1 Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue,
1 ADEMÁS os declaro, hermanos, el evangelio que os he predicado, el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también perseveráis;
2 And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine.
2 Por el cual asimismo, si retenéis la palabra que os he predicado, sois salvos, si no creísteis en vano.
3 For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, 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 And that he was buried, and that he arose 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 was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue.
5 Y que apareció á Cefas, y después á los doce.
6 After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe.
6 Después apareció á más de quinientos hermanos juntos; de los cuales muchos viven aún, y otros son muertos.
7 After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles.
7 Después apareció á Jacobo; después á todos los apóstoles.
8 And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time.
8 Y el postrero de todos, como á un abortivo, me apareció á mí.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete 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 that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is 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 Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued.
11 Porque, ó [sea] yo ó [sean] ellos, así predicamos, y así habéis creído.
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?
12 Y si Cristo es predicado que resucitó de los muertos, ¿cómo dicen algunos entre vosotros que no hay resurrección de muertos?
13 For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
13 Porque si no hay resurrección de muertos, Cristo tampoco resucitó:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine.
14 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra fe.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be 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 be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
16 Porque si los muertos no resucitan, tampoco Cristo resucitó:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes.
17 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vuestra fe es vana; aun estáis en vuestros pecados.
18 And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished.
18 Entonces también los que durmieron en Cristo son perdidos.
19 If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
19 Si en esta vida solamente esperamos en Cristo, los más miserables somos de todos los hombres.
20 But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept.
20 Mas ahora Cristo ha resucitado de los muertos; primicias de los que durmieron es hecho.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
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, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue,
22 Porque así como en Adam todos mueren, así también en Cristo todos serán vivificados.
23 But euery man in his owne order: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe.
23 Mas cada uno en su orden: Cristo las primicias; luego los que son de Cristo, en su venida.
24 Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie 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 reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete.
25 Porque es menester que él reine, hasta poner á todos sus enemigos debajo de sus pies.
26 The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death.
26 Y el postrer enemigo que será deshecho, será la muerte.
27 For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder 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 shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, 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 Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?
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 Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?
30 ¿Y por qué nosotros peligramos á toda hora?
31 By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
31 Sí, por la gloria que en orden á vosotros tengo en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro, cada día muero.
32 If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall 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 Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners.
33 No erréis: las malas conversaciones corrompen las buenas costumbres.
34 Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
34 Velad debidamente, y no pequéis; porque algunos no conocen á Dios: para vergüenza vuestra hablo.
35 But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth?
35 Mas dirá alguno: ¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Con qué cuerpo vendrán?
36 O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
36 Necio, lo que tú siembras no se vivifica, si no muriere [antes].
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other.
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 giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body,
38 Mas Dios le da el cuerpo como quiso, y á cada simiente su propio cuerpo.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes.
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 heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is 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 There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie.
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 also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption.
42 Así también es la resurrección de los muertos. Se siembra en corrupción, se levantará en incorrupción;
43 It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power.
43 Se siembra en vergüenza, se levantará con gloria; se siembra en flaqueza, se levantará con potencia;
44 It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body.
44 Se siembra cuerpo animal, resucitará espiritual cuerpo. Hay cuerpo animal, y hay cuerpo espiritual.
45 As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
45 Así también está escrito: Fué hecho el primer hombre Adam en ánima viviente; el postrer Adam en espíritu vivificante.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
46 Mas lo espiritual no es primero, sino lo animal; luego lo espiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen.
47 El primer hombre, es de la tierra, terreno: el segundo hombre, [que es] el Señor, es del cielo.
48 As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
48 Cual el terreno, tales también los terrenos; y cual el celestial, tales también los celestiales.
49 And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly.
49 Y como trajimos la imagen del terreno, traeremos también la imagen del celestial.
50 This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption.
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 Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed,
51 He aquí, os digo un misterio: Todos ciertamente no dormiremos, mas todos seremos transformados,
52 In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe 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 this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
53 Porque es menester que esto corruptible sea vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal sea vestido de inmortalidad.
54 So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie.
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 O death where is thy sting? O graue where is thy victorie?
55 ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿dónde, oh sepulcro, tu victoria?
56 The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe.
56 Ya que el aguijón de la muerte es el pecado, y la potencia del pecado, la ley.
57 But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ.
57 Mas á Dios gracias, que nos da la victoria por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo.
58 Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.
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.
