³⁰ And Jesus answering said: A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ And by chance a certain priest was going down that way; and seeing him, he passed by on the other side. ³² And in like manner also a Levite, arriving at the place, came and saw, and passed by on the other side. ³³ And a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and seeing him had compassion; ³⁴ and coming to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and setting him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two denáries and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. ³⁶ Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers? ³⁷ And he said: He that had mercy on him.

¹ AND I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand; ² through which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word with which I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he has risen on the third day according to the Scriptures; ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve; ⁶ after that, he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all he appeared to me also, as the one born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. ¹² Now if Christ is preached that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ risen; ¹⁴ and if Christ has not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we testified of God, that he raised up Christ; whom he raised not, if it be so that the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ risen; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ²⁰ But now Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who sleep. ²¹ For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits; afterward they who are Christ's at his coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to God, the Father; when he shall have done away all rule, and all authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ As the last enemy, Death shall be done away. For he subjected all things under his feet. ²⁷ But when he says, All things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all things to him. ²⁸ And when all things shall be subjected to him, then will also the Son himself be subject to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all. ²⁹ Else what shall they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then immersed for them? ³⁰ Why also are we in peril every hour? ³¹ I protest by my glorying in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. ³² If after the manner of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what is the profit to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink; For to-morrow we die. ³³ Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. ³⁴ Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I say it to your shame. ³⁵ But some one will say: How do the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come? ³⁶ Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die; ³⁷ and what thou sowest, not the body that shall be sowest thou, but bare grain, perchance of wheat, or of some other grain. ³⁸ But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to each of the seeds its own body. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, another of birds. ⁴⁰ There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and that of the earthly is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. ⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it rises in incorruption. ⁴³ It is sown in dishonor, it rises in glory. It is sown in weakness, it rises in power. ⁴⁴ It is sown a natural body, it rises a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual. ⁴⁵ So also it is written: The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and afterward the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. ⁴⁸ As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. ⁴⁹ And as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ And when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the saying, that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹ NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. ² On each first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, according as he is prospered, that there may be no collections when I come. ³ And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve, them I will send with letters to carry your benefaction to Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it be worthy of my going also, they shall go with me. ⁵ And I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia. For I pass through Macedonia; ⁶ and it may be that I will remain, or even pass the winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. ⁷ For I wish not to see you now, in passing; for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit. ⁸ But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost. ⁹ For a great and effectual door is open to me, and there are many adversaries. ¹⁰ Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do. ¹¹ Let no one therefore despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brethren. ¹² And concerning Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time, but he will come when he shall have a convenient time. ¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith, acquit you like men, be strong. ¹⁴ Let all your acts be done in love. ¹⁵ And I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints,) ¹⁶ that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works with us, and labors. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part they supplied. ¹⁸ For they refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge those who are such. ¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. ²² If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maran atha! ²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and defiled with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

⁴ in whom the god of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, that they should not discern the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

⁸ But if any one provides not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁴ Be not yoked unequally with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

⁹ I wrote to you, in my letter, not to keep company with fornicators; ¹⁰ yet not, altogether, with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters; for then ye must needs go out of the world. ¹¹ But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any one called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one not even to eat. ¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within? ¹³ But those who are without God judges. Therefore put away that wicked man from among yourselves.

¹⁸ having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in then, because of the hardness of their heart;

¹⁴ Be not yoked unequally with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what concord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God; as God said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean; and I will receive you, ¹⁸ and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
