<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v9_15">15</span> But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void. <span class="v" id="v9_16">16</span> For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News. <span class="v" id="v9_17">17</span> For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward.

That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.</p>

I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. <span class="v" id="v9_23">23</span> Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it. <span class="v" id="v9_24">24</span> Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win. <span class="v" id="v9_25">25</span> Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. <span class="v" id="v9_26">26</span> I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air, <span class="v" id="v9_27">27</span> but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_1">1</span> Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, <span class="v" id="v15_2">2</span> by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_3">3</span> For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, <span class="v" id="v15_4">4</span> that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, <span class="v" id="v15_5">5</span> and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. <span class="v" id="v15_6">6</span> Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep. <span class="v" id="v15_7">7</span> Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, <span class="v" id="v15_8">8</span> and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also. <span class="v" id="v15_9">9</span> For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God. <span class="v" id="v15_10">10</span> But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. <span class="v" id="v15_11">11</span> Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_12">12</span> 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? <span class="v" id="v15_13">13</span> But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised. <span class="v" id="v15_14">14</span> If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain. <span class="v" id="v15_15">15</span> Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised. <span class="v" id="v15_16">16</span> For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised. <span class="v" id="v15_17">17</span> If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. <span class="v" id="v15_18">18</span> Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. <span class="v" id="v15_19">19</span> If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_20">20</span> But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. <span class="v" id="v15_21">21</span> For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. <span class="v" id="v15_22">22</span> For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. <span class="v" id="v15_23">23</span> But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming. <span class="v" id="v15_24">24</span> Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power. <span class="v" id="v15_25">25</span> For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. <span class="v" id="v15_26">26</span> The last enemy that will be abolished is death. <span class="v" id="v15_27">27</span> For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.”<a class="noteref" id="fnref15_1" href="#fn15_1"><sup>✡</sup></a> But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. <span class="v" id="v15_28">28</span> When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.</p>

He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. <span class="v" id="v15_21">21</span> For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. <span class="v" id="v15_22">22</span> For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. <span class="v" id="v15_23">23</span> But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming. <span class="v" id="v15_24">24</span> Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power. <span class="v" id="v15_25">25</span> For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. <span class="v" id="v15_26">26</span> The last enemy that will be abolished is death. <span class="v" id="v15_27">27</span> For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.”<a class="noteref" id="fnref15_1" href="#fn15_1"><sup>✡︎</sup></a> But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. <span class="v" id="v15_28">28</span> When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_29">29</span> Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead?

I say this to your shame.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_35">35</span> But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?” <span class="v" id="v15_36">36</span> You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies. <span class="v" id="v15_37">37</span> That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind. <span class="v" id="v15_38">38</span> But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. <span class="v" id="v15_39">39</span> All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. <span class="v" id="v15_40">40</span> There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial. <span class="v" id="v15_41">41</span> 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.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_42">42</span> So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable. <span class="v" id="v15_43">43</span> It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. <span class="v" id="v15_44">44</span> It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_45">45</span> So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.”<a class="noteref" id="fnref15_3" href="#fn15_3"><sup>✡</sup></a> The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. <span class="v" id="v15_46">46</span> However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual. <span class="v" id="v15_47">47</span> The first man is of the earth, made of dust.
