WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Permítanme recordarles, hermanos, el evangelio que les prediqué antes. Ustedes lo aceptaron entonces, y perseveran en él.
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 Es por medio de este mensaje como ustedes alcanzan la salvación; es decir, si todavía lo creen firmemente. Si no, todo fue en vano.
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 Lo primero que hice fue transmitirles lo que me enseñaron: que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados, de acuerdo con las Escrituras;
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 que fue sepultado y que al tercer día se levantó de la tumba, según las Escrituras;
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 que se le apareció a Cefas y, más tarde, a los doce.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Después se apareció a más de quinientos cristianos a la vez, la mayoría de los cuales vive todavía, aunque algunos han muerto ya.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Luego se le apareció a Jacobo, y después a todos los apóstoles.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 Y por último, como a uno que había nacido fuera de tiempo, se me apareció a mí.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 Yo soy el más insignificante de los apóstoles, título que ni siquiera debería ostentar, porque perseguí a la iglesia de Dios.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
10 Pero lo que soy, lo soy por la gracia de Dios. Y su gracia no ha sido en vano, porque he trabajado más que todos ellos, si bien es cierto que no he sido yo, sino la gracia de Dios que ha obrado por medio de mí.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Pero no importa quién trabajó más, yo o ellos; lo importante es que les predicamos el evangelio y que ustedes lo creyeron.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 Ahora bien, si se predica que Cristo resucitó, ¿por qué algunos andan diciendo que no existe la resurrección de los muertos?
12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Si no hay resurrección, Cristo no resucitó tampoco;
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 y si no resucitó, vana es nuestra predicación y vana es la fe de ustedes.
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 En ese caso, los apóstoles seríamos unos mentirosos, porque afirmamos que Dios levantó a Cristo de la tumba, y esto es imposible si los muertos no resucitan.
15 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 Y si no resucitan, Cristo está muerto todavía,
16 For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 y la fe de ustedes es una ilusión, todavía están en sus pecados.
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Además, los cristianos que ya han muerto están perdidos.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Si el ser cristiano nos fuera de valor sólo en esta vida, seríamos los seres más desgraciados del mundo.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 ¡Pero Cristo sí resucitó! Y al resucitar se convirtió en el primero de los que resucitarán un día.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21 La muerte entró en este mundo por lo que un hombre hizo; pero gracias a lo que otro hombre hizo, habrá resurrección de los muertos.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 Morimos porque tenemos parentesco con Adán, pero viviremos por estar unidos a Cristo.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 Todo, sin embargo, en su debido orden: Cristo resucitó primero; luego, cuando venga Cristo, resucitará su pueblo.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Después llegará el fin, cuando Cristo entregará el reino a Dios el Padre, tras haber acabado por completo con todo poder, dominio y autoridad,
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 porque Cristo tiene que reinar hasta derrotar a sus enemigos y ponerlos bajo sus pies.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 El último de ellos es la muerte.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 El Padre ha dado a Cristo imperio y autoridad sobre todas las cosas; por supuesto, Cristo no gobierna al Padre mismo, porque fue el Padre el que le dio autoridad para gobernar.
27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 Cuando por fin Cristo haya sometido todo, el Hijo mismo se pondrá a las órdenes del Padre, para que Dios tenga la supremacía absoluta.
28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 Si los muertos no fueran a resucitar, ¿para qué se bautizan algunos por los muertos? ¿Para qué lo hacen si no creen que los muertos resucitarán?
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
30 ¿Y para qué vamos a estar nosotros jugándonos constantemente la vida?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Les aseguro que a diario arriesgo la vida; tan cierto es esto como el orgullo que siento por ustedes, en Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor.
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 ¿Qué he ganado yo enfrentándome en Éfeso a hombres que eran como fieras? Si no vamos a resucitar, «¡comamos y bebamos que mañana moriremos!».
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 No se dejen llevar por los que dicen tales cosas. «Las malas amistades, echan a perder las buenas costumbres».
33 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 Despierten y no pequen más, porque algunos de ustedes no conocen a Dios. Para avergonzarlos les digo eso.
34 Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Quizás algunos se pregunten: «¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Qué clase de cuerpo tendrán?».
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 ¡Necio! Cuando uno siembra una semilla, no germina si no muere primero.
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 Y cuando el brote sale a flor de tierra es muy distinto de la semilla que se plantó. Lo que uno siembra es un simple grano de trigo o de cualquier otra planta,
37 That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 pero Dios le da el cuerpo, del tipo que quiso que tuviera. La planta será de acuerdo con la semilla.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 Hay diferentes tipos de cuerpos. Los hombres, las bestias, los peces y las aves son diferentes entre sí.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 Los ángeles del cielo tienen cuerpo diferente del nuestro, y la belleza y la gloria de ellos es diferente de la belleza y la gloria de los nuestros.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 Por ejemplo, el sol tiene un tipo de gloria, mientras que la luna y las estrellas tienen otro. Y las estrellas se diferencian entre sí por su brillantez.
41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 De igual manera sucederá con la resurrección de los muertos. Lo que se entierra, se echa a perder; lo que resucita, no se corromperá jamás.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 El cuerpo que sembremos, es despreciable; pero cuando resucite será glorioso. Ahora es débil, pero cuando resucite será fuerte.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 Al morir sembramos un cuerpo material, pero cuando resucite será espiritual. Así como hay cuerpos físicos, hay cuerpos espirituales.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 Dicen las Escrituras que el primer Adán se convirtió en un ser viviente; pero el postrer Adán, Cristo, es un Espíritu que da vida.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Entonces, primero tenemos cuerpo humano y después Dios nos da un cuerpo espiritual.
46 However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 Adán fue hecho del polvo de la tierra, pero Cristo descendió del cielo.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 Cada ser humano tiene un cuerpo como el de Adán; y los que viven en el cielo, tienen un cuerpo como el de Cristo.
48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 Al igual que ahora hemos llevado la imagen de Adán, un día nos pareceremos a Cristo.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Les digo, hermanos míos, que ningún cuerpo de carne y hueso podrá entrar en el reino de Dios. Este cuerpo corruptible no puede heredar lo que es incorruptible.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51 Les voy a revelar ahora un secreto: No todos moriremos, pero todos seremos transformados.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 Ocurrirá en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, cuando suene la trompeta final. Cuando esa trompeta suene, los que hayan muerto resucitarán con cuerpos nuevos que jamás morirán; y los que estemos vivos seremos transformados.
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 Porque es imprescindible que este cuerpo corruptible se convierta en un cuerpo incorruptible, y que lo mortal sea inmortal.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Cuando así suceda, se cumplirá la siguiente profecía: «Ha sido devorada la muerte por la victoria».
54 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 «¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿Dónde está, oh sepulcro, tu victoria?».
55 “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”
56 En efecto, el pecado, que es el aguijón de la muerte, ya no existirá; y la ley, que le da poder al pecado, dejará de juzgarnos.
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 ¡Gracias a Dios que nos da la victoria por medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor!
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Por eso, amados hermanos míos, estén firmes y constantes; trabajen siempre para la obra del Señor, conscientes de que nada de lo que hagamos para el Señor será en vano.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

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.
