1 Corinthians 15:9-19

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

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

10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and the grace that he gave me was not without effect. On the contrary, I have worked harder than any of the other apostles, although it was not really my own doing, but God's grace working with me.

11 So then, whether it came from me or from them, this is what we all preach, and this is what you believe.

12 Now, since our message is that Christ has been raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life?

13 If that is true, it means that Christ was not raised;

14 and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.

15 More than that, we are shown to be lying about God, because we said that he raised Christ from death - but if it is true that the dead are not raised to life, then he did not raise Christ.

16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is a delusion and you are still lost in your sins.

18 It would also mean that the believers in Christ who have died are lost.

19 If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world.

New International Version NIV

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.
