{1 Cor 15:58}

v.58
Now I want to remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
and by which you are being saved—if you hold fast to the word I preached to you. Otherwise you have believed in vain.
For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
Whether it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is empty and your faith is empty as well.
More than that, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
If it is only for this life that we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ.
Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
For "God has put everything under his feet." But when it says that everything has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything under him.
And when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.
Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
And why do we ourselves face danger every hour?
I die every day—I mean it, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with merely human hopes, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good character."
Come to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"
You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed—perhaps of wheat or something else.
But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.
Not all flesh is the same: humans have one kind, animals another, birds another, and fish another.
There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly is another.
The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. It is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
But it is not the spiritual that comes first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
The first man was from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.
As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.
And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
I declare to you, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
When this perishable has put on the imperishable, and this mortal has put on immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
