CHAPTER 15

1

γνωριζω

δε

υμιν

αδελφοι

το

ευαγγελιον

ο

ευηγγελισαμην

But I make known

♦

to you;

brethren,

the

glad tidings

which

I announced

υμιν

ο

και

παρελαβετε

εν

ω

και

εστηκατε

to you;

which

also

ye received,

in

which

also

ye stand,

2

δι

ου

και

σωζεσθε

τινι

λογω

ευηγγελισαμην

υμιν

ει

by

which

also

ye are being saved,

what 5

word 6

I 7 announced 8

to 9 you 10

if 1

κατεχετε

εκτος

ει

μη

εικη

επιστευσατε

ye 2 hold 3 fast, 4

♦

unless

♦

in vain

ye believed.

3

παρεδωκα

γαρ

υμιν

εν

πρωτοις

ο

και

παρελαβον

οτι

χριστος

For I delivered

♦

to you

in

the first place,

what

also

I received,

that

Christ

απεθανεν

υπερ

των

αμαρτιων

ημων

κατα

τας

γραφας

died

for

our sins,

♦

♦

according to

the

scriptures;

4

και

οτι

εταφη

και

οτι

εγηγερται

τη

τριτη

ημερα

κατα

τας

and

that

he was buried;

and

that

he was raised

the

third

day,

according to

the

γραφας
scriptures;

5

και

οτι

ωφθη

κηφα

ειτα

τοις

δωδεκα

and

that

he appeared

to Cephas,

then

to the

twelve.

6

επειτα

ωφθη

επανω

πεντακοσιοις

αδελφοις

εφαπαξ

εξ

ων

οι

The

he appeared

to above

five hundred

brethren

at once,

of

whom

the

πλειους

μενουσιν

εως

αρτι

τινες

δε

και

εκοιμηθησαν

greater part

remain

until

now,

but some

♦

also

are fallen asleep.

7

επειτα

ωφθη

ιακωβω

ειτα

τοις

αποστολοις

πασιν

Then

he appeared

to James;

then

to the 2

apostles 3

all; 1

8

εσχατον

δε

παντων

ωσπερει

τω

εκτρωματι

ωφθη

καμοι

and last

♦

of all,

as

to an abortion,

♦

he appeared

also to me.

9

εγω

γαρ

ειμι

ο

ελαχιστος

των

αποστολων

ος

ουκ

ειμι

ικανος

For I

♦

am

the

least

of the

apostles,

who

am not

♦

fit

καλεισθαι

αποστολος

διοτι

εδιωξα

την

εκκλησιαν

του

θεου

to be called

apostle,

because

I persecuted

the

assembly

♦

of God.

10

χαριτι

δε

θεου

ειμι

ο

ειμι

και

η

χαρις

αυτου

η

εις

But by grace

♦

of God

I am

what

I am,

and

his grace

♦

♦

which [was]

towards

εμε

ου

κενη

εγενηθη

αλλα

περισσοτερον

αυτων

παντων

εκοπιασα

me

not

void

has been,

but

more abundantly

than them

all

I laboured,

ουκ

εγω

δε

αλλ

η

χαρις

του

θεου

η

συν

εμοι

but not I,

♦

♦

but

the

grace

♦

of God

♦

with

me.

11

ειτε

ουν

εγω

ειτε

εκεινοι

ουτως

κηρυσσομεν

και

ουτως

Whether

therefore

I

or

they,

so

we preach,

and

so

επιστευσατε
ye believed.

12

ει

δε

χριστος

κηρυσσεται

οτι

εκ

νεκρων

εγηγερται

πως

Now if

♦

Christ

is preached,

that

from among

[the] dead

he has been raised,

how

λεγουσιν

τινες

εν

υμιν

οτι

αναστασις

νεκρων

ουκ

εστιν

say

some

among

you

that

a resurrection

of [the] dead

there is not?

♦

13

ει

δε

αναστασις

νεκρων

ουκ

εστιν

ουδε

χριστος

εγηγερται

But if

♦

a resurrection

of [the] dead

there is not,

♦

neither

Christ

has been raised:

14

ει

δε

χριστος

ουκ

εγηγερται

κενον

αρα

το

but if

♦

Christ

has not been raised,

♦

then void [is]

♦

our proclamation,

κηρυγμα

ημων

κενη

δε

και

η

πιστις

υμων

♦

♦

void 2

and 1

also

your faith.

♦

♦

15

ευρισκομεθα

δε

και

ψευδομαρτυρες

του

θεου

οτι

And we are found

♦

also

false witnesses

♦

of God;

for because

εμαρτυρησαμεν

κατα

του

θεου

οτι

ηγειρεν

τον

χριστον

ον

we witnessed

concering

♦

God

that

he raised up

the

Christ,

whom

ουκ

ηγειρεν

ειπερ

αρα

νεκροι

ουκ

εγειρονται

he raised not

♦

if

then

[the] dead

not 2

are raised. 1

16

ει

γαρ

νεκροι

ουκ

εγειρονται

ουδε

χριστος

εγηγερται

For if

♦

[the] dead

are not raised,

♦

neither

Christ

has been raised:

17

ει

δε

χριστος

ουκ

εγηγερται

ματαια

η

πιστις

υμων

ετι

but if

♦

Christ

has not been raised,

♦

vain

♦

faith 2

your [is]; 1

still

εστε		εν		ταις		αμαρτιαις		υμων
ye are		in		your sins.		♦		♦

18

αρα

και

οι

κοιμηθεντες

εν

χριστω

απωλοντο

And then

♦

those that

fell asleep

in

Christ

perished.

19

ει

εν

τη

ζωη

ταυτη

ηλπικοτες

εσμεν

εν

χριστω

μονον

If

in

this life

♦

♦

we 2 have 3 hope 4

♦

in 5

Christ 6

only, 1

ελεεινοτεροι		παντων		ανθρωπων		εσμεν
more miserable		than all		men		we are.

20

νυνι

δε

χριστος

εγηγερται

εκ

νεκρων

απαρχη

των

But now

♦

Christ

has been raised

from among

[the] dead,

first-fruit

of those

κεκοιμημενων		εγενετο
fallen asleep		he became.

21

επειδη

γαρ

δι

ανθρωπου

ο

θανατος

και

δι

ανθρωπου

αναστασις

For since

♦

by

man [is]

♦

death,

also

by

man

resurrection

νεκρων
of [the] dead.

22

ωσπερ

γαρ

εν

τω

αδαμ

παντες

αποθνησκουσιν

ουτως

και

εν

τω

As 2

for 1

in

♦

Adam

all

die,

so

also

in

the

χριστω		παντες		ζωοποιηθησονται
Christ		all		shall be made alive.

23

εκαστος

δε

εν

τω

ιδιω

ταγματι

απαρχη

χριστος

επειτα

But each

♦

in

his own

♦

rank:

[the] 2 first-fruit 3

Christ, 1

then

those

χριστου		εν		τη		παρουσια		αυτου
of Christ		at		♦		his coming.		♦

24

ειτα

Then

the

end,

when

he shall have given up

the

kingdom

to him who [is]

God

and

πατρι

οταν

πασαν

αρχην

και

πασαν

εξουσιαν

και

Father;

when

he shall have annulled

all

rule

and

all

authority

and

δυναμιν
power.

25

δει

γαρ

αυτον

For it behoves

♦

him

to reign,

until

♦

he shall have put

all

τους

εχθρους

υπο

τους

ποδας

αυτου

♦

enemies

under

his feet.

♦

♦

26

εσχατος

εχθρος

καταργειται

ο

θανατος

[The] last

enemy

annulled [is]

♦

death.

27

παντα

γαρ

υπεταξεν

υπο

τους

ποδας

αυτου

οταν

For all things

♦

he put in subjection

under

his feet.

♦

But when

it be said

οτι

παντα

υποτετακται

δηλον

οτι

εκτος

του

that

all things

have been put in subjection,

[it is] manifest

that

[it is] except

him who

υποταξαντος		αυτω		τα		παντα
put in subjection		to him		all things.		♦

28

οταν

δε

υποταγη

αυτω

τα

παντα

But when

shall have been put in subjection

to him

all things,

then

also

himself 3

the 1

Son 2

So

the

resurrection

of the

dead.

It is sown

in

corruption,

εγειρεται		εν		αφθαρσια
it is raised		in		incorruptibility.

43

But

not

first [was]

the

spiritual,

but

the

natural,

the

πνευματικον
spiritual;

47

ο

πρωτος

ανθρωπος

εκ

Such as

he

made of dust,

such

also [are]

those

made of dust;

such as

the

επουρανιος		τοιουτοι		και		οι		επουρανιοι
heavenly [one],		such		also		the		heavenly [ones].

49

και

καθως

And

according as

we bore

the

image

of the [one]

made of dust,

in

an instant,

for a trumpet shall sound,

53

δει
