1 Corinthians 15:12-27

Worsley(i) 12 Now if it be preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 for if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses concerning God, for we have testified of God, that He raised up Christ; whom He did not raise up, if indeed the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead rise not, then Christ is not raised: 17 and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also that sleep in Christ, are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and is become the first-fruits of them that slept: 21 for as by man came death, by man cometh also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in their proper order: the first-fruits, Christ; afterwards they that are Christ's, at his coming. 24 Then will be the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father; when He shall have abolished all rule, and all authority, and power. 25 For he must reign till He hath put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that is destroyed is death: 27 for He hath put all things under his feet. But when He saith that all things are put under Him, it is plain that we are to except Him who put all things under Him.
