¹[] Σας φανερονω δε, αδελφοι, το ευαγγελιον, το οποιον εκηρυξα προς εσας, το οποιον και παρελαβετε, εις το οποιον και ιστασθε,

¹Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

²δια του οποιου και σωζεσθε, τινι τροπω σας εκηρυξα αυτο, αν φυλαττητε αυτο, εκτος εαν επιστευσατε ματαιως.

²by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

³Διοτι παρεδωκα εις εσας εν πρωτοις εκεινο, το οποιον και παρελαβον, οτι ο Χριστος απεθανε δια τας αμαρτιας ημων κατα τας γραφας,

³For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

⁴και οτι εταφη, και οτι ανεστη την τριτην ημεραν κατα τας γραφας,

⁴that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁵και οτι εφανη εις τον Κηφαν, επειτα εις τους δωδεκα·

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

⁶μετα ταυτα εφανη εις πεντακοσιους και επεκεινα αδελφους δια μιας, εκ των οποιων οι πλειοτεροι μενουσιν εως τωρα, τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν·

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

⁷επειτα εφανη εις τον Ιακωβον, επειτα εις παντας τους αποστολους·

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

⁸τελευταιον δε παντων εφανη και εις εμε ως εις εκτρωμα.

⁸and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

⁹Διοτι εγω ειμαι ο ελαχιστος των αποστολων, οστις δεν ειμαι αξιος να ονομαζωμαι αποστολος, διοτι κατεδιωξα την εκκλησιαν του Θεου·

⁹For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

¹⁰αλλα χαριτι Θεου ειμαι οτι ειμαι· και η εις εμε χαρις αυτου δεν εγεινε ματαια, αλλα περισσοτερον αυτων παντων εκοπιασα, πλην ουχι εγω, αλλ' η χαρις του Θεου η μετ' εμου.

¹⁰But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

¹¹Ειτε λοιπον εγω ειτε εκεινοι, ουτω κηρυττομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε.

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

¹²[] Εαν δε ο Χριστος κηρυττηται οτι ανεστη εκ νεκρων, πως τινες μεταξυ σας λεγουσιν οτι αναστασις νεκρων δεν ειναι;

¹²Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³Και εαν αναστασις νεκρων δεν ηναι, ουδ' ο Χριστος ανεστη·

¹³But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁴και αν ο Χριστος δεν ανεστη, ματαιον αρα ειναι το κηρυγμα ημων, ματαια δε και η πιστις σας.

¹⁴If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

¹⁵Ευρισκομεθα δε και ψευδομαρτυρες του Θεου, διοτι εμαρτυρησαμεν περι του Θεου οτι ανεστησε τον Χριστον, τον οποιον δεν ανεστησεν, εαν καθ' υποθεσιν δεν ανασταινωνται νεκροι.

¹⁵Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

¹⁶Διοτι εαν δεν ανασταινωνται νεκροι, ουδ' ο Χριστος ανεστη·

¹⁶For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁷αλλ' εαν ο Χριστος δεν ανεστη, ματαια η πιστις σας· ετι εισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων.

¹⁷If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

¹⁸Αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν Χριστω απωλεσθησαν.

¹⁸Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁹Εαν εν ταυτη τη ζωη μονον ελπιζωμεν εις τον Χριστον, ειμεθα ελεεινοτεροι παντων των ανθρωπων.

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

²⁰[] Αλλα τωρα ο Χριστος ανεστη εκ νεκρων, εγεινεν απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων.

²⁰But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

²¹Διοτι επειδη ο θανατος ηλθε δι' ανθρωπου, ουτω και δι' ανθρωπου η αναστασις των νεκρων.

²¹For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

²²Επειδη καθως παντες αποθνησκουσιν εν τω Αδαμ, ουτω και παντες θελουσι ζωοποιηθη εν τω Χριστω.

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

²³Εκαστος ομως κατα την ιδιαν αυτου ταξιν· ο Χριστος ειναι η απαρχη, επειτα οσοι ειναι του Χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου·

²³But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

²⁴Υστερον θελει εισθαι το τελος, οταν παραδωση την βασιλειαν εις τον Θεον και Πατερα, οταν καταργηση πασαν αρχην και πασαν εξουσιαν και δυναμιν.

²⁴Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

²⁵Διοτι πρεπει να βασιλευη εωσου θεση παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου.

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

²⁶Εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος·

²⁶The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

²⁷διοτι παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου. Οταν δε ειπη οτι παντα ειναι υποτεταγμενα, φανερον οτι εξαιρειται ο υποταξας εις αυτον τα παντα.

²⁷For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” Psalm 8:6 But when he says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

²⁸Οταν δε υποταχθωσιν εις αυτον τα παντα, τοτε και αυτος ο Υιος θελει υποταχθη εις τον υποταξαντα εις αυτον τα παντα, δια να ηναι ο Θεος τα παντα εν πασιν.

²⁸When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

²⁹Επειδη τι θελουσι καμει οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων, εαν τωοντι οι νεκροι δεν ανασταινωνται, δια τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων;

²⁹Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

³⁰δια τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν;

³⁰Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

³¹Καθ' ημεραν αποθνησκω, μα την εις εσας καυχησιν μου, την οποιαν εχω εν Χριστω Ιησου τω Κυριω ημων.

³¹I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

³²Εαν κατα ανθρωπον επολεμησα με θηρια εν Εφεσω, τι το οφελος εις εμε; αν οι νεκροι δεν ανασταινωνται, ας φαγωμεν και ας πιωμεν, διοτι αυριον αποθνησκομεν.

³²If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” Isaiah 22:13

³³Μη πλανασθε· Φθειρουσι τα καλα ηθη αι κακαι συναναστροφαι.

³³Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

³⁴Συνελθετε εις εαυτους κατα το δικαιον και μη αμαρτανετε· διοτι τινες εχουσιν αγνωσιαν Θεου· προς εντροπην σας λεγω τουτο.

³⁴Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

³⁵[] Αλλα θελει τις ειπει· Πως ανασταινονται οι νεκροι; και με ποιον σωμα ερχονται;

³⁵But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

³⁶Αφρον, εκεινο το οποιον συ σπειρεις, δεν ζωογονειται εαν δεν αποθανη·

³⁶You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

³⁷και εκεινο το οποιον σπειρεις, δεν σπειρεις το σωμα το οποιον μελλει να γεινη, αλλα γυμνον κοκκον, σιτου τυχον η τινος των λοιπων.

³⁷That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

³⁸Ο δε Θεος διδει εις αυτο σωμα καθως ηθελησε, και εις εκαστον των σπερματων το ιδιαιτερον αυτου σωμα.

³⁸But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

³⁹Πασα σαρξ δεν ειναι η αυτη σαρξ, αλλα αλλη μεν σαρξ των ανθρωπων, αλλη δε σαρξ των κτηνων, αλλη δε των ιχθυων και αλλη των πτηνων.

³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

⁴⁰Ειναι και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια· πλην αλλη μεν η δοξα των επουρανιων, αλλη δε η των επιγειων.

⁴⁰There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

⁴¹Αλλη δοξα ειναι του ηλιου, και αλλη δοξα της σεληνης, και αλλη δοξα των αστερων· διοτι αστηρ διαφερει αστερος κατα την δοξαν.

⁴¹There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

⁴²Ουτω και η αναστασις των νεκρων. Σπειρεται εν φθορα, ανισταται εν αφθαρσια·

⁴²So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

⁴³σπειρεται εν ατιμια, ανισταται εν δοξη· σπειρεται εν ασθενεια, ανισταται εν δυναμει·

⁴³It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

⁴⁴σπειρεται σωμα ζωικον, ανισταται σωμα πνευματικον. Ειναι σωμα ζωικον, και ειναι σωμα πνευματικον.

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

⁴⁵Ουτως ειναι και γεγραμμενον· Ο πρωτος ανθρωπος Αδαμ εγεινεν εις ψυχην ζωσαν· ο εσχατος Αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν.

⁴⁵So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁶Πλην ουχι πρωτον το πνευματικον, αλλα το ζωικον, επειτα το πνευματικον.

⁴⁶However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷Ο πρωτος ανθρωπος ειναι εκ της γης χοικος, ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο Κυριος εξ ουρανου.

⁴⁷The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁸Οποιος ο χοικος, τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι, και οποιος ο επουρανιος, τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι·

⁴⁸As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

⁴⁹και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου, θελομεν φορεσει και την εικονα του επουρανιου.

⁴⁹As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s NU, TR read “we will” instead of “let’s” also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Τουτο δε λεγω, αδελφοι, οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν Θεου δεν δυνανται να κληρονομησωσιν, ουδε η φθορα κληρονομει την αφθαρσιαν.

⁵⁰Now I say this, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that flesh and blood can’t inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵¹[] Ιδου, μυστηριον λεγω προς εσας· παντες μεν δεν θελομεν κοιμηθη, παντες ομως θελομεν μεταμορφωθη,

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

⁵²εν μια στιγμη, εν ριπη οφθαλμου, εν τη εσχατη σαλπιγγι· διοτι θελει σαλπισει, και οι νεκροι θελουσιν αναστηθη αφθαρτοι, και ημεις θελομεν μεταμορφωθη.

⁵²in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

⁵³Διοτι πρεπει το φθαρτον τουτο να ενδυθη αφθαρσιαν, και το θνητον τουτο να ενδυθη αθανασιαν.

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

⁵⁴Οταν δε το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυθη αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυθη αθανασιαν, τοτε θελει γεινει ο λογος ο γεγραμμενος· Κατεποθη ο θανατος εν νικη.

⁵⁴But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” Isaiah 25:8

⁵⁵Που, θανατε, το κεντρον σου; που, αδη, η νικη σου;

⁵⁵“Death, where is your sting? Hades or, Hell , where is your victory?” Hosea 13:14

⁵⁶το δε κεντρον του θανατου ειναι η αμαρτια, και η δυναμις της αμαρτιας ο νομος.

⁵⁶The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

⁵⁷Αλλα χαρις εις τον Θεον, οστις διδει εις ημας την νικην δια του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸[] Ωστε, αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι, γινεσθε στερεοι, αμετακινητοι, περισσευοντες παντοτε εις το εργον του Κυριου, γινωσκοντες οτι ο κοπος σας δεν ειναι ματαιος εν Κυριω.

⁵⁸Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
