1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
1 ADEMÁS os declaro, hermanos, el evangelio que os he predicado, el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también perseveráis;
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
2 Por el cual asimismo, si retenéis la palabra que os he predicado, sois salvos, si no creísteis en vano.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
3 Porque primeramente os he enseñado lo que asimismo recibí: Que Cristo fué muerto por nuestros pecados, conforme á las Escrituras;
4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
4 Y que fué sepultado, y que resucitó al tercer día, conforme á las Escrituras;
5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
5 Y que apareció á Cefas, y después á los doce.
6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
6 Después apareció á más de quinientos hermanos juntos; de los cuales muchos viven aún, y otros son muertos.
7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
7 Después apareció á Jacobo; después á todos los apóstoles.
8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
8 Y el postrero de todos, como á un abortivo, me apareció á mí.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
9 Porque yo soy el más pequeño de los apóstoles, que no soy digno de ser llamado apóstol, porque perseguí la iglesia de Dios.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
10 Empero por la gracia de Dios soy lo que soy: y su gracia no ha sido en vano para conmigo; antes he trabajado más que todos ellos: pero no yo, sino la gracia de Dios que fué conmigo.
11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
11 Porque, ó [sea] yo ó [sean] ellos, así predicamos, y así habéis creído.
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
12 Y si Cristo es predicado que resucitó de los muertos, ¿cómo dicen algunos entre vosotros que no hay resurrección de muertos?
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
13 Porque si no hay resurrección de muertos, Cristo tampoco resucitó:
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
14 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra fe.
15 In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
15 Y aun somos hallados falsos testigos de Dios; porque hemos testificado de Dios que él haya levantado á Cristo; al cual no levantó, si en verdad los muertos no resucitan.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
16 Porque si los muertos no resucitan, tampoco Cristo resucitó:
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
17 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vuestra fe es vana; aun estáis en vuestros pecados.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
18 Entonces también los que durmieron en Cristo son perdidos.
19 If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
19 Si en esta vida solamente esperamos en Cristo, los más miserables somos de todos los hombres.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
20 Mas ahora Cristo ha resucitado de los muertos; primicias de los que durmieron es hecho.
21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
21 Porque por cuanto la muerte [entró] por un hombre, también por un hombre la resurrección de los muertos.
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
22 Porque así como en Adam todos mueren, así también en Cristo todos serán vivificados.
23 But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
23 Mas cada uno en su orden: Cristo las primicias; luego los que son de Cristo, en su venida.
24 Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.
24 Luego el fin; cuando entregará el reino á Dios y al Padre, cuando habrá quitado todo imperio, y toda potencia y potestad.
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
25 Porque es menester que él reine, hasta poner á todos sus enemigos debajo de sus pies.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
26 Y el postrer enemigo que será deshecho, será la muerte.
27 For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
27 Porque todas las cosas sujetó debajo de sus pies. Y cuando dice: Todas las cosas son sujetadas á él, claro está exceptuado aquel que sujetó á él todas las cosas.
28 And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
28 Mas luego que todas las cosas le fueren sujetas, entonces también el mismo Hijo se sujetará al que le sujetó á él todas las cosas, para que Dios sea todas las cosas en todos.
29 If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
29 De otro modo, ¿qué harán los que se bautizan por los muertos, si en ninguna manera los muertos resucitan? ¿Por qué pues se bautizan por los muertos?
30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
30 ¿Y por qué nosotros peligramos á toda hora?
31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31 Sí, por la gloria que en orden á vosotros tengo en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro, cada día muero.
32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
32 Si como hombre batallé en Efeso contra las bestias, ¿qué me aprovecha? Si los muertos no resucitan, comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos.
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
33 No erréis: las malas conversaciones corrompen las buenas costumbres.
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
34 Velad debidamente, y no pequéis; porque algunos no conocen á Dios: para vergüenza vuestra hablo.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
35 Mas dirá alguno: ¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Con qué cuerpo vendrán?
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
36 Necio, lo que tú siembras no se vivifica, si no muriere [antes].
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
37 Y lo que siembras, no siembras el cuerpo que ha de salir, sino el grano desnudo, acaso de trigo, ó de otro [grano]:
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
38 Mas Dios le da el cuerpo como quiso, y á cada simiente su propio cuerpo.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
39 Toda carne no es la misma carne; mas una carne ciertamente es la de los hombres, y otra carne la de los animales, y otra la de los peces, y otra la de las aves.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
40 Y cuerpos hay celestiales, y cuerpos terrestres; mas ciertamente una es la gloria de los celestiales, y otra la de los terrestres.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
41 Otra es la gloria del sol, y otra la gloria de la luna, y otra la gloria de las estrellas: porque una estrella es diferente de otra en gloria.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
42 Así también es la resurrección de los muertos. Se siembra en corrupción, se levantará en incorrupción;
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
43 Se siembra en vergüenza, se levantará con gloria; se siembra en flaqueza, se levantará con potencia;
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
44 Se siembra cuerpo animal, resucitará espiritual cuerpo. Hay cuerpo animal, y hay cuerpo espiritual.
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
45 Así también está escrito: Fué hecho el primer hombre Adam en ánima viviente; el postrer Adam en espíritu vivificante.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
46 Mas lo espiritual no es primero, sino lo animal; luego lo espiritual.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
47 El primer hombre, es de la tierra, terreno: el segundo hombre, [que es] el Señor, es del cielo.
48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
48 Cual el terreno, tales también los terrenos; y cual el celestial, tales también los celestiales.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
49 Y como trajimos la imagen del terreno, traeremos también la imagen del celestial.
50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
50 Esto empero digo, hermanos: que la carne y la sangre no pueden heredar el reino de Dios; ni la corrupción hereda la incorrupción.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
51 He aquí, os digo un misterio: Todos ciertamente no dormiremos, mas todos seremos transformados,
52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
52 En un momento, en un abrir de ojo, á la final trompeta; porque será tocada la trompeta, y los muertos serán levantados sin corrupción, y nosotros seremos transformados.
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
53 Porque es menester que esto corruptible sea vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal sea vestido de inmortalidad.
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
54 Y cuando esto corruptible fuere vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal fuere vestido de inmortalidad, entonces se efectuará la palabra que está escrita: Sorbida es la muerte con victoria.
55 “Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”
55 ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿dónde, oh sepulcro, tu victoria?
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
56 Ya que el aguijón de la muerte es el pecado, y la potencia del pecado, la ley.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
57 Mas á Dios gracias, que nos da la victoria por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
58 Así que, hermanos míos amados, estad firmes y constantes, creciendo en la obra del Señor siempre, sabiendo que vuestro trabajo en el Señor no es vano.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having finished the discourse of spiritual gifts, he passes to that which is of all most necessary, the subject of the resurrection. For in this too they were greatly unsound.
