ لَمْ يُقَمْ مِنَ المَوْتِ. 14 وَإنْ كَانَ هَذَا صَحِيحًا فَإنَّ رِسَالَتَنَا فَارِغَةٌ، وَإيمَانُكُمْ فَارِغٌ. 15 وَنَكُونُ بِهَذَا شهُودًا كَاذِبِينَ عَنِ اللهِ، لِأنَّنَا نَشهَدُ عَنِ اللهِ أنَّهُ أقَامَ المَسِيحَ مِنَ المَوْتِ! 16 فَإنْ كَانَ الأمْوَاتُ لَا يَقُومُونَ حَقًّا، فَإنَّ المَسِيحَ لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنَ المَوْتِ! 17 وَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ المَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ مِنَ المَوْتِ، يَكُونُ إيمَانُكُمْ بَاطِلًا، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ لَمْ تُغفَرْ بَعْدُ، 18 وَيَكُونُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي المَسِيحِ قَدْ هَلَكُوا. 19 وَإنْ كَانَ رَجَاؤُنَا فِي المَسِيحِ مُرتَبِطًا بِهَذِهِ الحَيَاةِ فَقَطْ، فَنَحْنُ أكْثَرُ النَّاسِ استِحقَاقًا لِلشَّفَقَةِ.

20 لَكِنِ الحَقِيقَةُ هِيَ أنَّ المَسِيحَ قَدْ قَامَ بِالفِعْلِ مِنَ المَوْتِ، وَهُوَ أوَّلُ حَصَادِ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا.[b] 21 فَبِمَا أنَّ المَوْتَ جَاءَ بِإنْسَانٍ، كَذَلِكَ جَاءَتْ قِيَامَةُ الأمْوَاتِ بِإنْسَانٍ. 22 الجَمِيعُ يَمُوتُونَ بِسَبَبِ مَا فَعَلَهُ آدَمُ، وَكَذَلِكَ يَحيَا الجَمِيعُ بِسَبَبِ مَا فَعَلَهُ المَسِيحُ. 23 لَكِنْ يُقَامُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ تَرْتِيبِهِ الخَاصِّ: المَسِيحُ الَّذِي هُوَ أوَّلُ الحَصَادِ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَمُونَ إلَى المَسِيحِ حِينَ يَأتِي ثَانِيَةً. 24 ثُمَّ تَأْتِي النِّهَايَةُ، حِينَ يُسَلِّمُ المَسِيحُ المَلَكُوتَ للهِ الآبِ، بَعْدَ أنْ يَقْضِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ رِئَاسَةٍ وَسُلطَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ تُقَاوِمُ اللهَ.

25 إذْ يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَمْلُكَ المَسِيحُ إلَى أنْ يَضَعَ اللهُ أعْدَاءَهُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيهِ.[c] 26 وَسَيَكُونُ المَوْتُ آخِرَ عَدُوٍّ يُقضَى عَلَيْهِ. 27 إذْ يَقُولُ الكِتَابُ إنَّ: «كُلَّ الأشْيَاءِ أُخضِعَتْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيهِ.» وَحِينَ يَقُولُ الكِتَابُ إنَّ «كُلَّ الأشْيَاءِ أُخضِعَتْ،»[d] فَمِنَ الوَاضِحِ أنَّ هَذِهِ الأشْيَاءَ لَا تَشْمَلُ اللهَ الَّذِي أخضَعَ كُلَّ الأشْيَاءِ لِلمَسِيحِ. 28 وَبَعْدَ أنْ تُخضَعَ كُلُّ الأشْيَاءِ، فَسَيَخْضَعُ الابْنُ نَفْسُهُ للهِ الَّذِي أخضَعَ لَهُ كُلَّ الأشْيَاءِ، لِكَي يَكُونَ اللهُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ بَيْنَ الجَمِيعِ.

29 وَإلَّا، فَمَا الَّذِي يَفْعَلُهُ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَتَعَمَّدُونَ عَنِ الأمْوَاتِ؟ فَإنْ كَانَ المَوْتَى لَا يُقَامُونَ مِنَ المَوْتِ، فَلِمَاذَا يَتَعَمَّدُونَ عَنْهُمْ؟ 30 وَمَا الَّذِي يَدْفَعُنَا نَحْنُ إلَى مُواجَهَةِ الخَطَرِ فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ؟ 31 إنِّي أُواجِهُ المَوْتَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ الَّذِينَ أفتَخِرُ بِكُمْ فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا. 32 فَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَارَبتُ وُحُوشًا فِي أفَسُسَ مِنْ أجْلِ أسبَابٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ، فَمَا الَّذِي كَسِبتُهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ذَلِكَ؟ وَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ المَوْتَى يُقَامُونَ، إذًا «فَلْنَأكُلْ وَنَشرَبْ لِأنَّنَا غَدًا سَنَمُوتُ!»[e]

33 لَا تَسْمَحُوا بِأنْ يُضِلَّكُمْ أحَدٌ: «فَرِفَاقُ السُّوءِ يُفسِدُونَ الأخلَاقَ الصَّالِحَةَ.» 34 عُودُوا إلَى عَقلِكُمْ وَكُفُّوا عَنِ الخَطِيَّةِ، إذْ إنَّ بَعْضًا مِنْكُمْ مَا يَزَالُ يَجْهَلُ اللهَ. أقُولُ هَذَا لِكَي تَخْجَلُوا!

جَسَدُ القِيَامَة

35 لَكِنْ رُبَّمَا يَسألُ أحَدُكُمْ: «كَيْفَ يُقَامُ الأمْوَاتُ؟ وَمَا نَوعُ الجَسَدِ الَّذِي سَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ؟» 36 يَا جَاهِلُ، إنَّ مَا تَزْرَعُهُ لَا يَحيَا إنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ أوَّلًا. 37 فَعِنْدَمَا تَزْرَعُ، أنْتَ لَا تَزْرَعُ نَبتَةً نَاضِجَةً، بَلْ مُجَرَّدَ حَبَّةٍ عَارِيَةٍ. سَوَاءٌ أكَانَتْ حَبَّةَ قَمْحٍ أمْ أيَّ نَوعٍ آخَرَ مِنَ الحُبُوبِ. 38 ثُمَّ يُعْطِيهَا اللهُ شَكلًا كَمَا يَشَاءُ. فَيُعْطِي لِكُلِّ بِذرَةٍ شَكلَهَا. 39 وَلَيْسَتْ كُلُّ الأجسَامِ مُتَمَاثِلَةً. فَللبَشَرِ جِسْمٌ، وَللحَيَوَانَاتِ جِسْمٌ، وَلِلطُّيُورِ جِسمٌ، وَلِلأسمَاكِ جِسمٌ. 40 وَهُنَاكَ أجسَامٌ سَمَاوِيَّةٌ وَأجسَامٌ أرْضِيَّةٌ. لِلأجسَامِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ بَهَاءٌ، وَلِلأجسَامِ الأرْضِيَّةِ بَهَاءٌ آخَرُ، 41 لِلشَّمسِ بَهَاءٌ، وَلِلقَمَرِ بَهَاءٌ، وَلِلنُّجُومِ بَهَاءٌ. وَيَخْتَلِفُ نَجمٌ عَنْ نَجمٍ آخَرَ فِي البَهَاءِ.

42 هَكَذَا أيْضًا عِنْدَمَا يُقَامُ الأمْوَاتُ. فَالجَسَدُ الَّذِي يُدفَنُ فِي الأرْضِ يَتَعَفَّنُ، أمَّا الجَسَدُ الَّذِي يُقَامُ فَلَا يَمُوتُ. 43 الجَسَدُ الَّذِي يُدفَنُ هُوَ دُونَ كَرَامَةٍ، أمَّا الجَسَدُ المُقَامُ فَمَجِيدٌ. الجَسَدُ الَّذِي يُدفَنُ ضَعِيفٌ، أمَّا الجَسَدُ المُقَامُ فَقَوِيٌّ. 44 مَا يُدفَنُ فِي الأرْضِ جَسَدٌ مَادِّيٌّ، وَمَا يُقَامُ جَسَدٌ رُوحِيٌّ. وَبِمَا أنَّ هُنَاكَ أجسَادًا مَادِّيَّةً، فَهُنَاكَ أيْضًا أجسَادٌ رُوحِيَّةٌ. 45 يَقُولُ الكِتَابُ:

«صَارَ الإنْسَانُ الأوَّلُ، آدَمُ، نَفْسًا حَيَّةً.»[f]

أمَّا المَسِيحُ، آدَمُ الأخِيرُ، فَهوَ رُوحٌ مُحْيٍ. 46 لَمْ يَأْتِ الرُّوحِيُّ أوَّلًا، بَلِ الطَّبِيعِيُّ هُوَ الَّذِي أتَى أوَّلًا، ثُمَّ الرُّوحِيُّ. 47 أتَى الإنْسَانُ الأوَّلُ مِنَ الأرْضِ وَخُلِقَ مِنَ التُّرَابِ، أمَّا الثَّانِي فَقَدْ أتَى مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. 48 وَالنَّاسُ مَخْلُوقُونَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ، مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ المَخْلُوقِ مِنَ التُّرَابِ. أمَّا الشَّعْبُ السَّمَاوِيُّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ السَّمَاوِيِّ. 49 وَكَمَا حَمَلْنَا صُورَةَ ذَلِكَ التُّرَابيِّ، سَنَحمِلُ أيْضًا صُورَةَ السَّمَاوِيِّ. 50 وَأنَا أقُولُ لَكُمْ، أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ إنَّ أجسَادَنَا الأرْضِيَّةَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أنْ تَرِثَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ. كَذَلِكَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ مَا هُوَ قَابِلٌ لِلمَوْتِ أنْ يَرِثَ مَا لَيْسَ قَابِلًا لِلمَوْتِ.

51 سَأُخبِرُكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الحَقِيقَةِ الخَفِيَّةِ: لَنْ نَرْقُدَ كُلُّنَا رُقودَ المَوْتِ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيُغَيِّرُنَا كُلَّنَا فِي لَحظَةٍ، 52 بَلْ فِي طَرفَةِ عَينٍ، عِنْدَمَا يُسمَعُ صَوْتُ البُوقِ الأخِيرِ. إذْ سَيُصَوِّتُ البُوقُ، وَسَيُقَامُ الأمْوَاتُ غَيْرَ قَابِلِينَ لِلمَوْتِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ. وَنَحْنُ البَاقِينَ أحيَاءً سَنُغَيَّرُ. 53 إذْ يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَلْبَسَ هَذَا الجَسَدُ الفَاسِدُ مَا لَيْسَ فَاسِدًا، وَأنْ يَلْبَسَ هَذَا الجَسَدُ القَابِلُ لِلمَوْتِ مَا لَيْسَ قَابِلًا لِلمَوْتِ. 54 وَحِينَ يَلْبَسُ هَذَا الجَسَدُ القَابِلُ لِلمَوْتِ مَا لَيْسَ قَابِلًا لِلمَوْتِ، وَيَلْبَسُ الجَسَدُ الفَانِي مَا لَا يَفْنَى، يَتَحَقَّقُ المَكْتُوبُ:

«هُزِمَ المَوْتُ.»[g]

55 «أيْنَ يَا مَوْتُ انتِصَارُكَ؟
وَأينَ يَا قَبْرُ لَدغَتُكَ؟»[h]

56 فَالخَطِيَّةُ تُعطِي المَوْتَ قُدرَتَهُ عَلَى اللَّدغِ! وَقُوَّةُ الخَطِيَّةِ نَابِعَةٌ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ. 57 لَكِنْ كُلُّ الشُّكْرِ للهِ الَّذِي يُعطِينَا النَّصرَ فِي رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ.

58 إذًا اثبُتُوا، أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ، وَلَا تَسْمَحُوا لِشَيءٍ بِأنْ يُزَحزِحَكُمْ. وَكَرِّسُوا أنْفُسَكُمْ لِعَمَلِ الرَّبِّ بِشَكلٍ كَامِلٍ، لِأنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أنَّ عَمَلَكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ لَا يَضِيعُ.

1 Corinthians 15
New International Version

The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel(A) I preached to you,(B) which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved,(C) if you hold firmly(D) to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received(E) I passed on to you(F) as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins(G) according to the Scriptures,(H) 4 that he was buried,(I) that he was raised(J) on the third day(K) according to the Scriptures,(L) 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b](M) and then to the Twelve.(N) 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.(O) 7 Then he appeared to James,(P) then to all the apostles,(Q) 8 and last of all he appeared to me also,(R) as to one abnormally born.

9 For I am the least of the apostles(S) and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(T) the church of God.(U) 10 But by the grace(V) of God I am what I am, and his grace to me(W) was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them(X)—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.(Y) 11 Whether, then, it is I or they,(Z) this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead,(AA) how can some of you say that there is no resurrection(AB) of the dead?(AC) 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised,(AD) our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.(AE) But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.(AF) 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep(AG) in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.(AH)

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,(AI) the firstfruits(AJ) of those who have fallen asleep.(AK) 21 For since death came through a man,(AL) the resurrection of the dead(AM) comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.(AN) 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;(AO) then, when he comes,(AP) those who belong to him.(AQ) 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom(AR) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.(AS) 25 For he must reign(AT) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(AU) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(AV) 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c](AW) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.(AX) 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,(AY) so that God may be all in all.(AZ)

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?(BA) 31 I face death every day(BB)—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts(BC) in Ephesus(BD) with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

“Let us eat and drink,
    for tomorrow we die.”[d](BE)

33 Do not be misled:(BF) “Bad company corrupts good character.”[e](BG) 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God(BH)—I say this to your shame.(BI)

The Resurrection Body

35 But someone will ask,(BJ) “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”(BK) 36 How foolish!(BL) What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.(BM) 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.(BN) 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor,(BO) the moon another and the stars another;(BP) and star differs from star in splendor.

42 So will it be(BQ) with the resurrection of the dead.(BR) The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;(BS) 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;(BT) it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.(BU)

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[f];(BV) the last Adam,(BW) a life-giving spirit.(BX) 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.(BY) 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth;(BZ) the second man is of heaven.(CA) 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.(CB) 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,(CC) so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man.(CD)

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood(CE) cannot inherit the kingdom of God,(CF) nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.(CG) 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery:(CH) We will not all sleep,(CI) but we will all be changed(CJ)— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,(CK) the dead(CL) will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable(CM) must clothe itself with the imperishable,(CN) and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h](CO)

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”[i](CP)

56 The sting of death is sin,(CQ) and the power of sin is the law.(CR) 57 But thanks be to God!(CS) He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.(CT)

58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,(CU) because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.(CV)

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality(A)

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel (B)which I preached to you, which also you received and (C)in which you stand, 2 (D)by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless (E)you believed in vain.

3 For (F)I delivered to you first of all that (G)which I also received: that Christ died for our sins (H)according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day (I)according to the Scriptures, 5 (J)and that He was seen by [a]Cephas, then (K)by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have [b]fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then (L)by all the apostles. 8 (M)Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 For I am (N)the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because (O)I persecuted the church of God. 10 But (P)by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, (Q)yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Risen Christ, Our Hope(R)

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, (S)then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because (T)we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; (U)you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have [c]fallen (V)asleep in Christ have perished. 19 (W)If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now (X)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become (Y)the firstfruits of those who have [d]fallen asleep. 21 For (Z)since by man came death, (AA)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall (AB)be made alive. 23 But (AC)each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers (AD)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign (AE)till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 (AF)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For (AG)“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 (AH)Now when all things are made subject to Him, then (AI)the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

Effects of Denying the Resurrection

29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? 30 And (AJ)why do we stand in [e]jeopardy every hour? 31 I affirm, by (AK)the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, (AL)I die daily. 32 If, in the manner of men, (AM)I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, (AN)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

33 Do not be deceived: (AO)“Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 (AP)Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; (AQ)for some do not have the knowledge of God. (AR)I speak this to your shame.

A Glorious Body

35 But someone will say, (AS)“How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, (AT)what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind [f]of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

40 There are also [g]celestial bodies and [h]terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

42 (AU)So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 (AV)It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, (AW)“The first man Adam became a living being.” (AX)The last Adam became (AY)a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 (AZ)The first man was of the earth, (BA)made[i] of dust; the second Man is [j]the Lord (BB)from heaven. 48 As was the [k]man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; (BC)and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And (BD)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, (BE)we[l] shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that (BF)flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a [m]mystery: (BG)We shall not all sleep, (BH)but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. (BI)For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and (BJ)this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: (BK)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O(BL)[n] Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and (BM)the strength of sin is the law. 57 (BN)But thanks be to God, who gives us (BO)the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 (BP)Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing (BQ)that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
