| [1]Γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε, |
[1]And I make known to you, my brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, and which ye received, and in which ye stand, |
| [2]δι’ οὗ καὶ σώζεσθε· τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, εἰ κατέχετε, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ εἰκῇ ἐπιστεύσατε. |
[2]and by which ye have life. In what terms I preached to you, ye remember; unless ye have believed in vain. |
| [3]παρέδωκα γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις, ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον, ὅτι Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς· |
[3]For I delivered to you from the first, as I had received it; that the Messiah died on account of our sins, as it is written: |
| [4]καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη· καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς· |
[4]and that he was buried and arose on the third day, as it is written: |
| [5]καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη Κηφᾷ, εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα· |
[5]and that he was seen by Cephas; and after him, by the twelve: |
| [6]ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ, ἐξ ὧν οἱ πλείους μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι, τινὲς δὲ καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν· |
[6]and after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; many of whom survive at the present time, and some of them sleep. |
| [7]ἔπειτα ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ, εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν· |
[7]And subsequently to this, he was seen by James; and after him, by all the legates. |
| [8]ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί. |
[8]And last of them all, he was seen by me, as it were by an abortion. |
| [9]ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὃς οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος, διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
[9]I am the least of the legates; and am not worthy to be called a legate; because I persecuted the church of God. |
| [10]χάριτι δὲ Θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι, καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ κενὴ ἐγενήθη, ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα, οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλ’ ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ σὺν ἐμοί. |
[10]But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace, that was in me, was not in vain; but I labored more than they all:-not I, but his grace that was with me. |
| [11]εἴτε οὖν ἐγὼ, εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι, οὕτω κηρύσσομεν καὶ οὕτως ἐπιστεύσατε. |
[11]Whether I, therefore, or whether they, so we preached; and so ye believed. |
| [12]Εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς κηρύσσεται ὅτι ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγήγερται, πῶς λέγουσι τινες ἐν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν; |
[12]And if the Messiah is proclaimed, as rising from the dead; how is it that there are some among you, who say, There is no reviviscence of the dead? |
| [13]εἰ δὲ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν, οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται· |
[13]And if there is no reviviscence of the dead, the Messiah also hath not risen. |
| [14]εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, κενὸν ἄρα τὸ κήρυγμα ἡμῶν, κενὴ δὲ καὶ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν, |
[14]And if the Messiah hath not risen, our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain. |
| [15]εὑρισκόμεθα δὲ καὶ ψευδομάρτυρες τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι ἐμαρτυρήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὅτι ἤγειρε τὸν Χριστόν, ὃν οὐκ ἤγειρεν, εἴπερ ἄρα νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται. |
[15]And we too are found false witnesses of God; for we have testified concerning God, that he raised up the Messiah, when he did not raise him up. |
| [16]εἰ γὰρ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται· |
[16]For, if the dead will not arise, the Messiah also hath not risen. |
| [17]εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται, ματαία ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν· ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν. |
[17]And if the Messiah rose not, your faith is inane; and ye are yet in your sins: |
| [18]ἄρα καὶ οἱ κοιμηθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ ἀπώλοντο. |
[18]and also, doubtless, they who have fallen asleep in the Messiah, have perished. |
| [19]εἰ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ταύτῃ ἠλπικότες ἐσμὲν ἐν Χριστῷ μόνον, ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐσμέν. |
[19]And if, in this life only, we have hope in the Messiah, we are the most miserable of all men. |
| [20]Νυνὶ δὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἀπαρχὴ τῶν κεκοιμημένων ἐγένετο. |
[20]But now the Messiah hath risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. |
| [21]ἐπειδὴ γὰρ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ὁ θάνατος, καὶ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν. |
[21]And as by a man came death, so also by a man came the reviviscence of the dead. |
| [22]ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν τῷ Ἀδὰμ πάντες ἀποθνήσκουσιν, οὕτω καὶ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ πάντες ζωοποιηθήσονται. |
[22]For as it was by Adam, that all men die, so also by the Messiah they all live: |
| [23]ἕκαστος δὲ ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι· ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός, ἔπειτα οἱ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ. |
[23]every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah's, at his coming. |
| [24]εἶτα τὸ τέλος, ὅταν παραδῷ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρί, ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν. |
[24]And then will be the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God the Father; when every prince, and every sovereign, and all powers shall have come to naught. |
| [25]δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν, ἄχρις οὗ ἄν θῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ. |
[25]For he is to reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet. |
| [26]ἔσχατος ἐχθρὸς καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος. |
[26]And the last enemy, death, will be abolished. |
| [27]Πάντα γὰρ ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ. ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ ὅτι Πάντα ὑποτέτακται, δῆλον ὅτι ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα. |
[27]For he hath subjected all under his feet. But when he said, that every thing is subjected to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all to him. |
| [28]ὅταν δὲ ὑποταγῇ αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς ὑποταγήσεται τῷ ὑποτάξαντι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, ἵνα ᾖ ὁ Θεὸς τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν. |
[28]And when all shall be subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subject to him who subjected all to him, so that God will be all in all. |
| [29]Ἐπεὶ τί ποιήσουσιν οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν; εἰ ὅλως νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, τί καὶ βαπτίζονται ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν; |
[29]Otherwise, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not? Why are they baptized for the dead? |
| [30]τί καὶ ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν; |
[30]And why also do we stand every hour in peril? |
| [31]καθ’ ἡμέραν ἀποθνήσκω, νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν, ἣν ἔχω ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν. |
[31]I protest, my brethren, by your exultation, which is mine in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that I die daily. |
| [32]εἰ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν Ἐφέσῳ, τί μοι τὸ ὄφελος, εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται, φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν, αὔριον γὰρ ἀποθνήσκομεν. |
[32]If, as amongst men, I was cast to wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it profit me, if the dead rise not? " Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die." |
| [33]μὴ πλανᾶσθε· Φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρησθ’ ὁμιλίαι κακαί. |
[33]Be not deceived; " Evil stories corrupt well-disposed minds." |
| [34]ἐκνήψατε δικαίως καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ἀγνωσίαν γὰρ Θεοῦ τινες ἔχουσι· πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν λέγω. |
[34]Let your hearts be righteously excited, and sin not: for there are some, in whom is not the love of God: it is to your shame, I say it. |
| [35]ἀλλ’ ἐρεῖ τις, Πῶς ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί; ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονται; |
[35]But some one of you may say: How will the dead arise? and with what body will they come forth? |
| [36]Ἄφρον, σὺ ὃ σπείρεις, οὐ ζωοποιεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃ· |
[36]Foolish man ! The seed which thou sowest, is not quickened, unless it die. |
| [37]καὶ ὃ σπείρεις, οὐ τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον σπείρεις, ἀλλὰ γυμνὸν κόκκον εἰ τύχοι, σίτου ἤ τινος τῶν λοιπῶν· |
[37]And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that is to be, but the naked kernel of wheat or barley, or of the other grains: |
| [38]ὁ δὲ Θεὸς αὐτῷ δίδωσι σῶμα καθὼς ἠθέλησε, καὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν σπερμάτων τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα. |
[38]and God giveth it a body, as he pleaseth; and to each of the grains its natural body. |
| [39]οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ· ἀλλὰ ἄλλη μὲν σὰρξ ἀνθρώπων, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ ἰχθύων, ἄλλη δὲ πτηνῶν. |
[39]And every body is not alike; for the body of a man is one thing, and that of a beast is another, and that of a bird is another, and that of a fish is another. |
| [40]καὶ σώματα ἐπουράνια, καὶ σώματα ἐπίγεια· ἀλλ’ ἑτέρα μὲν ἡ τῶν ἐπουρανίων δόξα, ἑτέρα δὲ ἡ τῶν ἐπιγείων. |
[40]And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial [bodies] is one, and that of the terrestrial is another. |
| [41]ἄλλη δόξα ἡλίου, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα σελήνης, καὶ ἄλλη δόξα ἀστέρων· ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ. |
[41]And the glory of the sun is one thing, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars is another; and one star exceedeth another star in glory. |
| [42]οὕτω καὶ ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν. σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ· |
[42]So also in the reviviscence of the dead. They are sown in corruption, they arise without corruption: |
| [43]σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δόξῃ· σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ, ἐγείρεται ἐν δυνάμει· |
[43]they are sown in dishonor, they arise in glory: they are sown in weakness, they arise in power: |
| [44]σπείρεται σῶμα ψυχικόν, ἐγείρεται σῶμα πνευματικόν. ἔστι σῶμα ψυχικόν, καὶ ἔστι σῶμα πνευματικόν. |
[44]it is sown an animal body, it ariseth a spiritual body. For there is a body of the animal life, and there is a body of the spirit. |
| [45]οὕτω καὶ γέγραπται, Ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζωσαν. ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα ζωοποιοῦν. |
[45]So also is it written: " Adam, the first man, became a living soul;" the second Adam [became] a quickening spirit. |
| [46]ἀλλ’ οὐ πρῶτον τὸ πνευματικὸν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ψυχικόν, ἔπειτα τὸ πνευματικόν. |
[46]And the spiritual was not first; but the animal, and then the spiritual. |
| [47]ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ γῆς χοϊκός ὁ δεύτερος ἄνθρωπος ὁ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ. |
[47]The first man was of dust from the earth; the second man was the Lord from heaven. |
| [48]οἷος ὁ χοϊκός· τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί, καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι· |
[48]As he was of the dust, so also those who are of the dust; and as was he who was from heaven, so also are the heavenly. |
| [49]καὶ καθὼς ἐφορέσαμεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ χοϊκοῦ, φορέσομεν καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου. |
[49]And as we have worn the likeness of him from the dust, so shall we wear the likeness of him from heaven. |
| [50]Τοῦτο δέ φημι, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα βασιλείαν Θεοῦ κληρονομῆσαι οὐ δύνανται, οὐδὲ ἡ φθορὰ τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν κληρονομεῖ. |
[50]But this I say, my brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. |
| [51]ἰδοὺ, μυστήριον ὑμῖν λέγω· Πάντες μὲν οὐ κοιμηθησόμεθα, πάντες δὲ ἀλλαγησόμεθα, |
[51]Lo, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, |
| [52]ἐν ἀτόμῳ, ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ, ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι· σαλπίσει γάρ, καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα. |
[52]suddenly, as in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, when it shall sound; and the dead will arise, without corruption; and we shall be changed. |
| [53]δεῖ γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν, καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν. |
[53]For this which is corruptible, is to put on incorruption; and that which dieth, will put on immortality. |
| [54]ὅταν δὲ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀφθαρσίαν, καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀθανασίαν, τότε γενήσεται ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος, Κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος. |
[54]And when this that is corruptible, shall put on incorruption, and this that dieth, immortality; then will take place the word that is written, " Death is absorbed in victory." |
| [55]Ποῦ σου, θάνατε, τὸ νῖκος; ποῦ σου, ᾅδη, τὸ κέντρον; |
[55]Where is thy sting, O death? And where is thy victory, O grave? |
| [56]τὸ δὲ κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία· ἡ δὲ δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος· |
[56]Now the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. |
| [57]τῷ δὲ Θεῷ χάρις τῷ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. |
[57]But thanks be to God, that giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus the Messiah. |
| [58]ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, ἑδραῖοι γίνεσθε, ἀμετακίνητοι, περισσεύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ Κυρίου πάντοτε, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστι κενὸς ἐν Κυρίῳ. |
[58]Wherefore, my brethren and my beloved, be ye steadfast, and be not vacillating; but be ye at all times abundant in the work of the Lord; seeing ye know, that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. |
