7K-First Corinthians
18 Also, if this is the case, those who died in union with the Messiah are lost.
1 Corinthians 15:19 (NASB)
19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
1 Corinthians 15:20 (NKJV)
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:21 (AMP)
21 For since [it was] through a man that death [came into the world, it is] also through a Man that the resurrection of the dead [has come].
1 Corinthians 15:22 (NIV)
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:23 (NASB)
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming,
1 Corinthians 15:24 (NASB)
24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:25 (NASB)
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26 (NASB)
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
1 Corinthians 15:27 (CJB)
27 for “He put everything in subjection under his feet.” But when it says that “everything” has been subjected, obviously the word does not include God, who is himself the one subjecting everything to the Messiah.
1 Corinthians 15:28 (CJB)
28 Now when everything has been subjected to the Son, then he will subject himself to God, who subjected everything to him; so that God may be everything in everyone.
1 Corinthians 15:29 (AMP)
29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being [themselves] baptized in behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
1 Corinthians 15:30 (AMP)
30 [For that matter], why do I live [dangerously as I do, running such risks that I am] in peril every hour?
1 Corinthians 15:31 (NKJV)
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
1 Corinthians 15:32 (CJB)
32 If my fighting with “wild beasts” in Ephesus was done merely on a human basis, what do I gain by it? If dead people are not raised, we might as well live by the saying, “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
1 Corinthians 15:33 (NASB)
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
1 Corinthians 15:34 (CJB)
34 Come to your senses! Live righteously and stop sinning! There are some people who lack knowledge of God — I say this to your shame.
1 Corinthians 15:35 (CJB)
35 But someone will ask, “In what manner are the dead raised? What sort of body do they have?”
1 Corinthians 15:36 (NIV)
36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
1 Corinthians 15:37 (CJB)
37 Also, what you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare seed of, say, wheat or something else;
1 Corinthians 15:38 (CJB)
38 but God gives it the body he intended for it; and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
1 Corinthians 15:39 (CJB)
39 Not all living matter is the same living matter; on the contrary, there is one kind for human beings, another kind of living matter for animals, another for birds and another for fish.
1 Corinthians 15:40 (CJB)
40 Further, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the beauty of heavenly bodies is one thing, while the beauty of earthly bodies is something else.
1 Corinthians 15:41 (CJB)
41 The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon another, the stars yet another; indeed, each star has its own individual kind of beauty.
1 Corinthians 15:42 (CJB)
42 So it is with the resurrection of the dead. When the body is “sown,” it decays; when it is raised, it cannot decay.
1 Corinthians 15:43 (NIV)
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
1 Corinthians 15:44 (NIV)
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:45 (NKJV)
45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:46 (NIV)
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:47 (NIV)
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:48 (NIV)
48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:49 (NIV)
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:50 (CJB)
50 Let me say this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, nor can something that decays share in what does not decay.
1 Corinthians 15:51 (CJB)
51 Look, I will tell you a secret — not all of us will die! But we will all be changed!
1 Corinthians 15:52 (NIV)
52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:53 (CJB)
53 For this material which can decay must be clothed with imperishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:54 (NKJV)
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
1 Corinthians 15:55 (NKJV)
55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
1 Corinthians 15:56 (NIV)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV)
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV)
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians Chapter 16
1 Corinthians 16:1 (NKJV)
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
1 Corinthians 16:2 (NIV)
2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
1 Corinthians 16:3 (NIV)
3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.
1 Corinthians 16:4 (AMP)
4 If it seems worthwhile that I should go too, they will accompany me.
1 Corinthians 16:5 (CJB)
5 I will visit you after I have gone through Macedonia, for I am intending to pass through Macedonia,
1 Corinthians 16:6 (AMP)
6 But it may be that I will stay with you [for a while], perhaps even spend the winter, so that you may bring me forward [on my journey] to wherever I may go.
1 Corinthians 16:7 (AMP)
7 For I am unwilling to see you right now [just] in passing, but I hope later to remain for some time with you, if the Lord permits.
1 Corinthians 16:8 (AMP)
8 I will remain in Ephesus [however] until Pentecost,
1 Corinthians 16:9 (NLT2)-M
9 There is a wide-open door for a great work [of ministry] here, although many oppose me.
1 Corinthians 16:10 (CJB)
10 If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to be afraid of while he is with you; for he is doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.
1 Corinthians 16:11 (CJB)
11 So let no one treat him with disrespect. Help him on his way in peace, so that he will return to me, for the brothers and I are expecting him.
1 Corinthians 16:12 (CJB)
12 As for brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to go and visit you along with the other brothers; and although it was not at all his desire to come at this time, he will come when he has the opportunity.
1 Corinthians 16:13 (NIV)
13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:14 (NASB)
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
1 Corinthians 16:15 (CJB)
15 Now, brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first people in Achaia to put their trust in the Messiah, and they have devoted themselves to serving God’s people.
1 Corinthians 16:16 (CJB)
16 I urge you to submit yourselves to people like these and to everyone who works and toils with them.
1 Corinthians 16:17 (CJB)
17 I am glad that Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus are here, because they have helped make up for your not being here.
1 Corinthians 16:18 (CJB)
18 They have refreshed my spirit, just as they have yours. I want you to show appreciation for people like these.
1 Corinthians 16:19 (NIV)
19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
1 Corinthians 16:20 (NASB)
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Corinthians 16:21 (NIV)
21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.
1 Corinthians 16:22 (NKJV)
22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
1 Corinthians 16:23 (AMP)
23 The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1 Corinthians 16:24 (NKJV)
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
