1Corinthians:15

Moreover , (
note :)
The sixth treatise of this epistle ,
concerning the resurrection :
and he uses a transition ,
or passing over from one matter to another ,
showing first that he brings no new thing ,
to the end that the Corinthians might understand that they had begun to swerve from the right course .
And next that he does not go about to entreat of a trifling matter ,
but of another chief point of the Gospel ,
which if it is taken away ,
their faith will necessarily come to nothing .
And so at the length he begins this treatise at Christ '
s resurrection ,
which is the ground and foundation of ours ,
and confirms it first by the testimony of the scriptures and by the witness of the apostles ,
and of more than five hundred brethren ,
and last of all by his own .(:
note )
brethren ,
I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you ,
which also ye have received ,
and wherein ye In the profession of which you still continue .
stand ;
*
By which also ye are saved ,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you , (
note :)
Which is very absurd ,
and cannot be ,
for they that believe must reap the fruit of faith .(:
note )
unless ye have believed in vain .
*
For first of all ,
I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued ,
how that Christ died for our sinnes ,
according to the Scriptures ,
*
And that he was buried ,
and that he arose the third day ,
according to the Scriptures ,
*
And that he was seen of Cephas ,
then of the (
note :)
Of those twelve picked and chosen apostles ,
who were commonly called twelve ,
though Judas was put out of the number .(:
note )
twelve :
*
After that ,
he was seen of above five hundred brethren at (
note :)
Not at several different times ,
but together and at one instant .(:
note )
once ;
of whom the greater part remain unto this present ,
but some are fallen asleep .
*
After that ,
he was seene of Iames :
then of all the Apostles .
*
*
For I am the least of the Apostles ,
which am not meete to be called an Apostle ,
because I persecuted the Church of God .
*
But by the grace of God ,
I am that I am :
and his grace which is in me ,
was not in vaine :
but I laboured more aboundantly then they all :
yet not I ,
but the grace of God which is with me .
*
Wherefore ,
whether it were I ,
or they ,
so we preach ,
and so haue ye beleeued .
*
*
*
*
And we are found also false witnesses of God :
for we haue testified of God ,
that he hath raised vp Christ :
whome he hath not raised vp ,
if so be the dead be not raised .
*
*
And if Christ be not raised ,
your faith [
is ]
vain ; (
note :)
First ,
seeing death is the punishment of sin ,
in vain should we believe that our sins were forgiven us ,
if they remain :
but they do remain ,
if Christ did not rise from death .(:
note )
ye are They are yet in their sins who are not sanctified ,
nor have obtained remission of their sins .
yet in your sins .
*
*
*
*
*
For as in Adam all die ,
even so in Christ shall all be (
note :)
Will rise by the power of Christ .(:
note )
made alive .
*
*
*
For he must reign ,
till he hath put all enemies (
note :)
Christ is considered here as he appeared in the form of a servant ,
in which respect he rules the Church as head ,
and that because this power was given to him from his Father .(:
note )
under his feet .
*
The (
note :)
The conclusion of the argument ,
which is taken from the whole to the part :
for if all his enemies will be put under his feet ,
then it will necessarily be that death also will be subdued under him .(:
note )
last enemy [
that ]
shall be destroyed [
is ]
death .
*
For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete . (
And when he saith that all things are subdued to him ,
it is manifest that he is excepted ,
which did put downe all things vnder him .)
*
And when all things shall be subdued unto him , (
note :)
Not because the Son was not subject to his Father before ,
but because his body ,
that is to say ,
the Church which is here in distress ,
and not yet wholly partaker of his glory ,
is not yet fully perfect :
and also because the bodies of the saints which are in the graves ,
will not be glorified until the resurrection .
But Christ as he is God ,
has us subject to him as his Father has ,
but as he is Priest ,
he is subject to his Father together with us .
Augustine ,
book 1 ,
chap .
8 ,
of the trinity .(:
note )
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him ,
that By this high type of speech is set forth an incomprehensible glory which flows from God ,
and will fill all of us ,
as we are joined together with our head ,
but yet in such a way that our head will always preserve his preeminence .
God may be all in all .
*
*
*
I protest by your (
note :)
As though he said , «
I die daily ,
as all the miseries I suffer can well witness ,
which I may truly boast of ,
that I have suffered among you .»(:
note )
rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord ,
I die daily .
*
*
*
Awake to liue righteously ,
and sinne not :
for some haue not ye knowledge of God ,
I speake this to your shame .
*
*
*
And that which thou sowest ,
thou sowest not that body that shalbe ,
but bare corne as it falleth ,
of wheat ,
or of some other .
*
*
All flesh is not the same flesh ,
but there is one flesh of men ,
and another flesh of beastes ,
and another of fishes ,
and another of birdes .
*
There are also heauenly bodies ,
and earthly bodies :
but the glorie of the heauenly is one ,
and the glorie of the earthly is another .
*
There is another glorie of the sunne ,
and another glorie of the moone ,
and another glorie of the starres :
for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie .
*
*
It is sown in (
note :)
Void of honour ,
void of glory and beauty .(:
note )
dishonour ;
it is raised in glory :
it is sown in weakness ;
it is raised in Freed from the former weakness ,
in which it is subject to such alteration and change ,
that it cannot maintain itself without food and drink and such other like helps .
power :
*
*
*
*
The first man [
is ]
of the earth , (
note :)
Wallowing in dirt ,
and wholly given to an earthly nature .(:
note )
earthy :
the second man [
is ]
the Lord from As Adam was the first man ,
Christ is the second man ;
and these two are spoken of ,
as if they were the only two men in the world ;
because as the former was the head and representative of all his natural posterity ,
so the latter is the head and representative of all the spiritual offspring :
and that he is «
the Lord from heaven »;
in distinction from the first man . (
Ed .)
heaven .
*
*
And as we have borne the (
note :)
Not a vain and false image ,
but such a one as indeed had the truth with it .(:
note )
image of the earthy ,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly .
*
*
*
In (
note :)
He shows that the time will be very short .(:
note )
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 .
*
For this corruptible must put on incorruption :
and this mortall must put on immortalitie .
*
So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption ,
and this mortall hath put on immortalitie ,
then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written ,
Death is swallowed vp into victorie .
*
O death where is thy sting ?
O graue where is thy victorie ?
*
The sting of death is sinne :
and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe .
*
But thankes be vnto God ,
which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ .
