1 Corinthians 15:1-34

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Brothers and sisters, I'm making known to you the Good News which I already told you, which you received, and on which your faith is based.

2 In addition, you are saved by this Good News if you hold on to the doctrine I taught you, unless you believed it without thinking it over.

3 I passed on to you the most important points of doctrine that I had received: Christ died to take away our sins as the Scriptures predicted.

4 He was placed in a tomb. He was brought back to life on the third day as the Scriptures predicted.

5 He appeared to Cephas. Next he appeared to the twelve apostles.

6 Then he appeared to more than 500 believers at one time. (Most of these people are still living, but some have died.)

7 Next he appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.

8 Last of all, he also appeared to me. I'm like an aborted fetus [who was given life].

9 I'm the least of the apostles. I'm not even fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted God's church.

10 But God's kindness made me what I am, and that kindness was not wasted on me. Instead, I worked harder than all the others. It was not I who did it, but God's kindness was with me.

11 So, whether it was I or someone else, this is the message we brought you, and this is what you believed.

12 If we have told you that Christ has been brought back to life, how can some of you say that coming back from the dead is impossible?

13 If the dead can't be brought back to life, then Christ hasn't come back to life.

14 If Christ hasn't come back to life, our message has no meaning and your faith also has no meaning.

15 In addition, we are obviously witnesses who lied about God because we testified that he brought Christ back to life. But if it's true that the dead don't come back to life, then God didn't bring Christ back to life.

16 Certainly, if the dead don't come back to life, then Christ hasn't come back to life either.

17 If Christ hasn't come back to life, your faith is worthless and sin still has you in its power.

18 Then those who have died as believers in Christ no longer exist.

19 If Christ is our hope in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

20 But now Christ has come back from the dead. He is the very first person of those who have died to come back to life.

21 Since a man brought death, a man also brought life back from death.

22 As everyone dies because of Adam, so also everyone will be made alive because of Christ.

23 This will happen to each person in his own turn. Christ is the first, then at his coming, those who belong to him [will be made alive].

24 Then the end will come. Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father as he destroys every ruler, authority, and power.

25 Christ must rule until God has put every enemy under his control.

26 The last enemy he will destroy is death.

27 Clearly, God has put everything under Christ's authority. When God says that everything has been put under Christ's authority, this clearly excludes God, since God has put everything under Christ's authority.

28 But when God puts everything under Christ's authority, the Son will put himself under God's authority, since God had put everything under the Son's authority. Then God will be in control of everything.

29 However, people are baptized because the dead [will come back to life]. What will they do? If the dead can't come back to life, why do people get baptized as if they can [come back to life]?

30 Why are we constantly putting ourselves in danger?

31 Brothers and sisters, I swear to you on my pride in you which Christ Jesus our Lord has given me: I face death every day.

32 If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus, what have I gained according to the way people look at things? If the dead are not raised, "Let's eat and drink because tomorrow we're going to die!"

33 Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people.

34 Come back to the right point of view, and stop sinning. Some people don't know anything about God. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

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.
