1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
1 ADEMÁS os declaro, hermanos, el evangelio que os he predicado, el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también perseveráis;
2 by which also ye are saved; [I make known, I say], in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye 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 I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received, how 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 and that he was buried; and that he hath been 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; then to the twelve;
5 Y que apareció á Cefas, y después á los doce.
6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are 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, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to me also.
8 Y el postrero de todos, como á un abortivo, me apareció á mí.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet 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 which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which 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 be ]I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
11 Porque, ó [sea] yo ó [sean] ellos, así predicamos, y así habéis creído.
12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised 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 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
13 Porque si no hay resurrección de muertos, Cristo tampoco resucitó:
14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
14 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra fe.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that 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, neither hath Christ been raised:
16 Porque si los muertos no resucitan, tampoco Cristo resucitó:
17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
17 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vuestra fe es vana; aun estáis en vuestros pecados.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
18 Entonces también los que durmieron en Cristo son perdidos.
19 If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.
19 Si en esta vida solamente esperamos en Cristo, los más miserables somos de todos los hombres.
20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
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, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
22 Porque así como en Adam todos mueren, así también en Cristo todos serán vivificados.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
23 Mas cada uno en su orden: Cristo las primicias; luego los que son de Cristo, en su venida.
24 Then [cometh ]the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all 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, till he hath 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 that shall be abolished is death.
26 Y el postrer enemigo que será deshecho, será la muerte.
27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto 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 unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto 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 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they 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 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
30 ¿Y por qué nosotros peligramos á toda hora?
31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
31 Sí, por la gloria que en orden á vosotros tengo en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro, cada día muero.
32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? 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 Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
33 No erréis: las malas conversaciones corrompen las buenas costumbres.
34 Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this ]to move you to shame.
34 Velad debidamente, y no pequéis; porque algunos no conocen á Dios: para vergüenza vuestra hablo.
35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
35 Mas dirá alguno: ¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Con qué cuerpo vendrán?
36 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself 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 the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
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 giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
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 beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
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 celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory ]of the terrestrial 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 one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
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. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
42 Así también es la resurrección de los muertos. Se siembra en corrupción, se levantará en incorrupción;
43 it is sown in dishonour; 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 also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became ]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 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
46 Mas lo espiritual no es primero, sino lo animal; luego lo espiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
47 El primer hombre, es de la tierra, terreno: el segundo hombre, [que es] el Señor, es del cielo.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
48 Cual el terreno, tales también los terrenos; y cual el celestial, tales también los celestiales.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
49 Y como trajimos la imagen del terreno, traeremos también la imagen del celestial.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit 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 tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, 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 twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall 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 this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
53 Porque es menester que esto corruptible sea vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal sea vestido de inmortalidad.
54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is 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 O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy 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, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
57 Mas á Dios gracias, que nos da la victoria por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo.
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not vain 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.
