Chapter 15
The Resurrection of Christ
1
Now, brothers, I want to remind you [of] the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
δὲ ἀδελφοί Γνωρίζω ὑμῖν τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε καὶ ἐν ᾧ ἑστήκατε de adelphoi Gnōrizō hymin to euangelion ho euēngelisamēn hymin ho kai parelabete kai en hō hestēkate — NA/TR · 1
2
By [this gospel] you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise,… you have believed in vain.
δι’ οὗ καὶ σῴζεσθε εἰ κατέχετε τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπιστεύσατε εἰκῇ di’ hou kai sōzesthe ei katechete tini logō euēngelisamēn hymin ektos ei mē episteusate eikē — NA/TR · 2
3
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
γὰρ ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον Παρέδωκα ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις ὅτι Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς gar ho kai parelabon Paredōka hymin en prōtois hoti Christos apethanen hyper hēmōn tōn hamartiōn kata tas graphas — NA/TR · 3
4
- that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς kai hoti etaphē kai hoti egēgertai tē tē tritē hēmera kata tas graphas — NA/TR · 4
5
and that He appeared to Cephas [and] then to the Twelve.
καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη Κηφᾷ εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα kai hoti ōphthē Kēpha eita tois dōdeka — NA/TR · 5
6
After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living…, though some have fallen asleep.
ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ οἱ πλείονες ἐξ ὧν μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι δὲ τινὲς ἐκοιμήθησαν epeita ōphthē epanō pentakosiois adelphois ephapax hoi pleiones ex hōn menousin heōs arti de tines ekoimēthēsan — NA/TR · 6
7
Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
ἔπειτα ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ εἶτα πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις epeita ōphthē Iakōbō eita pasin tois apostolois — NA/TR · 7
8
And last of all He appeared to me also, as to [one] of untimely birth.
δὲ ἔσχατον πάντων ὤφθη κἀμοί ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι de eschaton pantōn ōphthē kamoi hōsperei tō ektrōmati — NA/TR · 8
9
For I am the least of the apostles [and] am vvv unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
γάρ Ἐγὼ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων ὃς εἰμὶ οὐκ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ gar Egō eimi ho elachistos tōn apostolōn hos eimi ouk hikanos kaleisthai apostolos dioti ediōxa tēn ekklēsian tou Theou — NA/TR · 9
10
But [by the] grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me vvv was not in vain. No, I worked harder vvv than all of them— yet not I, but the grace of God that [was] with me.
δὲ χάριτι Θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι καὶ αὐτοῦ ἡ χάρις ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ ἐγενήθη κενὴ ἀλλὰ ἐκοπίασα περισσότερον πάντων αὐτῶν δὲ οὐκ ἐγὼ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ σὺν ἐμοί de chariti Theou eimi ho eimi kai autou hē charis hē eis eme ou egenēthē kenē alla ekopiasa perissoteron pantōn autōn de ouk egō alla hē charis tou Theou hē syn emoi — NA/TR · 10
11
Whether, then, [it was] I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
εἴτε οὖν ἐγὼ εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι οὕτως κηρύσσομεν καὶ οὕτως ἐπιστεύσατε eite oun egō eite ekeinoi houtōs kēryssomen kai houtōs episteusate — NA/TR · 11
The Resurrection of the Dead
12
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from [the] dead, how {can} some of you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
δὲ Εἰ κηρύσσεται ὅτι Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν πῶς τινες ἐν ὑμῖν λέγουσιν ὅτι ἔστιν οὐκ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν de Ei kēryssetai hoti Christos egēgertai ek nekrōn pōs tines en hymin legousin hoti estin ouk anastasis nekrōn — NA/TR · 12
13
- If there is no resurrection of [the] dead, [then] not even Christ has been raised.
δὲ εἰ ἔστιν οὐκ ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται de ei estin ouk anastasis nekrōn oude Christos egēgertai — NA/TR · 13
14
And if Christ vvv has not been raised, - our preaching [is] worthless, and [so is] your faith.
δὲ εἰ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται ἄρα καὶ ἡμῶν τὸ κήρυγμα κενὸν καὶ κενὴ ὑμῶν ἡ πίστις de ei Christos ouk egēgertai ara kai hēmōn to kērygma kenon kai kenē hymōn hē pistis — NA/TR · 14
15
In that case, vvv we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ {from the dead}, vvv [but] He did not raise [Him] if in fact [the] dead vvv are not raised.
δὲ καὶ εὑρισκόμεθα ψευδομάρτυρες τοῦ Θεοῦ ὅτι ἐμαρτυρήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὅτι ἤγειρεν τὸν Χριστόν οὐκ ἤγειρεν ὃν εἴπερ ἄρα νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται de kai heuriskometha pseudomartyres tou Theou hoti emartyrēsamen kata tou Theou hoti ēgeiren ton Christon ouk ēgeiren hon eiper ara nekroi ouk egeirontai — NA/TR · 15
16
For if [the] dead vvv are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
γὰρ Εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται οὐδὲ Χριστὸς ἐγήγερται gar Ei nekroi ouk egeirontai oude Christos egēgertai — NA/TR · 16
17
And if Christ vvv has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
δὲ εἰ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται ὑμῶν ἡ πίστις ἐστίν ματαία ἐστὲ ἔτι ἐν ὑμῶν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις de ei Christos ouk egēgertai hymōn hē pistis estin mataia este eti en hymōn tais hamartiais — NA/TR · 17
18
Then those also {who} have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
ἄρα οἱ καὶ κοιμηθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ ἀπώλοντο ara hoi kai koimēthentes en Christō apōlonto — NA/TR · 18
19
If our hope in Christ [is] for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
εἰ ἐσμὲν ἠλπικότες ἐν Χριστῷ ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ζωῇ μόνον ἐσμέν ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων ei esmen ēlpikotes en Christō en tautē tē zōē monon esmen eleeinoteroi pantōn anthrōpōn — NA/TR · 19
The Order of Resurrection
20
But Christ {has} indeed been raised from [the] dead, [the] firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
δὲ Χριστὸς Νυνὶ ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀπαρχὴ τῶν κεκοιμημένων de Christos Nyni egēgertai ek nekrōn aparchē tōn kekoimēmenōn — NA/TR · 20
21
For since death [came] through a man, [the] resurrection of [the] dead [comes] also through a man.
γὰρ ἐπειδὴ θάνατος δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν καὶ δι’ ἀνθρώπου gar epeidē thanatos di’ anthrōpou anastasis nekrōn kai di’ anthrōpou — NA/TR · 21
22
For as in Adam all die, so… in Christ all will be made alive.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν τῷ Ἀδὰμ πάντες ἀποθνήσκουσιν οὕτως καὶ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ πάντες ζωοποιηθήσονται hōsper gar en tō Adam pantes apothnēskousin houtōs kai en tō Christō pantes zōopoiēthēsontai — NA/TR · 22
23
But each in [his] own turn: Christ [the] firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to [Him].
δὲ Ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι Χριστός ἀπαρχὴ ἔπειτα ἐν αὐτοῦ τῇ παρουσίᾳ οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ de Hekastos en tō idiō tagmati Christos aparchē epeita en autou tē parousia hoi tou Christou — NA/TR · 23
24
Then the end [will come], when He hands over the kingdom to God [the] Father after He has destroyed all dominion, - authority, and power.
εἶτα τὸ τέλος ὅταν παραδιδῷ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν eita to telos hotan paradidō tēn basileian tō Theō kai Patri hotan katargēsē pasan archēn kai pasan exousian kai dynamin — NA/TR · 24
25
For He must reign until… He has put all [His] enemies under His feet.
γὰρ αὐτὸν δεῖ βασιλεύειν ἄχρι οὗ θῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ αὐτοῦ τοὺς πόδας gar auton dei basileuein achri hou thē pantas tous echthrous hypo autou tous podas — NA/TR · 25
26
[The] last enemy to be destroyed [is] death.
ἔσχατος ἐχθρὸς καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος eschatos echthros katargeitai ho thanatos — NA/TR · 26
27
For “[God] has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly [does] not include the [One who] put everything under… Him.
γὰρ Ὑπέταξεν Πάντα ὑπὸ αὐτοῦ τοὺς πόδας δὲ ὅταν εἴπῃ ὅτι πάντα ὑποτέτακται ὅτι δῆλον ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος τὰ πάντα αὐτῷ gar Hypetaxen Panta hypo autou tous podas de hotan eipē hoti panta hypotetaktai hoti dēlon ektos tou hypotaxantos ta panta autō — NA/TR · 27
28
And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things {under} Him, so that God may be all in all.
δὲ ὅταν τὰ πάντα ὑποταγῇ αὐτῷ τότε καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς αὐτὸς ὑποταγήσεται τῷ ὑποτάξαντι τὰ πάντα αὐτῷ ἵνα ὁ Θεὸς τὰ ᾖ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν de hotan ta panta hypotagē autō tote kai ho Huios autos hypotagēsetai tō hypotaxanti ta panta autō hina ho Theos ta ē panta en pasin — NA/TR · 28
29
If [these things are] not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If [the] dead vvv are not raised at all, why are [people] baptized for them?
Ἐπεὶ τί ποιήσουσιν οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται ὅλως τί καὶ βαπτίζονται ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν Epei ti poiēsousin hoi baptizomenoi hyper tōn nekrōn ei nekroi ouk egeirontai holōs ti kai baptizontai hyper autōn — NA/TR · 29
30
And why {do} we endanger ourselves every hour?
καὶ τί ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν kai ti hēmeis kindyneuomen pasan hōran — NA/TR · 30
31
I face death every day, brothers, as surely as - vvv I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ἀποθνῄσκω καθ’ ἡμέραν ἀδελφοί νὴ τὴν ἣν ἔχω καύχησιν ὑμετέραν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἡμῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ apothnēskō kath’ hēmeran adelphoi nē tēn hēn echō kauchēsin hymeteran en Christō Iēsou hēmōn tō Kyriō — NA/TR · 31
32
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human [motives], what did I gain…? If [the] dead vvv are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
εἰ ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν Ἐφέσῳ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον τί τὸ ὄφελος μοι εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται Φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν γὰρ αὔριον ἀποθνήσκομεν ei ethēriomachēsa en Ephesō kata anthrōpon ti to ophelos moi ei nekroi ouk egeirontai Phagōmen kai piōmen gar aurion apothnēskomen — NA/TR · 32
33
{Do} not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Μὴ πλανᾶσθε κακαί ὁμιλίαι Φθείρουσιν χρηστὰ ἤθη Mē planasthe kakai homiliai Phtheirousin chrēsta ēthē — NA/TR · 33
34
Sober up as you ought, and vvv stop sinning; for some [ of you ] vvv are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
ἐκνήψατε δικαίως καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε γὰρ τινες ἔχουσιν ἀγνωσίαν Θεοῦ λαλῶ πρὸς ὑμῖν ἐντροπὴν eknēpsate dikaiōs kai mē hamartanete gar tines echousin agnōsian Theou lalō pros hymin entropēn — NA/TR · 34
The Resurrection Body
35
But someone will ask, “How {are} the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?
Ἀλλὰ τις ἐρεῖ Πῶς οἱ νεκροί ἐγείρονται δὲ ποίῳ σώματι ἔρχονται Alla tis erei Pōs hoi nekroi egeirontai de poiō sōmati erchontai — NA/TR · 35
36
You fool! What you sow vvv does not come to life unless… it dies.
σὺ ἄφρων ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζωοποιεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃ sy aphrōn ho speireis ou zōopoieitai ean mē apothanē — NA/TR · 36
37
And what you sow [is] not the body that will be, but [just] vvv a seed, perhaps… of wheat or something else.
καὶ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον ἀλλὰ σπείρεις γυμνὸν κόκκον εἰ τύχοι σίτου ἤ τινος τῶν λοιπῶν kai ho speireis ou to sōma to genēsomenon alla speireis gymnon kokkon ei tychoi sitou ē tinos tōn loipōn — NA/TR · 37
38
But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each [kind] of seed [He gives] its own body.
δὲ ὁ Θεὸς δίδωσιν αὐτῷ σῶμα καθὼς ἠθέλησεν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν σπερμάτων ἴδιον σῶμα de ho Theos didōsin autō sōma kathōs ēthelēsen kai hekastō tōn spermatōn idion sōma — NA/TR · 38
39
Not all flesh [is] the same: - Men [have] one [kind of] flesh, animals [have] another -, birds another -, and fish another.
Οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ ἀλλὰ μὲν ἀνθρώπων ἄλλη σάρξ δὲ κτηνῶν ἄλλη σὰρξ δὲ πτηνῶν ἄλλη σὰρξ δὲ ἰχθύων ἄλλη Ou pasa sarx hē autē alla men anthrōpōn allē sarx de ktēnōn allē sarx de ptēnōn allē sarx de ichthyōn allē — NA/TR · 39
40
[There are] also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly [bodies] [is of] one [degree], and [the splendor] of the earthly [bodies] [is of] another.
καὶ ἐπουράνια σώματα καὶ ἐπίγεια σώματα ἀλλὰ μὲν ἡ δόξα τῶν ἐπουρανίων ἑτέρα δὲ ἡ τῶν ἐπιγείων ἑτέρα kai epourania sōmata kai epigeia sōmata alla men hē doxa tōn epouraniōn hetera de hē tōn epigeiōn hetera — NA/TR · 40
41
[The] sun [has] one [degree of] splendor, [the] moon another -, and [the] stars another -; and star differs from star in splendor.
ἡλίου ἄλλη δόξα καὶ σελήνης ἄλλη δόξα καὶ ἀστέρων ἄλλη δόξα γὰρ ἀστὴρ διαφέρει ἀστέρος ἐν δόξῃ hēliou allē doxa kai selēnēs allē doxa kai asterōn allē doxa gar astēr diapherei asteros en doxē — NA/TR · 41
42
So [will it be] with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown [is] vvv perishable; it is raised vvv imperishable.
Οὕτως καὶ ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ Houtōs kai hē anastasis tōn nekrōn speiretai en phthora egeiretai en aphtharsia — NA/TR · 42
43
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ ἐγείρεται ἐν δόξῃ σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ ἐγείρεται ἐν δυνάμει speiretai en atimia egeiretai en doxē speiretai en astheneia egeiretai en dynamei — NA/TR · 43
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].
σπείρεται ψυχικόν σῶμα ἐγείρεται πνευματικόν σῶμα Εἰ ἔστιν ψυχικόν σῶμα ἔστιν καὶ πνευματικόν speiretai psychikon sōma egeiretai pneumatikon sōma Ei estin psychikon sōma estin kai pneumatikon — NA/TR · 44
45
καὶ οὕτως γέγραπται ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ Ἐγένετο εἰς ζῶσαν ψυχὴν ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ζωοποιοῦν πνεῦμα kai houtōs gegraptai ho prōtos anthrōpos Adam Egeneto eis zōsan psychēn ho eschatos Adam eis zōopoioun pneuma — NA/TR · 45
46
The spiritual, however, [was] not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
τὸ πνευματικὸν Ἀλλ’ οὐ πρῶτον ἀλλὰ τὸ ψυχικόν ἔπειτα τὸ πνευματικόν to pneumatikon All’ ou prōton alla to psychikon epeita to pneumatikon — NA/TR · 46
47
The first man [was] of the dust of [the] earth, the second man from heaven.
ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος χοϊκός ἐκ γῆς ὁ δεύτερος ἄνθρωπος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ho prōtos anthrōpos choikos ek gēs ho deuteros anthrōpos ex ouranou — NA/TR · 47
48
As [was] the earthly [man], so also [are] those who are of the earth; and as [is] the heavenly [man], so also [are] those who are of heaven.
οἷος ὁ χοϊκός τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι hoios ho choikos toioutoi kai hoi choikoi kai hoios ho epouranios toioutoi kai hoi epouranioi — NA/TR · 48
49
And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly [man], so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly [man].
καὶ καθὼς ἐφορέσαμεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ χοϊκοῦ καὶ φορέσομεν τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου kai kathōs ephoresamen tēn eikona tou choikou kai phoresomen tēn eikona tou epouraniou — NA/TR · 49
Where, O Death, Is Your Victory?
50
Now I declare [to you] -, brothers, that flesh and blood vvv cannot inherit [the] kingdom of God, nor {does} the perishable inherit the imperishable.
δέ φημι Τοῦτο ἀδελφοί ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα οὐ δύναται κληρονομῆσαι βασιλείαν Θεοῦ οὐδὲ ἡ φθορὰ κληρονομεῖ τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν de phēmi Touto adelphoi hoti sarx kai haima ou dynatai klēronomēsai basileian Theou oude hē phthora klēronomei tēn aphtharsian — NA/TR · 50
51
Listen, I tell you a mystery: {We will} not all sleep, but vvv we will all be changed—
Ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑμῖν μυστήριον οὐ πάντες κοιμηθησόμεθα δὲ πάντες ἀλλαγησόμεθα Idou legō hymin mystērion ou pantes koimēthēsometha de pantes allagēsometha — NA/TR · 51
52
in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
ἐν ἀτόμῳ ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι γάρ σαλπίσει καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα en atomō en rhipē ophthalmou en tē eschatē salpingi gar salpisei kai hoi nekroi egerthēsontai aphthartoi kai hēmeis allagēsometha — NA/TR · 52
53
For the perishable must be clothed with [the] imperishable, and the mortal [with] immortality.
γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν δεῖ τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ θνητὸν ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν gar to phtharton dei touto endysasthai aphtharsian kai touto to thnēton endysasthai athanasian — NA/TR · 53
54
- When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal [with] immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
δὲ Ὅταν τοῦτο τὸ φθαρτὸν ἐνδύσηται τὴν ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ θνητὸν ἐνδύσηται ἀθανασίαν τότε ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος γενήσεται ὁ θάνατος Κατεπόθη εἰς νῖκος de Hotan touto to phtharton endysētai tēn aphtharsian kai touto to thnēton endysētai athanasian tote ho logos ho gegrammenos genēsetai ho thanatos Katepothē eis nikos — NA/TR · 54
55
“Where, O Death, [is] your victory? Where, O Death, [is] your sting?”
Ποῦ θάνατε σου τὸ νῖκος ποῦ θάνατε σου τὸ κέντρον Pou thanate sou to nikos pou thanate sou to kentron — NA/TR · 55
56
- The sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin [is] the law.
δὲ Τὸ κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία δὲ ἡ δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος de To kentron tou thanatou hē hamartia de hē dynamis tēs hamartias ho nomos — NA/TR · 56
57
But thanks [be] to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
δὲ χάρις τῷ Θεῷ τῷ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος διὰ ἡμῶν τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ de charis tō Theō tō didonti hēmin to nikos dia hēmōn tou Kyriou Iēsou Christou — NA/TR · 57
58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast [and] immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in [the] Lord is not in vain.
Ὥστε μου ἀγαπητοί ἀδελφοί γίνεσθε ἑδραῖοι ἀμετακίνητοι πάντοτε περισσεύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ Κυρίου εἰδότες ὅτι ὑμῶν ὁ κόπος ἐν Κυρίῳ ἔστιν οὐκ κενὸς Hōste mou agapētoi adelphoi ginesthe hedraioi ametakinētoi pantote perisseuontes en tō ergō tou Kyriou eidotes hoti hymōn ho kopos en Kyriō estin ouk kenos — NA/TR · 58
