From Textus Receptus

1Co 15:1 Moreouer brethren I declare vnto you, the Gospell which I preached vnto you, which also ye haue receaued, and wherin ye cotinue, 1Co 15:2 By the which also ye are saued, yf ye kepe in memorie after what maner I preached vnto you, except ye haue beleued in vayne. 1Co 15:3 For first of all I deliuered vnto you, that which I receaued: howe that Christe dyed for our sinnes, agreeyng to the scriptures: 1Co 15:4 And that he was buryed, and that he arose agayne the thirde day, accordyng to the scriptures: 1Co 15:5 And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue: 1Co 15:6 After that, he was seene of mo then fiue hundred brethren at once: of which, many remayne vnto this day, & some are fallen a slepe. 1Co 15:7 After that, he was seene of Iames, then of all the Apostles. 1Co 15:8 And last of all he was seene of me, as of one borne out of due tyme. 1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Churche of God. 1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God, I am that I am: And his grace which is in me, was not in vayne: But I laboured more aboundauntly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me. 1Co 15:11 Therfore, whether it were I or they, so we preache, and so haue ye beleued. 1Co 15:12 If Christe be preached howe that he rose from the dead: howe say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1Co 15:13 If there be no rysyng agayne of the dead, then is Christe not rysen agayne. 1Co 15:14 If Christe be not rysen agayne, then is our preachyng vayne, and your fayth is also vayne. 1Co 15:15 Yea, and we are founde false witnesses of God: For we haue testified of God, howe that he raysed vp Christe, whom he raysed not vp, yf it be so that the dead ryse not agayne. 1Co 15:16 For yf the dead ryse not agayne, then is not Christe rysen agayne. 1Co 15:17 If it be so, that Christ rose not againe, then is your fayth vayne, and ye are yet in your sinnes. 1Co 15:18 Therfore, they which are fallen in a slepe in Christe, are perisshed. 1Co 15:19 If in this lyfe only we haue hope on Christe, then are we of all men moste miserable. 1Co 15:20 But nowe is Christe rysen from the dead, the first fruites of them that slept. 1Co 15:21 For since by man [came] death, euen so by man [came] the resurrection of ye dead. 1Co 15:22 For, as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christe shall all be made alyue, 1Co 15:23 But euery man in his owne order. The first fruites [is] Christe, afterward, they that are Christes at his commyng. 1Co 15:24 Then [commeth] the ende, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God the father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all auctoritie, and power. 1Co 15:25 For he must raigne tyll he haue put all his enemies vnder his feete. 1Co 15:26 The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, [is] death. 1Co 15:27 For he hath put downe all thynges vnder his feete: But when he saith, all thynges are vnder hym, it is manifest that he is excepted which dyd put all thynges vnder hym. 1Co 15:28 When all thynges are subdued vnto hym, then shall the sonne also hym selfe be subiect vnto him that put all thinges vnder hym, that God may be all in all. 1Co 15:29 Els what shall they do, which are baptized for the dead, yf the dead ryse not at all? 1Co 15:30 Why are they then baptized for them? And why stande we in ieopardie euery houre? 1Co 15:31 By our reioycyng which I haue in Christe Iesu our Lorde, I dye dayly. 1Co 15:32 If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men, what auauntageth it me, yf the dead ryse not agayne? Let vs eate & drynke, for to morowe we shall dye. 1Co 15:33 Be not deceaued. Euyll wordes, corrupt good maners. 1Co 15:34 Awake truely out of slepe, and sinne not: For some haue not the knowledge of God. I speake this to your shame. 1Co 15:35 But some man wyll say, howe are the dead raysed vp? With what bodie shall they come? 1Co 15:36 Thou foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened except it dye. 1Co 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne, as of wheate, or of some other: 1Co 15:38 But God geueth it a body at his pleasure, to euery seede his owne body. 1Co 15:39 All flesshe, is not the same flesshe: But there is one [maner of] flesshe of me, another flesshe of beastes, another of fisshes, and another of byrdes. 1Co 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: But the glorie of the celestial is one, and [the glorie] of the terrestrial another. 1Co 15:41 There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: For [one] starre differeth from [another] starre in glorie. 1Co 15:42 So is the resurrection of the dead. It is sowen in corruption, it ryseth in incorruption. 1Co 15:43 It is sowen in dishonour, it riseth in honour. It is sowen in weakenesse, it ryseth in power. 1Co 15:44 It is sowen a naturall bodie, it ryseth a spirituall bodie. There is a naturall bodie, and there is a spirituall bodie. 1Co 15:45 As it is also written: The first man Adam was made a lyuyng soule, and the last Adam was made a quickenyng spirite. 1Co 15:46 Howebeit, that is not first whiche is spirituall, but that [whiche is] naturall, and then that [whiche is] spirituall. 1Co 15:47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the seconde man [is] the Lorde from heauen. 1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, suche [are] they that are earthy: And as is the heauenly, such [are] they also that are heauenly. 1Co 15:49 And as we haue borne the image of the earthy, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly. 1Co 15:50 This saye I brethren, that fleshe and blood can not inherite the kyngdome of God: Neither doth corruption, inherite incorruption. 1Co 15:51 Beholde, I shewe you a misterie. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged. 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twynklyng of an eye, at the last trumpe. For the trumpe shall blowe, and the dead shall ryse incorruptible, and we shalbe chaunged. 1Co 15:53 For this corruptible, must put on incorruption, and this mortall [must] put on immortalitie. 1Co 15:54 When this corruptible, hath put on incorruption, and this mortal, hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swalowed vp into victorie. 1Co 15:55 O death where is thy stynge? O hell where is thy victorie? 1Co 15:56 The stynge of death [is] sinne, and the strength of sinne [is] the lawe. 1Co 15:57 But thankes be vnto God, whiche hath geue vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christe. 1Co 15:58 Therfore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmouable, alwayes riche in the worke of the Lorde, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vayne in the Lorde.
