Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
and that he appeared to Kefa, then to the twelve.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϯⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ
Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
Then he appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,
and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲑⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϯⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ
But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Whether then it is I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ
Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some amongst you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been raised.
If Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲟ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ
Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Messiah, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Messiah been raised.
If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
But now Messiah has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive.
But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah’s at his coming.
Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁϥⲕⲁ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏ ⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ
For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϥⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ
When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲣⲱ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
Or else what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲱ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲛⲧⲃⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲛϩⲁⲗⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲧ ⲧⲁ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 ⲛ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϣ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲡⲛϣⲱⲡ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲛⲃⲁⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲓⲃⲉ
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar. For the shofar will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 ⲛ̅ⲇ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϯϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲙⲕⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲣⲟ
But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Death, where is your sting? Sheol, where is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
