Erven Parallel Bible with Kjvp for 1corinthians 15 1

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to remember the Good News I told you about. You received that Good News message, and you continue to base your life on it.

2 It is that Good News that saves you, but you must continue believing the message just as I told it to you. If you don't, then you believed for nothing.

3 I gave you the message that I received. I told you the most important truths: that Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say;

4 that he was buried and was raised to life on the third day, as the Scriptures say;

5 and that he showed himself to Peter and then to the twelve apostles.

6 After that, Christ showed himself to more than 500 of the brothers and sisters at the same time. Most of them are still living today, but some have died.

7 Then he showed himself to James and later to all the apostles.

8 Last of all, he showed himself to me. I was different, like a baby born before the normal time.

9 All the other apostles are greater than I am. I say this because I persecuted the church of God. That is why I am not even good enough to be called an apostle.

10 But, because of God's grace, that is what I am. And his grace that he gave me was not wasted. I worked harder than all the other apostles. (But I was not really the one working. It was God's grace that was with me.)

11 So then it is not important if I told you God's message or if it was the other apostles who told you�we all tell people the same message, and this is what you believed.

12 We tell everyone that Christ was raised from death. So why do some of you say that people will not be raised from death?

13 If no one will ever be raised from death, then Christ has never been raised.

14 And if Christ has never been raised, then the message we tell is worth nothing. And your faith is worth nothing.

15 And we will also be guilty of lying about God, because we have told people about him, saying that he raised Christ from death. And if no one is raised from death, then God never raised Christ from death.

16 If those who have died are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.

17 And if Christ has not been raised from death, then your faith is for nothing; you are still guilty of your sins.

18 And those in Christ who have already died are lost.

19 If our hope in Christ is only for this life here on earth, then people should feel more sorry for us than for anyone else.

20 But Christ really has been raised from death�the first one of all those who will be raised.

21 Death comes to people because of what one man did. But now there is resurrection from death because of another man.

22 I mean that in Adam all of us die. And in the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again.

23 But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. Then, when Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life.

24 Then the end will come. Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers. Then he will give the kingdom to God the Father.

25 Christ must rule until God puts all enemies under his control.

26 The last enemy to be destroyed will be death.

27 As the Scriptures say, "God put everything under his control." When it says that "everything" is put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself. God is the one putting everything under Christ's control.

28 After everything has been put under Christ, then the Son himself will be put under God. God is the one who put everything under Christ. And Christ will be put under God so that God will be the complete ruler over everything.

29 If no one will ever be raised from death, then what will the people do who are baptized for those who have died? If the dead are never raised, then why are people baptized for them?

30 And what about us? Why do we put ourselves in danger every hour?

31 I face death every day. That is true, brothers and sisters, just as it is true that I am proud of what you are because of Christ Jesus our Lord.

32 I fought wild animals in Ephesus. If I did that only for human reasons, then I have gained nothing. If we are not raised from death, "Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we die."

33 Don't be fooled: "Bad friends will ruin good habits."

34 Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you don't know God. I say this to shame you.

35 But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?"

36 These are stupid questions. When you plant something, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow.

37 And when you plant something, what you plant does not have the same "body" that it will have later. What you plant is only a seed, maybe wheat or something else.

38 But God gives it the body that he has planned for it, and he gives each kind of seed its own body.

39 All things made of flesh are not the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have yet another kind.

40 Also there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the beauty of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is another.

41 The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon has another kind, and the stars have another. And each star is different in its beauty.

42 It will be the same when those who have died are raised to life. The body that is "planted" in the grave will ruin and decay, but it will be raised to a life that cannot be destroyed.

43 When the body is "planted," it is without honor. But when it is raised, it will be great and glorious. When the body is "planted," it is weak. But when it is raised, it will be full of power.

44 The body that is "planted" is a physical body. When it is raised, it will be a spiritual body. There is a physical body. So there is also a spiritual body.

45 As the Scriptures say, "The first man, Adam, became a living person. " But the last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

46 The spiritual man did not come first. It was the physical man that came first; then came the spiritual.

47 The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven.

48 All people belong to the earth. They are like that first man of earth. But those who belong to heaven are like that man of heaven.

49 We were made like that man of earth, so we will also be made like that man of heaven.

50 I tell you this, brothers and sisters: Our bodies of flesh and blood cannot have a part in God's kingdom. Something that will ruin cannot have a part in something that never ruins.

51 But listen, I tell you this secret: We will not all die, but we will all be changed.

52 It will only take the time of a second. We will be changed as quickly as an eye blinks. This will happen when the last trumpet blows. The trumpet will blow and those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we will all be changed.

53 This body that ruins must clothe itself with something that will never ruin. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that will never die.

54 So this body that ruins will clothe itself with that which never ruins. And this body that dies will clothe itself with that which never dies. When this happens, the Scriptures will be made true: "Death is swallowed in victory."

55 "O death, where is your victory? Where is your power to hurt?"

56 Death's power to hurt is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57 But we thank God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Don't let anything change you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord. You know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.

1 Moreover ^G1161 , brethren, ^G80 I declare ^G1107 unto you ^G5213 the ^G3588 gospel ^G2098 which ^G3739 I preached ^G2097 unto you, ^G5213 which ^G3739 also ^G2532 ye have received, ^G3880 and ^G2532 wherein ^G1722 ^G3739 ye stand; ^G2476

2 By ^G1223 which ^G3739 also ^G2532 ye are saved, ^G4982 if ^G1487 ye keep in memory ^G2722 what ^G5101 I ^G3056 preached ^G2097 unto you, ^G5213 unless ^G1622 ^G1508 ye have believed ^G4100 in vain. ^G1500

3 For ^G1063 I delivered ^G3860 unto you ^G5213 first of all ^G1722 ^G4413 that which ^G3739 I also ^G2532 received, ^G3880 how that ^G3754 Christ ^G5547 died ^G599 for ^G5228 our ^G2257 sins ^G266 according ^G2596 to the ^G3588 Scriptures; ^G1124

4 And ^G2532 that ^G3754 he was buried, ^G2290 and ^G2532 that ^G3754 he rose again ^G1453 the ^G3588 third ^G5154 day ^G2250 according ^G2596 to the ^G3588 Scriptures: ^G1124

5 And ^G2532 that ^G3754 he was seen ^G3700 of Cephas, ^G2786 then ^G1534 of the ^G3588 twelve: ^G1427

6 After that, ^G1899 he was seen ^G3700 of above ^G1883 five hundred ^G4001 brethren ^G80 at once; ^G2178 of ^G1537 whom ^G3739 the ^G3588 greater part ^G4119 remain ^G3306 unto ^G2193 this present, ^G737 but ^G1161 some ^G5100 are ^G2532 fallen asleep. ^G2837

7 After that, ^G1899 he was seen ^G3700 of James; ^G2385 then ^G1534 of all ^G3956 the ^G3588 apostles. ^G652

8 And ^G1161 last ^G2078 of all ^G3956 he was seen ^G3700 of me also, ^G2504 as ^G5619 of one born out of due time. ^G1626

9 For ^G1063 I ^G1473 am ^G1510 the ^G3588 least ^G1646 of the ^G3588 apostles, ^G652 that ^G3739 am ^G1510 not ^G3756 meet ^G2425 to be called ^G2564 an apostle, ^G652 because ^G1360 I persecuted ^G1377 the ^G3588 church ^G1577 of God. ^G2316

10 But ^G1161 by the grace ^G5485 of God ^G2316 I am ^G1510 what ^G3739 I am: ^G1510 and ^G2532 his ^G848 grace ^G5485 which ^G3588 was bestowed upon ^G1519 me ^G1691 was ^G1096 not ^G3756 in vain; ^G2756 but ^G235 I labored ^G2872 more abundantly ^G4054 than they ^G846 all: ^G3956 yet ^G1161 not ^G3756 I, ^G1473 but ^G235 the ^G3588 grace ^G5485 of God ^G2316 which ^G3588 was with ^G4862 me. ^G1698

11 Therefore ^G3767 whether ^G1535 it were I ^G1473 or they, ^G1565 so ^G3779 we preach, ^G2784 and ^G2532 so ^G3779 ye believed. ^G4100

12 Now ^G1161 if ^G1487 Christ ^G5547 be preached ^G2784 that ^G3754 he rose ^G1453 from ^G1537 the dead, ^G3498 how ^G4459 say ^G3004 some ^G5100 among ^G1722 you ^G5213 that ^G3754 there is ^G2076 no ^G3756 resurrection ^G386 of the dead ^G3498 ?

13 But ^G1161 if ^G1487 there be ^G2076 no ^G3756 resurrection ^G386 of the dead, ^G3498 then is Christ ^G5547 not ^G3761 risen: ^G1453

14 And ^G1161 if ^G1487 Christ ^G5547 be not ^G3756 risen, ^G1453 then ^G686 is our ^G2257 preaching ^G2782 vain, ^G2756 and ^G1161 your ^G5216 faith ^G4102 is also ^G2532 vain. ^G2756

15 Yea ^G1161 , and ^G2532 we are found ^G2147 false witnesses ^G5575 of God; ^G2316 because ^G3754 we have testified ^G3140 of ^G2596 God ^G2316 that ^G3754 he raised up ^G1453 Christ: ^G5547 whom ^G3739 he raised not up ^G1453 ^G3756 , if so be that ^G1512 ^G686 the dead ^G3498 rise ^G1453 not. ^G3756

16 For ^G1063 if ^G1487 the dead ^G3498 rise ^G1453 not, ^G3756 then is not ^G3761 Christ ^G5547 raised: ^G1453

17 And ^G1161 if ^G1487 Christ ^G5547 be not ^G3756 raised, ^G1453 your ^G5216 faith ^G4102 is vain; ^G3152 ye are ^G2075 yet ^G2089 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 sins. ^G266

18 Then ^G686 they also which are fallen asleep ^G2837 ^G2532 in ^G1722 Christ ^G5547 are perished. ^G622

19 If ^G1487 in ^G1722 this ^G5026 life ^G2222 only ^G3440 we have ^G2070 hope ^G1679 in ^G1722 Christ, ^G5547 we are ^G2070 of all ^G3956 men ^G444 most miserable. ^G1652

20 But ^G1161 now ^G3570 is Christ ^G5547 risen ^G1453 from ^G1537 the dead, ^G3498 and become ^G1096 the firstfruits ^G536 of them that slept. ^G2837

21 For ^G1063 since ^G1894 by ^G1223 man ^G444 came death, ^G2288 by ^G1223 man ^G444 came also ^G2532 the resurrection ^G386 of the dead. ^G3498

22 For ^G1063 as ^G5618 in ^G1722 Adam ^G76 all ^G3956 die, ^G599 even ^G2532 so ^G3779 in ^G1722 Christ ^G5547 shall all ^G3956 be made alive. ^G2227

23 But ^G1161 every man ^G1538 in ^G1722 his own ^G2398 order: ^G5001 Christ ^G5547 the firstfruits; ^G536 afterward ^G1899 they ^G3588 that are Christ's ^G5547 at ^G1722 his ^G848 coming. ^G3952

24 Then ^G1534 cometh the ^G3588 end, ^G5056 when ^G3752 he shall have delivered up ^G3860 the ^G3588 kingdom ^G932 to God, ^G2316 even ^G2532 the Father; ^G3962 when ^G3752 he shall have put down ^G2673 all ^G3956 rule ^G746 and ^G2532 all ^G3956 authority ^G1849 and ^G2532 power. ^G1411

25 For ^G1063 he ^G846 must ^G1163 reign, ^G936 till ^G891 ^G3757 he hath put ^G5087 all ^G3956 enemies ^G2190 under ^G5259 his ^G848 feet. ^G4228

26 The last ^G2078 enemy ^G2190 that shall be destroyed ^G2673 is death. ^G2288

27 For ^G1063 he hath put ^G5293 all things ^G3956 under ^G5259 his ^G848 feet. ^G4228 But ^G1161 when ^G3752 he saith ^G2036 ^G3754 all things ^G3956 are put under ^G5293 him, it is manifest ^G1212 that ^G3754 he is excepted, ^G1622 which did put all things under ^G5293 ^G3956 him. ^G846

28 And ^G1161 when ^G3752 all things ^G3956 shall be subdued unto ^G5293 him, ^G846 then ^G5119 shall the ^G3588 Son ^G5207 also ^G2532 himself ^G848 be subject ^G5293 unto him that put all things under ^G5293 ^G3956 him, ^G846 that ^G2443 God ^G2316 may be ^G5600 all ^G3956 in ^G1722 all. ^G3956

29 Else ^G1893 what ^G5101 shall they do ^G4160 which are baptized ^G907 for ^G5228 the ^G3588 dead, ^G3498 if ^G1487 the dead ^G3498 rise ^G1453 not ^G3756 at all ^G3654 ? why ^G5101 are they then ^G2532 baptized ^G907 for ^G5228 the ^G3588 dead ^G3498 ?

30 And ^G2532 why ^G5101 stand we in jeopardy ^G2793 ^G2249 every ^G3956 hour ^G5610 ?

31 I protest ^G3513 by your ^G2251 rejoicing ^G2746 which ^G3739 I have ^G2192 in ^G1722 Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 our ^G2257 Lord, ^G2962 I die ^G599 daily ^G2596 ^G2250 .

32 If ^G1487 after the manner ^G2596 of men ^G444 I have fought with beasts ^G2341 at ^G1722 Ephesus, ^G2181 what ^G5101 advantageth ^G3786 it me, ^G3427 if ^G1487 the dead ^G3498 rise ^G1453 not ^G3756 ? let us eat ^G5315 and ^G2532 drink; ^G4095 for ^G1063 tomorrow ^G839 we die. ^G599

33 Be not ^G3361 deceived: ^G4105 evil ^G2556 communications ^G3657 corrupt ^G5351 good ^G5543 manners. ^G2239

34 Awake ^G1594 to righteousness, ^G1346 and ^G2532 sin ^G264 not; ^G3361 for ^G1063 some ^G5100 have not the knowledge ^G2192 ^G56 of God: ^G2316 I speak ^G3004 this to ^G4314 your ^G5213 shame. ^G1791

35 But ^G235 some ^G5100 man will say, ^G2046 How ^G4459 are the ^G3588 dead ^G3498 raised up ^G1453 ? and ^G1161 with what ^G4169 body ^G4983 do they come ^G2064 ?

36 Thou fool, ^G878 that which ^G3739 thou ^G4771 sowest ^G4687 is not ^G3756 quickened, ^G2227 except ^G3362 it die: ^G599

37 And ^G2532 that which ^G3739 thou sowest, ^G4687 thou sowest ^G4687 not ^G3756 that body ^G4983 that shall be, ^G1096 but ^G235 bare ^G1131 grain ^G2848 ^G1487 , it may chance ^G5177 of wheat, ^G4621 or ^G2228 of some ^G5100 other ^G3062 grain :

38 But ^G1161 God ^G2316 giveth ^G1325 it ^G846 a body ^G4983 as ^G2531 it hath pleased ^G2309 him, and ^G2532 to every ^G1538 seed ^G4690 his own ^G2398 body. ^G4983

39 All ^G3956 flesh ^G4561 is not ^G3756 the ^G3588 same ^G846 flesh: ^G4561 but ^G235 there is one ^G243 kind ^G3303 of flesh ^G4561 of men ^G444 ^G1161 , another ^G243 flesh ^G4561 of beasts ^G2934 ^G1161 , another ^G243 of fishes, ^G2486 and ^G1161 another ^G243 of birds. ^G4421

40 There are also ^G2532 celestial ^G2032 bodies, ^G4983 and ^G2532 bodies ^G4983 terrestrial: ^G1919 but ^G235 the ^G3588 glory ^G1391 of the ^G3588 celestial ^G2032 is ^G3303 one, ^G2087 and ^G1161 the ^G3588 glory of the ^G3588 terrestrial ^G1919 is another. ^G2087

41 There is one ^G243 glory ^G1391 of the sun, ^G2246 and ^G2532 another ^G243 glory ^G1391 of the moon, ^G4582 and ^G2532 another ^G243 glory ^G1391 of the stars: ^G792 for ^G1063 one star ^G792 differeth from ^G1308 another star ^G792 in ^G1722 glory. ^G1391

42 So ^G3779 also ^G2532 is the ^G3588 resurrection ^G386 of the ^G3588 dead. ^G3498 It is sown ^G4687 in ^G1722 corruption; ^G5356 it is raised ^G1453 in ^G1722 incorruption: ^G861

43 It is sown ^G4687 in ^G1722 dishonor; ^G819 it is raised ^G1453 in ^G1722 glory: ^G1391 it is sown ^G4687 in ^G1722 weakness; ^G769 it is raised ^G1453 in ^G1722 power: ^G1411

44 It is sown ^G4687 a natural ^G5591 body; ^G4983 it is raised ^G1453 a spiritual ^G4152 body. ^G4983 There is ^G2076 a natural ^G5591 body, ^G4983 and ^G2532 there is ^G2076 a spiritual ^G4152 body. ^G4983

45 And ^G2532 so ^G3779 it is written, ^G1125 The ^G3588 first ^G4413 man ^G444 Adam ^G76 was made ^G1096 a ^G1519 living ^G2198 soul; ^G5590 the ^G3588 last ^G2078 Adam ^G76 was made ^G1519 a quickening ^G2227 spirit. ^G4151

46 Howbeit ^G235 that was not ^G3756 first ^G4412 which is spiritual, ^G4152 but ^G235 that which is natural; ^G5591 and afterward ^G1899 that which is spiritual. ^G4152

47 The ^G3588 first ^G4413 man ^G444 is of ^G1537 the earth, ^G1093 earthy: ^G5517 the ^G3588 second ^G1208 man ^G444 is the ^G3588 Lord ^G2962 from ^G1537 heaven. ^G3772

48 As ^G3634 is the ^G3588 earthy, ^G5517 such ^G5108 are they also that are earthy ^G5517 ^G2532 : and ^G2532 as ^G3634 is the ^G3588 heavenly, ^G2032 such ^G5108 are they also that are heavenly ^G2032 ^G2532 .

49 And ^G2532 as ^G2531 we have borne ^G5409 the ^G3588 image ^G1504 of the ^G3588 earthy, ^G5517 we shall also ^G2532 bear ^G5409 the ^G3588 image ^G1504 of the ^G3588 heavenly. ^G2032

50 Now ^G1161 this ^G5124 I say, ^G5346 brethren, ^G80 that ^G3754 flesh ^G4561 and ^G2532 blood ^G129 cannot ^G1410 ^G3756 inherit ^G2816 the kingdom ^G932 of God; ^G2316 neither ^G3761 doth corruption ^G5356 inherit ^G2816 incorruption. ^G861

51 Behold ^G2400 , I show ^G3004 you ^G5213 a mystery; ^G3466 We shall not ^G3756 all ^G3956 sleep, ^G2837 but ^G1161 we shall all ^G3956 be changed, ^G236

52 In ^G1722 a moment, ^G823 in ^G1722 the twinkling ^G4493 of an eye, ^G3788 at ^G1722 the ^G3588 last ^G2078 trump: ^G4536 for ^G1063 the trumpet shall sound, ^G4537 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 dead ^G3498 shall be raised ^G1453 incorruptible, ^G862 and ^G2532 we ^G2249 shall be changed. ^G236

53 For ^G1063 this ^G5124 corruptible ^G5349 must ^G1163 put on ^G1746 incorruption, ^G861 and ^G2532 this ^G5124 mortal ^G2349 must put on ^G1746 immortality. ^G110

54 So ^G1161 when ^G3752 this ^G5124 corruptible ^G5349 shall have put on ^G1746 incorruption, ^G861 and ^G2532 this ^G5124 mortal ^G2349 shall have put on ^G1746 immortality, ^G110 then ^G5119 shall be brought to pass ^G1096 the ^G3588 saying ^G3056 that is written, ^G1125 Death ^G2288 is swallowed up ^G2666 in ^G1519 victory. ^G3534

55 O death, ^G2288 where ^G4226 is thy ^G4675 sting ^G2759 ? O grave, ^G86 where ^G4226 is thy ^G4675 victory ^G3534 ?

56 ^G1161 The ^G3588 sting ^G2759 of death ^G2288 is sin; ^G266 and ^G1161 the ^G3588 strength ^G1411 of sin ^G266 is the ^G3588 law. ^G3551

57 But ^G1161 thanks ^G5485 be to God, ^G2316 which giveth ^G1325 us ^G2254 the ^G3588 victory ^G3534 through ^G1223 our ^G2257 Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ. ^G5547

58 Therefore ^G5620 , my ^G3450 beloved ^G27 brethren, ^G80 be ^G1096 ye steadfast, ^G1476 unmovable, ^G277 always ^G3842 abounding ^G4052 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 work ^G2041 of the ^G3588 Lord, ^G2962 forasmuch as ye know ^G1492 that ^G3754 your ^G5216 labor ^G2873 is ^G2076 not ^G3756 in vain ^G2756 in ^G1722 the Lord. ^G2962
