1 Corinthians 15:12-28 NKJV


1 Corinthians 15:12-28 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?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise.

For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.

And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

But each one in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.

Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom of God the Father, when He puts and end to all rule and all authority and power.

For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

For "He has put all things under His feet." But when he says "all things are put under Him." it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under  Him, that  God may be all in all.

Acts 2:22-28 "Men of Israel, here Thea words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you u miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midat, as you yourselves also know--

"Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God,you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

"whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

"For David says concerning Him; 'I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my fleah will rest in hope.

For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Npr will You allow Your Goly One to see corruption.

You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.'

Romans 4:23-25 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

who has delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have access by faith into this Grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Job 14:10-12 But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he?

AS water disappears from the sea, And a rive becomes parched and dries up,

So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more. They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep.
