1Corinthians:15:12-34

*
But if Christ is proclaimed ,
that He was raised from the dead ,
how do some among you say that there is not a resurrection of the dead ?
*
But if there is not a resurrection of the dead ,
neither has Christ been raised .
*
But if Christ has not been raised ,
then our proclamation is worthless ,
and your faith is also worthless .
*
And also we are found to be false witnesses of God ,
because we witnessed as to God that He raised Christ ,
whom He did not raise ,
if then dead ones are not raised .
*
For if the dead are not raised ,
Christ has not been raised .
*
But if Christ has not been raised ,
your faith is foolish ;
you are still in your sins .
*
And then those that fell asleep in Christ were lost .
*
If we only have hope in Christ in this life ,
we are of all men most miserable .
*
But now Christ has been raised from the dead ;
He became the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep .
*
For since death is through man ,
also through a Man is a resurrection of the dead ;
*
for as in Adam all die ,
so also in Christ all will be made alive .
*
But each in his own order :
Christ ,
the firstfruit ,
afterward those of Christ at His coming .
*
Then is the end ,
when He delivers the kingdom to God ,
even the Father ,
when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power .
*
for it is right for Him to reign until He puts all the enemies under His feet ;

the last enemy made to cease is death .
*
For "
He subjected all things under His feet ;"
but when He says that all things have been subjected ,
it is plain that it excepts Him who has subjected all things to Him .
Psa .

*
But when all things are subjected to Him ,
then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who has subjected all things to Him ,
that God may be all things in all .
*
Otherwise ,
what will they do ,
those being baptized on behalf of the dead ?
If the dead are not at all raised ,
why indeed are they baptized on behalf of the dead ?
*
Why are we also in danger every hour ?
*
Day by day I die ,
by your boasting ,
which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord .
*
If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus ,
what the profit to me if the dead are not raised ? ("
Let us eat and drink ,
for tomorrow we die .")
Isaiah .

Do not be led astray ;
bad companionships ruin good habits .
*
Be righteously awake ,
and do not sin ;
for some have ignorance of God .
I speak to your shame .
