15:11. For whether I or they, so we preach: and so you have believed.
15:12. Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how
do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
15:13. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not
risen again.
15:14. And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain: and
your faith is also vain.
15:15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have
given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ, whom he hath
not raised up, if the dead rise not again.
15:16. For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.
15:17. And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain: for you are
yet in your sins.
15:18. Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
15:19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable.
15:20. But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them
that sleep:
15:21. For by a man came death: and by a man the resurrection of the
dead.
15:22. And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made
alive.
15:23. But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then
they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
15:24. Afterwards the end: when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God and the Father: when he shall have brought to nought all
principality and power and virtue.
15:25. For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his
feet.
15:26. And the enemy, death, shall be destroyed last: For he hath put
all things under his feet. And whereas he saith:
15:27. All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who
put all things under him.
15:28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also
himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all.
The Son also himself shall be subject unto him... That is, the Son will
be subject to the Father, according to his human nature, even after the
general resurrection; and also the whole mystical body of Christ will be
entirely subject to God, obeying him in every thing.
15:29. Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if
the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them?
That are baptized for the dead... Some think the apostle here alludes to
a ceremony then in use; but others, more probably, to the prayers and
penitential labours, performed by the primitive Christians for the souls
of the faithful departed; or to the baptism of afflictions and
sufferings undergone for sinners spiritually dead.
15:30. Why also are we in danger every hour?
15:31. I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
15:32. If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth
it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to
morrow we shall die.
Let us eat and drink, etc... That is, if we did not believe that we were
to rise again from the dead, we might live like the impious and wicked,
who have no belief in the resurrection.
