1 Corinthians

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Let all things be done decently and in order.

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
