1 Corinthians 15:12-27

ECB(i) 12
THE RESURRECTION, ESSENTIAL TO THE TRUST
Now if we preach that Messiah rose from the dead, how word some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 And if there is no resurrection of the dead Messiah rose not: 14 and if Messiah rose not, then our preaching is vain and also your trust is vain. 15 Yes, and we are found pseudo witnesses of Elohim; because we witnessed that Elohim raised the Messiah: whom he raised not - if indeed the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, Messiah rose not: 17 And if Messiah rose not, your trust is vain - you are still in your sins. 18 Then also they who fell asleep in Messiah are destroyed. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Messiah, we are least mercied of all humanity. 20
THE SEQUENCE OF THE RESURRECTION
And now, Messiah rose from the dead and became the firstlings of them who slept. 21 For since through humanity, death, also through humanity, the resurrection of the dead. 22 For exactly as in Adam all die, even thus in the Messiah all enliven: 23 and each in his own order: Messiah the firstlings; then whoever are of the Messiah at his parousia. 24 Then the completion/shalom when he delivers the sovereigndom to Elohim - even the Father; when he inactivates all hierarchies and all authority and dynamis. 25 For he must reign, until whenever he puts all enemies under his feet. 26 The final enemy to inactivate is death. 27 For he subjugates all under his feet. and when he says, All are subjugated, it is evident that he is excepted, who subjugated all under him.
