1 Corinthians 15:1-34

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,

2 By which you have salvation; that is to say, the form in which it was given to you, if it is fixed in your minds, and if your faith in it is not without effect.

3 For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

4 And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

5 And he was seen by Cephas; then by the twelve;

6 Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

7 Then he was seen by James; then by all the Apostles.

8 And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

9 For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 If then it is I who am the preacher, or they, this is our word, and to this you have given your faith.

12 Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

13 But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

14 And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

15 Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

16 For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

17 And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.

18 And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction.

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

20 But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

21 For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.

22 For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

23 But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

24 Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.

25 For his rule will go on till he has put all those who are against him under his feet.

26 The last power to come to an end is death.

27 For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him.

28 And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

29 Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?

30 And why are we in danger every hour?

31 Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

32 If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

33 Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.

34 Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

New International Version NIV

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : 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, and then to the Twelve.

6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

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

8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

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

12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.

16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.

17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

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

23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.

24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

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

26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

31 I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
