46:014:039 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to
speak with tongues.
46:014:040 Let all things be done decently and in order.
46:015:001 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
stand;
46:015:002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
46:015:003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
46:015:004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
46:015:005 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
46:015:006 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.
46:015:007 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
46:015:008 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of
due time.
46:015:009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be
called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
46:015:010 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.
46:015:011 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
believed.
46:015:012 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say
some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
46:015:013 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ
not risen:
46:015:014 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
your faith is also vain.
46:015:015 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.
46:015:016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
46:015:017 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
your sins.
46:015:018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
46:015:019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable.
46:015:020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of them that slept.
46:015:021 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of the dead.
46:015:022 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.
46:015:023 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
46:015:024 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.
46:015:025 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet.
46:015:026 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
46:015:027 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.
46:015:028 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.
46:015:029 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?
46:015:030 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
46:015:031 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily.
46:015:032 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.
46:015:033 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
46:015:034 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the
knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
46:015:035 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with
what body do they come?
46:015:036 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it
die:
46:015:037 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:
46:015:038 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
seed his own body.
46:015:039 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.
46:015:040 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
terrestrial is another.
46:015:041 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.
46:015:042 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
46:015:043 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power:
46:015:044 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
46:015:045 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46:015:046 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which
is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
46:015:047 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
Lord from heaven.
46:015:048 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as
is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
46:015:049 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly.
46:015:050 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
46:015:051 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed,
46:015:052 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.
46:015:053 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
46:015:054 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.
46:015:055 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
46:015:056 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
46:015:057 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
46:015:058 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.
46:016:001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given
order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
46:016:002 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him
in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no
gatherings when I come.
46:016:003 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters,
them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
46:016:004 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
46:016:005 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia:
for I do pass through Macedonia.
46:016:006 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you,
that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
46:016:007 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a
while with you, if the Lord permit.
46:016:008 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
46:016:009 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there
are many adversaries.
46:016:010 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without
fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
46:016:011 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in
peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the
brethren.
46:016:012 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come
unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to
come at this time; but he will come when he shall have
convenient time.
46:016:013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be
strong.
46:016:014 Let all your things be done with charity.
46:016:015 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that
it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted
themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
46:016:016 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that
helpeth with us, and laboureth.
46:016:017 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and
Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have
supplied.
46:016:018 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore
acknowledge ye them that are such.
46:016:019 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute
you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
46:016:020 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy
kiss.
46:016:021 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
46:016:022 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema
Maranatha.
46:016:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
46:016:024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
