19:If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20:But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
21:For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
22:And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
23:But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
24:Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
25:For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26:And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,
27:All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
28:And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29:Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
30:Why also are we in danger every hour?
31:I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32:If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die.
33:Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
34:Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.
35:But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?
36:Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.
37:And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.
38:But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
39:All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
40:And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
41:One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.
42:So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.
43:It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.
44:It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:
45:The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
46:Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
47:The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
48:Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
49:Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
50:Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
51:Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.
52:In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
53:For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
54:And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
55:O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
56:Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
57:But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58:Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1:NOW concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
2:On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.
3:And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
4:And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
5:Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
6:And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
7:For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
8:But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9:For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
10:Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11:Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the breatheren.
12:And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the breatheren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.
13:Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.
14:Let all your things be done in charity.
15:And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
16:That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.
17:And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
18:For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
19:The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.
20:All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21:The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
22:If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.
23:The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24:My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
1:AND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
2:For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3:And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4:And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
5:That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6:Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
7:But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:
8:Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
9:But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
10:But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11:For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
12:Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
13:Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14:But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
15:But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
16:For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1:AND I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.
2:I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.
3:For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man?
4:For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?
5:The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.
6:I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.
7:Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8:Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
9:For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building.
10:According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11:For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.
12:Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
13:Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is.
14:If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15:If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
16:Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17:But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
18:Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19:For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.
20:And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
