YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,
1 ADEMÁS os declaro, hermanos, el evangelio que os he predicado, el cual también recibisteis, en el cual también perseveráis;
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 through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,
2 Por el cual asimismo, si retenéis la palabra que os he predicado, sois salvos, si no creísteis 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 for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,
3 Porque primeramente os he enseñado lo que asimismo recibí: Que Cristo fué muerto por nuestros pecados, conforme á 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 and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,
4 Y que fué sepultado, y que resucitó al tercer día, conforme á las Escrituras;
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
5 Y que apareció á Cefas, y después á los doce.
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;
6 Después apareció á más de quinientos hermanos juntos; de los cuales muchos viven aún, y otros son muertos.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
7 Después apareció á Jacobo; después á todos los apóstoles.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 And last of all — as to the untimely birth — he appeared also to me,
8 Y el postrero de todos, como á un abortivo, me apareció á mí.
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly 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.
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 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that [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.
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 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
11 Porque, ó [sea] yo ó [sean] ellos, así predicamos, y así habéis creído.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
12 And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?
12 Y si Cristo es predicado que resucitó de los muertos, ¿cómo dicen algunos entre vosotros que no hay resurrección de 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 and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;
13 Porque si no hay resurrección de muertos, Cristo tampoco resucitó:
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,
14 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra fe.
14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.
15 and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
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.
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 for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,
16 Porque si los muertos no resucitan, tampoco Cristo resucitó:
16 For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;
17 Y si Cristo no resucitó, vuestra fe es vana; aun estáis en vuestros pecados.
17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;
18 Entonces también los que durmieron en Cristo son perdidos.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.
19 Si en esta vida solamente esperamos en Cristo, los más miserables somos de todos los hombres.
19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead — the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,
20 Mas ahora Cristo ha resucitado de los muertos; primicias de los que durmieron es hecho.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.
21 for since through man [is] the death, also through man [is] a rising again of the dead,
21 Porque por cuanto la muerte [entró] por un hombre, también por un hombre la resurrección de los muertos.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,
22 Porque así como en Adam todos mueren, así también en Cristo todos serán vivificados.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,
23 Mas cada uno en su orden: Cristo las primicias; luego los que son de Cristo, en su venida.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.
24 then — the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless 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.
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 for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet —
25 Porque es menester que él reine, hasta poner á todos sus enemigos debajo de sus pies.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 the last enemy is done away — death;
26 Y el postrer enemigo que será deshecho, será la muerte.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to 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.
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 and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the 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.
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 Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the 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?
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 why also do we stand in peril every hour?
30 ¿Y por qué nosotros peligramos á toda hora?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord:
31 Sí, por la gloria que en orden á vosotros tengo en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro, cada día muero.
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow 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.
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 Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
33 No erréis: las malas conversaciones corrompen las buenas costumbres.
33 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say [it].
34 Velad debidamente, y no pequéis; porque algunos no conocen á Dios: para vergüenza vuestra hablo.
34 Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise?
35 Mas dirá alguno: ¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Con qué cuerpo vendrán?
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 unwise! thou — what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die;
36 Necio, lo que tú siembras no se vivifica, si no muriere [antes].
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,
37 Y lo que siembras, no siembras el cuerpo que ha de salir, sino el grano desnudo, acaso de trigo, ó de otro [grano]:
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 and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.
38 Mas Dios le da el cuerpo como quiso, y á cada simiente su propio cuerpo.
38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;
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.
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 and [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;
40 Y cuerpos hay celestiales, y cuerpos terrestres; mas ciertamente una es la gloria de los celestiales, y otra la de los terrestres.
40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ 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.
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 So also [is] the rising again 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;
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
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;
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;
44 Se siembra cuerpo animal, resucitará espiritual cuerpo. Hay cuerpo animal, y hay cuerpo espiritual.
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 so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,
45 Así también está escrito: Fué hecho el primer hombre Adam en ánima viviente; el postrer Adam en espíritu vivificante.
45 So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterwards that which [is] spiritual.
46 Mas lo espiritual no es primero, sino lo animal; luego lo espiritual.
46 However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 The first man [is] out of the earth, earthy; the second man [is] the Lord out of heaven;
47 El primer hombre, es de la tierra, terreno: el segundo hombre, [que es] el Señor, es del cielo.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 as [is] the earthy, such [are] also the earthy; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;
48 Cual el terreno, tales también los terrenos; y cual el celestial, tales también los celestiales.
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 and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly.
49 Y como trajimos la imagen del terreno, traeremos también la imagen del celestial.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the 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.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.
51 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed;
51 He aquí, os digo un misterio: Todos ciertamente no dormiremos, mas todos seremos transformados,
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — 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.
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 for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;
53 Porque es menester que esto corruptible sea vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal sea vestido de inmortalidad.
53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up — to 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.
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 where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?'
55 ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿dónde, oh sepulcro, tu victoria?
55 “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”
56 and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;
56 Ya que el aguijón de la muerte es el pecado, y la potencia del pecado, la ley.
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 and to God — thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
57 Mas á Dios gracias, que nos da la victoria por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing 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.
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.
