1 Corinthians 15:1-34 : King James Version

15 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein
ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in
memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures: 5And
that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6After
that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom
the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen
asleep. 7After that, he was seen of James; then of all
the apostles. 8And last of all he was seen of me also, as
of one born out of due time. 9For I am the least of the
apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I
am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in
vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but
the grace of God which was with me. 11Therefore whether
it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12Now
if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among
you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if
there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
your faith is also vain. 15Yea, and we are found false
witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up
Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17And
if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your
sins. 18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ
are perished. 19If in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20But now is
Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that
slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But every
man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that
are Christ's at his coming. 24Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when
he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25For
he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26The
last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27For he
hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are
put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all
things under him. 28And when all things shall be subdued
unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that
put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 29Else
what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise
not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 30And
why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31I protest by your
rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat
and drink; for to morrow we die. 33Be not deceived: evil
communications corrupt good manners. 34Awake to
righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:
I speak this to your shame.
