Etheridge(i)
12 But if the Meshiha is proclaimed that he rose from the dead, how are there among you some who say that there is no life for the dead?
13 And if there be no life for the dead, (then) neither hath the Meshiha risen.
14 And if the Meshiha hath not risen, vain is our proclamation, and vain also your faith.
15 But we are also found false witnesses of Aloha; for we have testified of Aloha that he hath raised the Meshiha, while he hath not raised (him).
16 For if the dead rise not, Meshiha also hath not risen
17 and if Meshiha hath not risen, your faith is made void and you are still in your sins.
18 And already have they too who have slept in Meshiha perished.
19 And if in this life only we hope in the Meshiha, more miserable are we than all men.
20 BUT now hath the Meshiha risen from among the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who sleep.
21 And as by man was death, so also by man is the life of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all men die, so also in the Meshiha are all made alive:
23 every one in his order: the first-fruits was the Meshiha; afterward they who are of the Meshiha at his coming.
24 And then will be the end, when he delivereth the kingdom unto Aloha the Father; when he abolisheth every head, and all authority and all powers.
25 For it is to be that he shall reign until he hath set all his adversaries beneath his feet,
26 and the last enemy be abolished, (which is) death.
27 For every thing he subjecteth beneath his feet. But when he saith that every thing is subjected to him, it is evident that (it is) with the exception of him who hath subjected to him all.
28 And when all shall have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who had made subject to him all, that Aloha may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead arise not? Why are they baptized for the dead?
30 And why also every hour are we standing in peril?
31 I asseverate, by your glorying, my brethren, which is mine in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that daily I die!
32 If as among men I have been thrown to beasts at Ephesus, what have I profited if the dead do not arise? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die...
33 Mistake not; for evil narrations corrupt well-disposed [Reyonee basimee.] minds.
34 AWAKEN your hearts rightly, and sin not; for there are some who have not the knowledge of Aloha; to your shame I say it.
