Prima lettera ai Corinzi - 1 Corinthians 15

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Σας φανερονω δε, αδελφοι, το ευαγγελιον, το οποιον εκηρυξα προς εσας, το οποιον και παρελαβετε, εις το οποιον και ιστασθε,	1 Now I am reminding you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
2 δια του οποιου και σωζεσθε, τινι τροπω σας εκηρυξα αυτο, αν φυλαττητε αυτο, εκτος εαν επιστευσατε ματαιως.	2 Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 Διοτι παρεδωκα εις εσας εν πρωτοις εκεινο, το οποιον και παρελαβον, οτι ο Χριστος απεθανε δια τας αμαρτιας ημων κατα τας γραφας,	3 For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures;
4 και οτι εταφη, και οτι ανεστη την τριτην ημεραν κατα τας γραφας,	4 that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures;
5 και οτι εφανη εις τον Κηφαν, επειτα εις τους δωδεκα?	5 that he appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve.
6 μετα ταυτα εφανη εις πεντακοσιους και επεκεινα αδελφους δια μιας, εκ των οποιων οι πλειοτεροι μενουσιν εως τωρα, τινες δε και εκοιμηθησαν?	6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
7 επειτα εφανη εις τον Ιακωβον, επειτα εις παντας τους αποστολους?	7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 τελευταιον δε παντων εφανη και εις εμε ως εις εκτρωμα.	8 Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me.
9 Διοτι εγω ειμαι ο ελαχιστος των αποστολων, οστις δεν ειμαι αξιος να ονομαζωμαι αποστολος, διοτι κατεδιωξα την εκκλησιαν του Θεου?	9 For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 αλλα χαριτι Θεου ειμαι οτι ειμαι? και η εις εμε χαρις αυτου δεν εγεινε ματαια, αλλα περισσοτερον αυτων παντων εκοπιασα, πλην ουχι εγω, αλλ' η χαρις του Θεου η μετ' εμου.	10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God (that is) with me.
11 Ειτε λοιπον εγω ειτε εκεινοι, ουτω κηρυττομεν και ουτως επιστευσατε.	11 Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
12 Εαν δε ο Χριστος κηρυττηται οτι ανεστη εκ νεκρων, πως τινες μεταξυ σας λεγουσιν οτι αναστασις νεκρων δεν ειναι;	12 But if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Και εαν αναστασις νεκρων δεν ηναι, ουδ' ο Χριστος ανεστη?	13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised.
14 και αν ο Χριστος δεν ανεστη, ματαιον αρα ειναι το κηρυγμα ημων, ματαια δε και η πιστις σας.	14 And if Christ has not been raised, then empty (too) is our preaching; empty, too, your faith.
15 Ευρισκομεθα δε και ψευδομαρτυρες του Θεου, διοτι εμαρτυρησαμεν περι του Θεου οτι ανεστησε τον Χριστον, τον οποιον δεν ανεστησεν, εαν καθ' υποθεσιν δεν ανασταινωνται νεκροι.	15 Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 Διοτι εαν δεν ανασταινωνται νεκροι, ουδ' ο Χριστος ανεστη?	16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised,
17 αλλ' εαν ο Χριστος δεν ανεστη, ματαια η πιστις σας? ετι εισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων.	17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Αρα και οι κοιμηθεντες εν Χριστω απωλεσθησαν.	18 Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Εαν εν ταυτη τη ζωη μονον ελπιζωμεν εις τον Χριστον, ειμεθα ελεεινοτεροι παντων των ανθρωπων.	19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.
20 Αλλα τωρα ο Χριστος ανεστη εκ νεκρων, εγεινεν απαρχη των κεκοιμημενων.	20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Διοτι επειδη ο θανατος ηλθε δι' ανθρωπου, ουτω και δι' ανθρωπου η αναστασις των νεκρων.	21 For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being.
22 Επειδη καθως παντες αποθνησκουσιν εν τω Αδαμ, ουτω και παντες θελουσι ζωοποιηθη εν τω Χριστω.	22 For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
23 Εκαστος ομως κατα την ιδιαν αυτου ταξιν? ο Χριστος ειναι η απαρχη, επειτα οσοι ειναι του Χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου?	23 but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
24 Υστερον θελει εισθαι το τελος, οταν παραδωση την βασιλειαν εις τον Θεον και Πατερα, οταν καταργηση πασαν αρχην και πασαν εξουσιαν και δυναμιν.	24 then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power.
25 Διοτι πρεπει να βασιλευη εωσου θεση παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου.	25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Εσχατος εχθρος καταργειται ο θανατος?	26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death,
27 διοτι παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου. Οταν δε ειπη οτι παντα ειναι υποτεταγμενα, φανερον οτι εξαιρειται ο υποταξας εις αυτον τα παντα.	27 for "he subjected everything under his feet." But when it says that everything has been subjected, it is clear that it excludes the one who subjected everything to him.
28 Οταν δε υποταχθωσιν εις αυτον τα παντα, τοτε και αυτος ο Υιος θελει υποταχθη εις τον υποταξαντα εις αυτον τα παντα, δια να ηναι ο Θεος τα παντα εν πασιν.	28 When everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself will (also) be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Επειδη τι θελουσι καμει οι βαπτιζομενοι υπερ των νεκρων, εαν τωοντι οι νεκροι δεν ανασταινωνται, δια τι και βαπτιζονται υπερ των νεκρων;	29 Otherwise, what will people accomplish by having themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they having themselves baptized for them?
30 δια τι και ημεις κινδυνευομεν πασαν ωραν;	30 Moreover, why are we endangering ourselves all the time?
31 Καθ' ημεραν αποθνησκω, μα την εις εσας καυχησιν μου, την οποιαν εχω εν Χριστω Ιησου τω Κυριω ημων.	31 Every day I face death; I swear it by the pride in you (brothers) that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Εαν κατα ανθρωπον επολεμησα με θηρια εν Εφεσω, τι το οφελος εις εμε; αν οι νεκροι δεν ανασταινωνται, ας φαγωμεν και ας πιωμεν, διοτι αυριον αποθνησκομεν.	32 If at Ephesus I fought with beasts, so to speak, what benefit was it to me? If the dead are not raised: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
33 Μη πλανασθε? Φθειρουσι τα καλα ηθη αι κακαι συναναστροφαι.	33 Do not be led astray: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
34 Συνελθετε εις εαυτους κατα το δικαιον και μη αμαρτανετε? διοτι τινες εχουσιν αγνωσιαν Θεου? προς εντροπην σας λεγω τουτο.	34 Become sober as you ought and stop sinning. For some have no knowledge of God; I say this to your shame.
35 Αλλα θελει τις ειπει? Πως ανασταινονται οι νεκροι; και με ποιον σωμα ερχονται;	35 But someone may say, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come back?"
36 Αφρον, εκεινο το οποιον συ σπειρεις, δεν ζωογονειται εαν δεν αποθανη?	36 You fool! What you sow is not brought to life unless it dies.
37 και εκεινο το οποιον σπειρεις, δεν σπειρεις το σωμα το οποιον μελλει να γεινη, αλλα γυμνον κοκκον, σιτου τυχον η τινος των λοιπων.	37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be but a bare kernel of wheat, perhaps, or of some other kind;
38 Ο δε Θεος διδει εις αυτο σωμα καθως ηθελησε, και εις εκαστον των σπερματων το ιδιαιτερον αυτου σωμα.	38 but God gives it a body as he chooses, and to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Πασα σαρξ δεν ειναι η αυτη σαρξ, αλλα αλλη μεν σαρξ των ανθρωπων, αλλη δε σαρξ των κτηνων, αλλη δε των ιχθυων και αλλη των πτηνων.	39 Not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for human beings, another kind of flesh for animals, another kind of flesh for birds, and another for fish.
40 Ειναι και σωματα επουρανια και σωματα επιγεια? πλην αλλη μεν η δοξα των επουρανιων, αλλη δε η των επιγειων.	40 There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the brightness of the heavenly is one kind and that of the earthly another.
41 Αλλη δοξα ειναι του ηλιου, και αλλη δοξα της σεληνης, και αλλη δοξα των αστερων? διοτι αστηρ διαφερει αστερος κατα την δοξαν.	41 The brightness of the sun is one kind, the brightness of the moon another, and the brightness of the stars another. For star differs from star in brightness.
42 Ουτω και η αναστασις των νεκρων. Σπειρεται εν φθορα, ανισταται εν αφθαρσια?	42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible.
43 σπειρεται εν ατιμια, ανισταται εν δοξη? σπειρεται εν ασθενεια, ανισταται εν δυναμει?	43 It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful.
44 σπειρεται σωμα ζωικον, ανισταται σωμα πνευματικον. Ειναι σωμα ζωικον, και ειναι σωμα πνευματικον.	44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.
45 Ουτως ειναι και γεγραμμενον? Ο πρωτος ανθρωπος Αδαμ εγεινεν εις ψυχην ζωσαν? ο εσχατος Αδαμ εις πνευμα ζωοποιουν.	45 So, too, it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living being," the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 Πλην ουχι πρωτον το πνευματικον, αλλα το ζωικον, επειτα το πνευματικον.	46 But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual.
47 Ο πρωτος ανθρωπος ειναι εκ της γης χοικος, ο δευτερος ανθρωπος ο Κυριος εξ ουρανου.	47 The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from heaven.
48 Οποιος ο χοικος, τοιουτοι και οι χοικοι, και οποιος ο επουρανιος, τοιουτοι και οι επουρανιοι?	48 As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly.
49 και καθως εφορεσαμεν την εικονα του χοικου, θελομεν φορεσει και την εικονα του επουρανιου.	49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.
50 Τουτο δε λεγω, αδελφοι, οτι σαρξ και αιμα βασιλειαν Θεου δεν δυνανται να κληρονομησωσιν, ουδε η φθορα κληρονομει την αφθαρσιαν.	50 This I declare, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Ιδου, μυστηριον λεγω προς εσας? παντες μεν δεν θελομεν κοιμηθη, παντες ομως θελομεν μεταμορφωθη,	51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,
52 εν μια στιγμη, εν ριπη οφθαλμου, εν τη εσχατη σαλπιγγι? διοτι θελει σαλπισει, και οι νεκροι θελουσιν αναστηθη αφθαρτοι, και ημεις θελομεν μεταμορφωθη.	52 in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 Διοτι πρεπει το φθαρτον τουτο να ενδυθη αφθαρσιαν, και το θνητον τουτο να ενδυθη αθανασιαν.	53 For that which is corruptible must clothe itself with incorruptibility, and that which is mortal must clothe itself with immortality.
54 Οταν δε το φθαρτον τουτο ενδυθη αφθαρσιαν και το θνητον τουτο ενδυθη αθανασιαν, τοτε θελει γεινει ο λογος ο γεγραμμενος? Κατεποθη ο θανατος εν νικη.	54 And when this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written shall come about: "Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 Που, θανατε, το κεντρον σου; που, αδη, η νικη σου;	55 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
56 το δε κεντρον του θανατου ειναι η αμαρτια, και η δυναμις της αμαρτιας ο νομος.	56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 Αλλα χαρις εις τον Θεον, οστις διδει εις ημας την νικην δια του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου.	57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Ωστε, αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι, γινεσθε στερεοι, αμετακινητοι, περισσευοντες παντοτε εις το εργον του Κυριου, γινωσκοντες οτι ο κοπος σας δεν ειναι ματαιος εν Κυριω.	58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
