基督的復活

1 弟兄姊妹，我希望你們記住我傳給你們的福音，就是你們曾經領受，向來堅持的福音。 2 你們若持守我傳給你們的，必因這福音而得救——除非你們沒有真正相信。 3 我所領受並傳給你們的最重要的信息是：基督照聖經的記載為我們的罪死了， 4 然後被埋葬了；又照聖經的記載在第三天復活了， 5 並曾向彼得顯現，又向十二使徒顯現； 6 後來有一次向五百多位弟兄姊妹顯現，其中有許多至今依然健在，也有些已經安息了； 7 隨後，祂向雅各顯現，又向眾使徒顯現； 8 到最後，竟也向我這好像未按產期出生*的人顯現。 9 在眾使徒中我最微不足道，根本不配稱為使徒，因為我曾迫害上帝的教會。 10 但靠著上帝的恩典，我成了今天的我，祂賜給我的恩典沒有枉費。我比其他人更加賣力，不過我不是靠自己，而是上帝的恩典與我同在。 11 不論是我傳的還是其他使徒傳的，我們怎樣傳，你們也怎樣相信了。

死人復活

12 既然我們一直都在傳揚基督已經從死裡復活，怎麼你們當中卻有些人否定死人復活的事呢？ 13 要是沒有死人復活的事，基督也就沒有復活。 14 如果基督沒有復活，我們所傳的就是虛空，你們所信的也是虛空， 15 而且，我們就是在為上帝做假見證，因為我們見證上帝已經使基督復活了。如果沒有死人復活的事，上帝也就沒有叫基督復活。 16 如果人死了不會復活，基督也就沒有復活。 17 如果基督沒有復活，你們的信仰就是虛空，你們依舊沉淪在罪中， 18 那些在基督裡安息的人也滅亡了。 19 如果我們對基督的盼望只在今世，我們就是世上最可憐的人。 20 然而，基督已經從死裡復活，祂是死人中第一個復活的*。 21 既然死亡的到來是藉著一人，復活的到來也是藉著一人。 22 因為正如在亞當裡眾人都死了，同樣，在基督裡眾人也都要復活。 23 然而，各人要按照先後次序復活。基督最先復活，以後祂再來時，屬祂的人也要復活。 24 最後末日來臨，那時基督會廢除一切執政的、掌權的、有能力的，將國度交給父上帝。 25 因為基督必執掌王權，直到上帝將所有的仇敵都放在祂腳下。 26 祂最後要毀滅的仇敵就是死亡。 27 因為聖經上說：「上帝使萬物降服在祂腳下。」當然，這裡說的「萬物都降服祂」不包括使萬物降服祂的上帝。 28 到了萬物都歸服基督以後，聖子基督也要歸服那使萬物歸服祂的上帝，使上帝做萬物的主宰。 29 否則，那些人代替死人受洗有什麼意義呢？死人如果不會復活，為什麼要代替他們受洗呢？ 30 我們又何必時刻身臨險境呢？ 31 我天天與死亡搏鬥。弟兄姊妹，我這樣說，就跟我在主基督耶穌裡以你們為榮一樣，沒有半點虛假。 32 從人的角度看，我在以弗所與那些「惡獸」格鬥對我有什麼益處呢？如果死人不會復活，「讓我們吃喝吧！因為明天我們就死了。」 33 你們不要上當受騙，「交壞朋友會敗壞好品德」。 34 你們該醒悟了！不要繼續犯罪，因為你們當中有些人不認識上帝。我說這話是要叫你們羞愧。

復活後的身體

35 或許有人會問：「死人怎樣復活呢？復活後會有怎樣的身體呢？」 36 無知的人啊！你們種下的種子必須先死，然後才能生長。 37 而且，你們種下的並不是那將來要長成的形體，僅僅是種子，或麥種，或其他種子。 38 上帝按自己的旨意賜給種子形體，每個種子都有自己的形體。 39 血肉之體各不相同，人、魚、鳥、獸都各有不同的形體。 40 此外，有天上的形體，也有地上的形體，兩者的榮光各不相同。 41 日有日的榮光，月有月的榮光，星有星的榮光，這顆星和那顆星的榮光也有分別。 42 死人復活也是同樣的道理。種下去的會朽壞，復活的不會朽壞； 43 種下去的是羞恥的，復活的是榮耀的；種下去的是軟弱的，復活的是剛強的； 44 種下去的是血肉之軀，復活的是屬靈的形體。既有血肉之軀，也必有屬靈的形體。 45 聖經上也說：「第一個亞當成了有生命的人」，但末後的亞當是賜人生命的靈。 46 先有的不是屬靈的形體，而是血肉之軀，以後才有屬靈的形體。 47 第一個人亞當來自地上，是用塵土造的，但第二個人基督來自天上。 48 塵土所造的那位是什麼樣，屬地的人也是什麼樣；從天而來的那位是什麼樣，屬天的人也是什麼樣。 49 我們既然有屬地的形像，將來也必有屬天的形像。 50 弟兄姊妹，我告訴你們，血肉之軀不能承受上帝的國，必朽壞的身體也不能承受永不朽壞的產業。 51 聽著，我要告訴你們一個奧祕：我們並不是都要死亡*，乃是都要改變—— 52 就在一剎那，眨眼之間，最後的號角吹響的時候。因為號角一吹響，死人就要復活成為永不朽壞的，我們也要改變。 53 那時，這必朽的身體要變成不朽的，這必死的要變成不死的。 54 當這一切發生的時候，就應驗了聖經上的話：「死亡被勝利吞滅了。」 55 「死亡啊！你得勝的權勢在哪裡？死亡啊！你的毒鉤在哪裡？」 56 死亡的毒鉤就是罪，罪藉著律法施展它的權勢。 57 但感謝上帝，祂使我們靠著主耶穌基督得勝。 58 所以，我親愛的弟兄姊妹，你們務要堅定不移，總要竭力做主的工作，因為你們知道自己在主裡面的辛勤付出不會白費。

English Standard Version

The Resurrection of Christ

1 Now I would remind you, brothers,* of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope* in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God* has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. 29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”* 34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 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. 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;* the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall* also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Mystery and Victory

50 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
