KJV ¹ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

KJV ² By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

KJV ³ For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

KJV ⁴ And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

KJV ⁵ And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

KJV ⁶ After 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.

KJV ⁷ After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

KJV ⁸ And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

KJV ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

KJV ¹⁰ But 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.

KJV ¹¹ Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

KJV ¹² Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

KJV ¹³ But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

KJV ¹⁴ And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

KJV ¹⁵ Yea, 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.

KJV ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

KJV ¹⁷ And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

KJV ¹⁸ Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

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

KJV ²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

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

KJV ²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

KJV ²³ But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

KJV ²⁴ Then 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.

KJV ²⁵ For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

KJV ²⁶ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

KJV ²⁷ For 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.

KJV ²⁸ And 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.

KJV ²⁹ Else 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?

KJV ³⁰ And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

KJV ³¹ I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

KJV ³² If 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.

KJV ³³ Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

KJV ³⁴ Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

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

KJV ³⁶ Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

KJV ³⁷ And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

KJV ³⁸ But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

KJV ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

KJV ⁴⁰ There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

KJV ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

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

KJV ⁴³ It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

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

KJV ⁴⁵ And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

KJV ⁴⁶ Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

KJV ⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

KJV ⁴⁸ As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

KJV ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

KJV ⁵⁰ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

KJV ⁵¹ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

KJV ⁵² In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

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

KJV ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

KJV ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

KJV ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

KJV ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJV ⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
