¹But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,

¹¶ Na, me whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou, e oku teina, te rongopai i kauwhautia e ahau ki a koutou, ta koutou hoki i whakaae na, ta koutou hoki e tu na,

²by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.

²Te mea hoki e ora na koutou; ka whakaatu ahau ki a koutou i nga kupu i kauwhau ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te mau tera i a koutou, ki te mea ehara to koutou i te whakapono noa.

³For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

³I hoatu na hoki e ahau ki a koutou i te tuatahi te mea i riro mai i ahau, ara i mate a te Karaiti mo o tatou hara, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;

⁴and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;

⁴A i tanumia; a i ara ake ano i te toru o nga ra, i pera me ta nga karaipiture;

⁵and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁵A ka whakakite ki a Kipa; muri iho ki te tekau ma rua;

⁶Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.

⁶Muri iho ka whakakite ki nga hoa tokomaha ake i te rima rau i te kitenga kotahi, e ora nei ano te nuinga o ratou, ko etahi ia kua moe;

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

⁷Muri iho ka whakakite ki a Hemi; muri iho ki nga apotoro katoa;

⁸and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.

⁸A muri rawa iho ka whakakite hoki ia ki ahau, me te mea i whanau tomuri nei ahau.

⁹For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.

⁹Ko te iti rawa hoki ahau o nga apotoro, kahore e tau kia kiia he apotoro, moku i whakatoi i te hahi a te Atua.

¹⁰But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not *I*, but the grace of God which [was] with me.

¹⁰Heoi na te aroha noa o te Atua tenei ahua oku: kihai ano tona aroha noa ki ahau i maumauria; heoi nui atu taku mahi i ta ratou katoa: ehara ia i te mea naku, engari na te aroha noa o te Atua i mahi tahi me ahau.

¹¹Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.

¹¹Na, ahakoa naku, ahakoa na ratou, ko ta matou kauwhau tenei, ko ta koutou ano tenei i whakapono ai.

¹²Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?

¹²¶ Na, e kauwhautia nei a te Karaiti, tona aranga ake i te hunga mate, he pehea te kupu a etahi o koutou, kahore he aranga ake o te hunga mate?

¹³But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:

¹³Mehemea hoki kahore he aranga o te hunga mate, kihai ano a te Karaiti i ara.

¹⁴but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.

¹⁴Mehemea hoki kahore a te Karaiti i ara, maumau noa ta matou kauwhau, maumau noa to koutou whakapono.

¹⁵And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.

¹⁵Ae ra, ka kitea hoki matou he kaiwhakaatu teka i ta te Atua; no te mea ka whakaaturia nei e matou te Atua, nana i whakaara ake a te Karaiti; kihai nei i whakaarahia e ia, ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara.

¹⁶For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

¹⁶Ki te kahore hoki te hunga mate e whakaarahia, kihai ano a te Karaiti i whakaarahia:

¹⁷but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.

¹⁷A mehema kahore a te Karaiti i ara, he mea hanga noa to koutou whakapono; kei roto tonu koutou i o koutou hara.

¹⁸Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁸Me te hunga hoki kua moe atu i roto i a te Karaiti, kua ngaro ratou.

¹⁹If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.

¹⁹Ki te mea hei tenei ao anake he tumanako ma tatou ki a te Karaiti, nui atu te pouri mo tatou i o nga tangata katoa.

²⁰(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.

²⁰¶ Ko tenei kua ara a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, kua waiho hei matamua mo te hunga kua moe.

²¹For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.

²¹Na te tangata nei hoki te mate, waihoki na te tangata te aranga o te hunga mate.

²²For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.

²²I roto hoki i a Arama ka mate katoa nga tangata, waihoki i roto i a te Karaiti ka whakaorangia katoatia.

²³But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.

²³Otiia ko tenei, ko tenei, i tona ake turanga; ko te Karaiti te matamua; muri iho ko te hunga a te Karaiti a tona haerenga mai.

²⁴Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

²⁴Ko reira te mutunga, ina oti te rangatiratanga te hoatu e ia ki te Atua, ara ki te Matua; ina memeha i a ia nga kawanatanga katoa, nga mana katoa, me te kaha.

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

²⁵Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kingi ia, kia meinga katoatia ra ano e ia ona hoariri ki raro i ona waewae.

²⁶[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.

²⁶Ko te hoariri whakamutunga e whakakahoretia ko te mate.

²⁷For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.

²⁷No te mea, ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i ona waewae. Otira i tana kianga, Ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi ki raro i a ia; e marama ana kua waiho i waho te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia.

²⁸But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

²⁸A ka oti nga mea katoa te pehi e ia ki raro i a ia, ko reira hoki te Tama riro ai ki raro i te kaipehi o nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia, kia katoa ai te Atua i roto i te katoa.

²⁹Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

²⁹Penei ka aha te hunga e iriiria ana hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate? Ki te kahore rawa te hunga mate e ara, he aha hoki ratou ka iriiria ai hei whakakapi mo te hunga mate?

³⁰Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?

³⁰He aha ano tatou ka tu wehi ai i nga wa katoa?

³¹Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³¹Na koa taku oati, na toku whakamanamana ki a koutou, e oku teina, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ina mo te mate ahau i ia ra, i ia ra.

³²If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

³²Ha, mehemea ahau i whawhai ki te kararehe i Epeha, pera ana me te tangata, he aha te pai ki ahau? Ki te kahore te hunga mate e ara, e kai tatou, e inu, ko apopo hoki tatou mate ai.

³³Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

³³Kei whakapohehetia koutou: Ki te kino nga hoa, ka heke ki te kino nga tikanga pai.

³⁴Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

³⁴Oho ake ki te tika, a kaua e hara; kahore hoki o etahi matauranga ki te Atua: i korero ai ahau kia whakama ai koutou.

³⁵But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?

³⁵¶ Otira tera tetahi e ki mai, peheatia ai te whakaarahanga o te hunga mate? he tinana aha hoki to ratou ina haere mai?

³⁶Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.

³⁶Kuware! ko tau e whakato na, e kore e puta ki te ora, ki te kahore e mate:

³⁷And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:

³⁷A ko tau e whakato na, ehara i te tinana e puta ake a mua tau e whakato na, engari he kakano kau no te witi ranei, no tetahi atu mea ranei:

³⁸and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.

³⁸E hoatu ana hoki e te Atua ki taua kakano he tinana, ko tana i pai ai, a ki tenei kakano, ki tenei kakano, tona ake tinana.

³⁹Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.

³⁹Ehara i te kikokiko kotahi nga kikokiko katoa: engari tera ano to te tangata kikokiko, a rere ke ano to te kararehe kikokiko, rere ke to te manu, rere ke to te ika.

⁴⁰And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:

⁴⁰Ko etahi tinana no te rangi, ko etahi tinana no te whenua: otiia rere ke te kororia o nga mea o te rangi, rere ke to nga mea o te whenua.

⁴¹one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.

⁴¹He kororia ke to te ra, he kororia ke to te marama, he kororia ke hoki to nga whetu: na poka ke te kororia o tetahi whetu i to tetahi whetu.

⁴²Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.

⁴²He pera ano te aranga o te hunga mate. E whakatokia pirautia ana; e whakaarahia piraukoretia ana:

⁴³It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

⁴³E whakatokia honorekoretia ana; e whakaarahia kororiatia ana: e whakatokia ngoikoretia ana; e whakaarahia kahatia ana:

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].

⁴⁴E whakatokia ana he tinana maori; e whakaarahia ana he tinana wairua. Mehemea tera he tinana maori, tera ano hoki he tinana wairua.

⁴⁵Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

⁴⁵He penei hoki te mea i tuhituhia, Ko te tangata tuatahi, ko Arama, i meinga hei tangata ora; ko te Arama whakamutunga ka waiho hei wairua whakaora.

⁴⁶But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:

⁴⁶He ahakoa ra ehara te mea wairua i te tuatahi, engari te mea maori; no muri te mea wairua.

⁴⁷the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.

⁴⁷Ko te tangata tuatahi no te whenua, he mea oneone: ko te tangata tuarua no te rangi.

⁴⁸Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].

⁴⁸Ko nga mea oneone rite tonu ki te mea oneone; ko nga mea o te rangi rite tonu ki te mea o te rangi.

⁴⁹And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].

⁴⁹Na, kua mau nei ki a tatou te ahua o te mea oneone, waihoki ka mau ano ki a tatou te ahua o to te rangi.

⁵⁰But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.

⁵⁰Ko taku korero tenei, e oku teina, e kore e tau kia riro te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kikokiko, i te toto; e kore ano te piraukore e riro i te pirau.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

⁵¹¶ Na, he mea huna tenei ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou. E kore tatou katoa e moe, engari e whakaahuatia ketia tatou katoa;

⁵²in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *we* shall be changed.

⁵²E kore e aha, kimo kau te kanohi, i te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere whakamutunga: e tangi hoki te tetere, a e whakaarahia nga tupapaku, he mea piraukore, a ka whakaahuatia ketia tatou.

⁵³For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.

⁵³Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kakahuria te piraukore e tenei pirau, kia kakahuria hoki te matekore e tenei hanga matemate nei.

⁵⁴But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁴Heoi ka oti tenei pirau te whakakakahu ki te piraukore, me tenei hanga matemate nei te whakakakahu ki te matekore, ko reira rite ai te korero i tuhituhia, horomia ake te mate e te wikitoria.

⁵⁵Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?

⁵⁵E te mate kei hea tou wero? E te reinga kei hea tou wikitoria?

⁵⁶Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;

⁵⁶Ko te hara to te mate wero; na te ture hoki i kaha ai te hara:

⁵⁷but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁷Ki te Atua ia te whakawhetai, nana nei i homai te wikitoria ki a tatou, he meatanga na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti.

⁵⁸So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.

⁵⁸¶ Heoi, e oku teina aroha, kia u, kei taea te whakakorikori, kia hira te mahi ki te Ariki i nga wa katoa, e matau ana hoki koutou, ehara i te maumau to koutou mauiui i roto i te Ariki.
