¹ και συ μη λαβης γυναικα λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ

² και ου γεννηθησεται σοι υιος ουδε θυγατηρ εν τω τοπω τουτω

³ οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος περι των υιων και περι των θυγατερων των γεννωμενων εν τω τοπω τουτω και περι των μητερων αυτων των τετοκυιων αυτους και περι των πατερων αυτων των γεγεννηκοτων αυτους εν τη γη ταυτη

⁴ εν θανατω νοσερω αποθανουνται ου κοπησονται και ου ταφησονται εις παραδειγμα επι προσωπου της γης εσονται και τοις θηριοις της γης και τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου εν μαχαιρα πεσουνται και εν λιμω συντελεσθησονται

⁵ ταδε λεγει κυριος μη εισελθης εις θιασον αυτων και μη πορευθης του κοψασθαι και μη πενθησης αυτους οτι αφεστακα την ειρηνην μου απο του λαου τουτου

⁶ ου μη κοψωνται αυτους ουδε εντομιδας ου μη ποιησωσιν και ου ξυρησονται

⁷ και ου μη κλασθη αρτος εν πενθει αυτων εις παρακλησιν επι τεθνηκοτι ου ποτιουσιν αυτον ποτηριον εις παρακλησιν επι πατρι και μητρι αυτου

⁸ εις οικιαν ποτου ουκ εισελευση συγκαθισαι μετ' αυτων του φαγειν και πιειν

⁹ διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ιδου εγω καταλυω εκ του τοπου τουτου ενωπιον των οφθαλμων υμων και εν ταις ημεραις υμων φωνην χαρας και φωνην ευφροσυνης φωνην νυμφιου και φωνην νυμφης

¹⁰ και εσται οταν αναγγειλης τω λαω τουτω απαντα τα ρηματα ταυτα και ειπωσιν προς σε δια τι ελαλησεν κυριος εφ' ημας παντα τα κακα ταυτα τις η αδικια ημων και τις η αμαρτια ημων ην ημαρτομεν εναντι κυριου του θεου ημων

¹¹ και ερεις αυτοις ανθ' ων εγκατελιπον με οι πατερες υμων λεγει κυριος και ωχοντο οπισω θεων αλλοτριων και εδουλευσαν αυτοις και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και εμε εγκατελιπον και τον νομον μου ουκ εφυλαξαντο

¹² και υμεις επονηρευσασθε υπερ τους πατερας υμων και ιδου υμεις πορευεσθε εκαστος οπισω των αρεστων της καρδιας υμων της πονηρας του μη υπακουειν μου

¹³ και απορριψω υμας απο της γης ταυτης εις την γην ην ουκ ηδειτε υμεις και οι πατερες υμων και δουλευσετε εκει θεοις ετεροις οι ου δωσουσιν υμιν ελεος

¹⁴ δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και ουκ ερουσιν ετι ζη κυριος ο αναγαγων τους υιους ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου

¹⁵ αλλα ζη κυριος ος ανηγαγεν τον οικον ισραηλ απο γης βορρα και απο πασων των χωρων ου εξωσθησαν εκει και αποκαταστησω αυτους εις την γην αυτων ην εδωκα τοις πατρασιν αυτων

¹⁶ ιδου εγω αποστελλω τους αλεεις τους πολλους λεγει κυριος και αλιευσουσιν αυτους και μετα ταυτα αποστελω τους πολλους θηρευτας και θηρευσουσιν αυτους επανω παντος ορους και επανω παντος βουνου και εκ των τρυμαλιων των πετρων

¹⁷ οτι οι οφθαλμοι μου επι πασας τας οδους αυτων και ουκ εκρυβη τα αδικηματα αυτων απεναντι των οφθαλμων μου

¹⁸ και ανταποδωσω διπλας τας αδικιας αυτων και τας αμαρτιας αυτων εφ' αις εβεβηλωσαν την γην μου εν τοις θνησιμαιοις των βδελυγματων αυτων και εν ταις ανομιαις αυτων εν αις επλημμελησαν την κληρονομιαν μου

¹⁹ κυριε ισχυς μου και βοηθεια μου και καταφυγη μου εν ημερα κακων προς σε εθνη ηξουσιν απ' εσχατου της γης και ερουσιν ως ψευδη εκτησαντο οι πατερες ημων ειδωλα και ουκ εστιν εν αυτοις ωφελημα

²⁰ ει ποιησει εαυτω ανθρωπος θεους και ουτοι ουκ εισιν θεοι

²¹ δια τουτο ιδου εγω δηλωσω αυτοις εν τω καιρω τουτω την χειρα μου και γνωριω αυτοις την δυναμιν μου και γνωσονται οτι ονομα μοι κυριος

¹ Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

² by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁶ Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

⁷ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,

⁸ and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

¹¹ Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

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, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁴ If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

¹⁵ Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

¹⁶ For if the dead aren't raised, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁷ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

¹⁸ Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁹ If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

²⁰ But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

²¹ For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

²³ But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

²⁴ Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

²⁵ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁶ The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

²⁷ For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "all things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

²⁸ 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.

²⁹ Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren't raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

³⁰ Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

³¹ I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

³² If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

³³ Don't be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."

³⁴ Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

³⁵ But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"

³⁶ You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

³⁷ 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.

³⁸ But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

³⁹ 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.

⁴⁰ There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

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 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

⁴³ 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 also a spiritual body.

⁴⁵ So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁶ However that which is spiritual isn't first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁸ As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

⁴⁹ As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰ Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁵⁴ But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

⁵⁵ "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?"

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
