1 Corinthians 15
1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
hE bhrAtaraH, yaH susaMvAdO mayA yuSmatsamIpE nivEditO yUyanjca yaM gRhItavanta Azritavantazca taM puna ryuSmAn vijnjApayAmi|
2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
yuSmAkaM vizvAsO yadi vitathO na bhavEt tarhi susaMvAdayuktAni mama vAkyAni smaratAM yuSmAkaM tEna susaMvAdEna paritrANaM jAyatE|
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
yatO'haM yad yat jnjApitastadanusArAt yuSmAsu mukhyAM yAM zikSAM samArpayaM sEyaM, zAstrAnusArAt khrISTO'smAkaM pApamOcanArthaM prANAn tyaktavAn,
4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
zmazAnE sthApitazca tRtIyadinE zAstrAnusArAt punarutthApitaH|
5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
sa cAgrE kaiphai tataH paraM dvAdazaziSyEbhyO darzanaM dattavAn|
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
tataH paraM panjcazatAdhikasaMkhyakEbhyO bhrAtRbhyO yugapad darzanaM dattavAn tESAM kEcit mahAnidrAM gatA bahutarAzcAdyApi varttantE|
7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
tadanantaraM yAkUbAya tatpazcAt sarvvEbhyaH prEritEbhyO darzanaM dattavAn|
8 and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
sarvvazESE'kAlajAtatulyO yO'haM, sO'hamapi tasya darzanaM prAptavAn|
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Izvarasya samitiM prati daurAtmyAcaraNAd ahaM prEritanAma dharttum ayOgyastasmAt prEritAnAM madhyE kSudratamazcAsmi|
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
yAdRzO'smi tAdRza IzvarasyAnugrahENaivAsmi; aparaM mAM prati tasyAnugrahO niSphalO nAbhavat, anyEbhyaH sarvvEbhyO mayAdhikaH zramaH kRtaH, kintu sa mayA kRtastannahi matsahakAriNEzvarasyAnugrahENaiva|
11 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
ataEva mayA bhavEt tai rvA bhavEt asmAbhistAdRzI vArttA ghOSyatE saiva ca yuSmAbhi rvizvAsEna gRhItA|
12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
mRtyudazAtaH khrISTa utthApita iti vArttA yadi tamadhi ghOSyatE tarhi mRtalOkAnAm utthiti rnAstIti vAg yuSmAkaM madhyE kaizcit kutaH kathyatE?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
mRtAnAm utthiti ryadi na bhavEt tarhi khrISTO'pi nOtthApitaH
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
khrISTazca yadyanutthApitaH syAt tarhyasmAkaM ghOSaNaM vitathaM yuSmAkaM vizvAsO'pi vitathaH|
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
vayanjcEzvarasya mRSAsAkSiNO bhavAmaH, yataH khrISTa stEnOtthApitaH iti sAkSyam asmAbhirIzvaramadhi dattaM kintu mRtAnAmutthiti ryadi na bhavEt tarhi sa tEna nOtthApitaH|
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
yatO mRtAnAmutthiti ryati na bhavEt tarhi khrISTO'pyutthApitatvaM na gataH|
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
khrISTasya yadyanutthApitaH syAt tarhi yuSmAkaM vizvAsO vitathaH, yUyam adyApi svapApESu magnAstiSThatha|
18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
aparaM khrISTAzritA yE mAnavA mahAnidrAM gatAstE'pi nAzaM gatAH|
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
khrISTO yadi kEvalamihalOkE 'smAkaM pratyAzAbhUmiH syAt tarhi sarvvamartyEbhyO vayamEva durbhAgyAH|
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
idAnIM khrISTO mRtyudazAta utthApitO mahAnidrAgatAnAM madhyE prathamaphalasvarUpO jAtazca|
21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
yatO yadvat mAnuSadvArA mRtyuH prAdurbhUtastadvat mAnuSadvArA mRtAnAM punarutthitirapi pradurbhUtA|
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
AdamA yathA sarvvE maraNAdhInA jAtAstathA khrISTEna sarvvE jIvayiSyantE|
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
kintvEkaikEna janEna nijE nijE paryyAya utthAtavyaM prathamataH prathamajAtaphalasvarUpEna khrISTEna, dvitIyatastasyAgamanasamayE khrISTasya lOkaiH|
24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
tataH param antO bhaviSyati tadAnIM sa sarvvaM zAsanam adhipatitvaM parAkramanjca luptvA svapitarIzvarE rAjatvaM samarpayiSyati|
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
yataH khrISTasya ripavaH sarvvE yAvat tEna svapAdayOradhO na nipAtayiSyantE tAvat tEnaiva rAjatvaM karttavyaM|
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
tEna vijEtavyO yaH zESaripuH sa mRtyurEva|
27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
likhitamAstE sarvvANi tasya pAdayO rvazIkRtAni| kintu sarvvANyEva tasya vazIkRtAnItyuktE sati sarvvANi yEna tasya vazIkRtAni sa svayaM tasya vazIbhUtO na jAta iti vyaktaM|
28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
sarvvESu tasya vazIbhUtESu sarvvANi yEna putrasya vazIkRtAni svayaM putrO'pi tasya vazIbhUtO bhaviSyati tata IzvaraH sarvvESu sarvva Eva bhaviSyati|
29 Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
aparaM parEtalOkAnAM vinimayEna yE majjyantE taiH kiM lapsyatE? yESAM parEtalOkAnAm utthitiH kEnApi prakArENa na bhaviSyati tESAM vinimayEna kutO majjanamapi tairaggIkriyatE?
30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
vayamapi kutaH pratidaNPaM prANabhItim aggIkurmmahE?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
asmatprabhunA yIzukhrISTEna yuSmattO mama yA zlAghAstE tasyAH zapathaM kRtvA kathayAmi dinE dinE'haM mRtyuM gacchAmi|
32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
iphiSanagarE vanyapazubhiH sArddhaM yadi laukikabhAvAt mayA yuddhaM kRtaM tarhi tEna mama kO lAbhaH? mRtAnAm utthiti ryadi na bhavEt tarhi, kurmmO bhOjanapAnE'dya zvastu mRtyu rbhaviSyati|
33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
ityanEna dharmmAt mA bhraMzadhvaM| kusaMsargENa lOkAnAM sadAcArO vinazyati|
34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
yUyaM yathOcitaM sacaitanyAstiSThata, pApaM mA kurudhvaM, yatO yuSmAkaM madhya IzvarIyajnjAnahInAH kE'pi vidyantE yuSmAkaM trapAyai mayEdaM gadyatE|
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
aparaM mRtalOkAH katham utthAsyanti? kIdRzaM vA zarIraM labdhvA punarESyantIti vAkyaM kazcit prakSyati|
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
hE ajnja tvayA yad bIjam upyatE tad yadi na mriyEta tarhi na jIvayiSyatE|
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
yayA mUrttyA nirgantavyaM sA tvayA nOpyatE kintu zuSkaM bIjamEva; tacca gOdhUmAdInAM kimapi bIjaM bhavituM zaknOti|
38 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
IzvarENEva yathAbhilASaM tasmai mUrtti rdIyatE, Ekaikasmai bIjAya svA svA mUrttirEva dIyatE|
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
sarvvANi palalAni naikavidhAni santi, manuSyapazupakSimatsyAdInAM bhinnarUpANi palalAni santi|
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
aparaM svargIyA mUrttayaH pArthivA mUrttayazca vidyantE kintu svargIyAnAm EkarUpaM tEjaH pArthivAnAnjca tadanyarUpaM tEjO'sti|
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
sUryyasya tEja EkavidhaM candrasya tEjastadanyavidhaM tArANAnjca tEjO'nyavidhaM, tArANAM madhyE'pi tEjasastAratamyaM vidyatE|
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
tatra likhitamAstE yathA, ‘AdipuruSa Adam jIvatprANI babhUva, ` kintvantima Adam (khrISTO) jIvanadAyaka AtmA babhUva|
43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
yad upyatE tat tucchaM yaccOtthAsyati tad gauravAnvitaM; yad upyatE tannirbbalaM yaccOtthAsyati tat zaktiyuktaM|
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].
yat zarIram upyatE tat prANAnAM sadma, yacca zarIram utthAsyati tad AtmanaH sadma| prANasadmasvarUpaM zarIraM vidyatE, AtmasadmasvarUpamapi zarIraM vidyatE|
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
tatra likhitamAstE yathA, AdipuruSa Adam jIvatprANI babhUva, kintvantima Adam (khrISTO) jIvanadAyaka AtmA babhUva|
46 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
Atmasadma na prathamaM kintu prANasadmaiva tatpazcAd Atmasadma|
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
AdyaH puruSE mRda utpannatvAt mRNmayO dvitIyazca puruSaH svargAd AgataH prabhuH|
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
mRNmayO yAdRza AsIt mRNmayAH sarvvE tAdRzA bhavanti svargIyazca yAdRzO'sti svargIyAH sarvvE tAdRzA bhavanti|
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
mRNmayasya rUpaM yadvad asmAbhi rdhAritaM tadvat svargIyasya rUpamapi dhArayiSyatE|
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
hE bhrAtaraH, yuSmAn prati vyAharAmi, Izvarasya rAjyE raktamAMsayOradhikArO bhavituM na zaknOti, akSayatvE ca kSayasyAdhikArO na bhaviSyati|
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
pazyatAhaM yuSmabhyaM nigUPhAM kathAM nivEdayAmi|
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
sarvvairasmAbhi rmahAnidrA na gamiSyatE kintvantimadinE tUryyAM vAditAyAm Ekasmin vipalE nimiSaikamadhyE sarvvai rUpAntaraM gamiSyatE, yatastUrI vAdiSyatE, mRtalOkAzcAkSayIbhUtA utthAsyanti vayanjca rUpAntaraM gamiSyAmaH|
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
yataH kSayaNIyEnaitEna zarIrENAkSayatvaM parihitavyaM, maraNAdhInEnaitEna dEhEna cAmaratvaM parihitavyaM|
54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Etasmin kSayaNIyE zarIrE 'kSayatvaM gatE, Etasman maraNAdhInE dEhE cAmaratvaM gatE zAstrE likhitaM vacanamidaM sEtsyati, yathA, jayEna grasyatE mRtyuH|
mRtyO tE kaNTakaM kutra paralOka jayaH kka tE|| (Hadēs g86)
56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
mRtyOH kaNTakaM pApamEva pApasya ca balaM vyavasthA|
57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Izvarazca dhanyO bhavatu yataH sO'smAkaM prabhunA yIzukhrISTEnAsmAn jayayuktAn vidhApayati|
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
