1 Now I explain to you, brethren, the good message which I have announced to you, and which you have received, and in which you have been established,
2 and through which you are preserved, if you hold fast to each statement I have announced to you, unless outside you have believed without purpose.
3 For you are among the first that I had transmitted to that which I also had received. That Christ had been slain for our errors, in accordance with the writings;
4 and that He had been buried, and that He was raised in the third day, in accordance with the writings;
5 and that He had appeared to Kephas, then to the twelve.
6 Thereafter He had appeared to more than five hundred brethren at the same time, of whom the greater number remain until presently, but some have died.
7 Then He had appeared to Iakobos, then to all of the ambassadors;
8 and last of all, just as if from a wound, He had appeared to me also.
9 Therefore I am the least of the ambassadors, I who am not fit to be called an ambassador, since I had persecuted the assembly of Yahweh.
10 But in the favor of Yahweh I am that which I am, and His favor to me has not become empty, rather I have toiled more exceedingly than them all, though not I, but that favor of Yahweh that is with me.
11 Therefore whether it is I or those others, in that manner we proclaim, and in that manner you have believed.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed, that from of the dead He has been raised, how do some among you say that there is not a restoration of the dead?
13 Then if there is not a restoration of the dead, neither has Christ been raised;
14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is empty, and empty is your faith.
15 Then we are also found to be false witnesses of Yahweh, because we have testified concerning Yahweh, that He raises the Anointed, which He does not raise if indeed then the dead are not raised.
16 Indeed if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised,
17 but if Christ has not been raised, empty is your faith; you are still in your errors.
18 And then those that have been dying in Christ have been destroyed.
19 If only in this life have we had hope in Christ, we are the most pitiable of all mankind.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruit of those who are sleeping.
21 Indeed since death is through a man, restoration of the dead is also through a man.
22 Just as in Adam all die, then in that manner in Christ all shall be produced alive.
23 But each in his own order: the first fruit, Christ; then those of the Anointed at His arrival.
24 Then the consummation, when He should hand over the kingdom to Yahweh who is also the Father; when He shall abolish all rule and all license and power.
25 Indeed it is necessary for Him to reign, until He should place all of the enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy abolished is death,
27 therefore "all are subjected under His feet." Now until it may be said that it is evident that all things have been subjected, (because outside of the subjecting of all things to Himself
28 and until all things are in subjection to Him,) then also the Son Himself will be subjected in the subjecting of all things to Himself, in order that Yahweh may be all things among all.
29 Otherwise what else would they who are immersing themselves on behalf of the dead be doing, if the dead are not raised at all? Why are they even immersed on behalf of them?
30 And why do we risk every moment?
31 Daily I am slain; yea, your reason to boast, brethren, which I have in Christ Yahshua our Prince.
32 If like a man I have fought with beasts in Ephesos, what good is it to me if the dead are not raised? "We should eat and we should drink, since tomorrow we may die."
33 Do not be deceived, "bad associations corrupt good character."
34 You should be sober with reason, and do not commit error. Indeed some have ignorance of Yahweh. I speak from respect to you.
35 But some will say, 'How are the dead raised?' and 'With what sort of body will they come?'
36 Foolish! That which you sow, is it not made alive even if it may die?
37 And that which you sow, it is not the body that you sow that will be producing itself, but a bare grain, whether for example of wheat or of any of the rest;
38 And Yahweh gives to it a body just as He has willed, and to each one of those seeds its own body.
39 Not all flesh is the same flesh, but one flesh of man, and another flesh of beasts, and another of birds, and another of fish.
40 And bodies in heaven, and bodies on earth: but different is the effulgence of the heavenly, and different is that of the earthly:
41 one effulgence of the sun, and another effulgence of the moon, and another effulgence of the stars; a star differs in effulgence from stars.
42 In this way also is the restoration of the dead. It is sown in decay, it is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in honor. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual.
45 And just as it is written, "The first man Adam came into a living soul," the last Adam into a life producing Spirit.
46 But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural, then the spiritual:
47 the first man from out of earth, of soil; the second man from out of heaven.
48 As he of soil, such as those also who are of soil; and as He in heaven, such as those also who are in heaven.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of that of soil, we shall also bear the likeness of that of heaven.
50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood are not be able to inherit the kingdom of Yahweh, nor does decay inherit incorruption.
51 Behold I tell you a mystery, we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed.
52 In an instant, in a dart of an eye, with the last trumpet; for it shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 This decay wants to be clothed in incorruptibility, and this mortal to be clothed in immortality.
54 And when this decay shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then the word that has been written shall come to pass: "Death has been swallowed in victory."
55 "Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?"
56 Now the sting of death is guilt, and the power of guilt is the law;
57 but gratitude is to Yahweh, in whom we are being given the victory through our Prince, Yahshua Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, you become steadfast, immovable, at all times being abundant in the work of the Prince, knowing that your toil is not empty with the Prince.
