1Brethren as pertaining to the gospel(gospell) which I preached unto you, which ye have also accepted, and in the which ye continue:(stand)
2by the which also ye are saved, I do you to wit after what manner I preached unto you, if ye keep it, except ye have believed in vain.
3For first of all I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing(according) to the scriptures:
4and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve;
6After that he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.
7After that appeared he to James, then to all the apostles.
8And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time.
9For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:
10But by the favour(grace) of God I am that I am. And his favour(grace) which is in me was not in vain: but I laboured more abundantly than they all, (yet) not I, but the favour(grace) of God which is with me.
11Whether it were I or they, so have we preach, and so have ye believed.
12If Christ be preached how that he rose from death:(the dead:) how say some that are among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13If there be no rising again(resurrection) of death:(the dead:) then is Christ not risen.
14If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also in vain.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified against(of) god how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.
16For if the dead rise not again, then is Christ not risen again.
17If it be so that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye in your sins.
18And (thereto) they which are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
19If in this life only we believe(hope) on Christ, then are we of all men the miserablest.
20(But) Now is Christ risen from death,(the dead) and is become the first fruits of them that slept.
21For by a man came death, and by a man came resurrection of death.(the dead.)
22For as by Adam all die: even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,
23and every man in his own order: The first is Christ, then they that are(belong unto) Christ's(Christis) at his coming.(when he commeth)
24Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority,(and all superiority) and power.
25For he must rule(reign) till he have put all his enemies under his feet.
26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27For 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.
28When 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.
29Other(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?
30(Yea) And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31by our rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesu our Lord, I die daily.
32That I have fought with beasts at Ephesus after the manner of men, what advantageth(helpeth) it me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, tomorrow we shall die.
33Be not deceived: malicious(evil) speakings corrupt good manners.
34Awake truly out of sleep,(right up) and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this unto your rebuke.
35But some man will(might) say: how shall the dead arise? with what(what manner of) body shall they come? (in)
36Thou fool, that which thou sowest, is not quickened except it die.
37And what sowest thou? Thou sowest not that body that shall be: but bare corn (I mean either of wheat, or of some other)
38and God giveth it a body at his pleasure, to every seed a several body.(will, and unto every one of the seeds his own body)
39All 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.
40There are celestial(heavenly) bodies, and there are bodies terrestrial:(earthly bodies) But the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.(but the heavenly have one glory, and the earthly another)
41There is one manner glory(clearness) of the sun, and another glory(clearness) of the moon, an another glory(clearness) of the stars. For one star differeth from another in glory.(for one star excelleth another in clearness)
42So is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, and riseth(shall rise) in incorruption.
43It is sown in dishonour, and riseth in honour.(glory) It is sown in weakness, and riseth in power.
44It is sown a natural body, and riseth a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.
45As it is written: The first man Adam was made a living soul: and the last Adam was made a quickening spirit:
46but(Howbeit) that is not first which is spiritual: but that which is natural, and then that which is spiritual.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is from heaven, heavenly.(the second man is the Lorde from heaven.)
48As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy: And as is the heavenly, such are they that are heavenly.
49And as we have born the image of the earthy, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
50This say I brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither doth corruption inherit uncorruption.
51Behold I shew a mystery unto you: we shall not all sleep: but we shall all be changed,
52and that in a moment,(suddenly) and in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound(time) of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall rise incorruptible: And we shall be changed.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility: and this mortal must put on immortality.
54When 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.(then shall the word be fulfilled that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.)
55Death where is thy sting? Hell where is thy victory?
56The sting of death is sin. (:and) The strength of sin is the law:
57But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory thorow our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
