   Day 329, 26 November 2025 - Third day of Advent 2025   
      
   1)1 Corinthians 15 , 1 Corinthians 16   
      
   1 Corinthians 15   
      
   The Resurrection of Christ   
      
   1 (Ro 5:2; 2Co 1:24) Now, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I   
   preached to you, which you have received, and in which you stand.   
   2 (Gal 3:4; Ro 1:16) Through it you are saved, if you keep in memory   
   what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.   
   3 (1Pe 2:24; 1Co 11:23; Gal 1:4) For I delivered to you first of all   
   that which I also received: how Christ died for our sins according   
   to the Scriptures,   
   4 (Ps 16:10-11; Hos 6:2) was buried, rose again the third day   
   according to the Scriptures,   
   5 (Mk 16:14; Ac 10:41) and was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelve.   
   6 (Ac 7:60; 1Co 15:18) Then He was seen by over five hundred brothers   
   at once, of whom the greater part remain to this present time,   
   though some have passed away.   
   7 (Lk 24:50) Then He was seen by James and then by all the apostles.   
   8 (1Co 9:1; Ac 9:17) Last of all, He was seen by me also,   
   as by one born at the wrong time.   
   9 (Ac 8:3; 2Co 12:11) For I am the least of the apostles   
   and am not fit to be called an apostle,   
   because I persecuted the church of God.   
   10 (Php 2:13; 2Co 3:5) But by the grace of God I am what I am.   
   And His grace toward me was not in vain. I labored more abundantly   
   than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.   
   11 Therefore, whether it was I or they,   
   so we preach and so you believed.   
      
   [1] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto   
   you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;   
   [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto   
   you, unless ye have believed in vain.   
   [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how   
   that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;   
   [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according   
   to the scriptures:   
   [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:   
   [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom   
   the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.   
   [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.   
   [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.   
   [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.   
   [10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was   
   bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they   
   all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.   
   [11] Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.   
      
   The Resurrection of the Dead   
      
   12 (Ac 23:8; 2Ti 2:18) Now if Christ is preached that He rose from the dead,   
   how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?   
   13 (1Th 4:14) If there is no resurrection of the dead,   
   then Christ has not risen.   
   14 If Christ has not risen, then our preaching is vain,   
   and your faith is also vain.   
   15 (Ac 2:24) Yes, and we would then be found false witnesses of God,   
   because we have testified that God raised up Christ, whom He did not   
   raise up, if in fact the dead do not rise.   
   16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ has not been raised.   
   17 (Ro 4:25) If Christ is not raised, your faith is vain;   
   you are still in your sins.   
   18 (Rev 14:13; 1Co 15:6) Then they also who have fallen asleep   
   in Christ have perished.   
   19 (2Ti 3:12) If in this life only we have hope in Christ,   
   we are of all men most miserable.   
   20 (Ac 26:23; 1Co 15:23) But now is Christ risen from the dead   
   and become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.   
   21 (Jn 11:25; Ro 6:23) For since death came by man, by man came   
   also the resurrection of the dead.   
   22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.   
   23 (1Co 15:20; 15:52) But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits;   
   afterward, those who are Christ's at His coming.   
   24 (Da 7:27; 7:14; Isa 9:7) Then comes the end when He will deliver up   
   the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule   
   and all authority and power.   
   25 (Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44) For He will reign until He has put all enemies   
   under His feet.   
   26 (2Ti 1:10; Rev 20:14) The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.   
   27 (Ps 8:6; Mt 28:18) For He "has put all things under His feet."(Ps 8:6.)   
   But when He says, "all things are put under Him," it is revealed that He,   
   who has put all things under Him, is the exception.   
   28 (1Co 3:23; Php 3:21) When all things are subjected 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.   
   29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead,   
   if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?   
   30 And why do we stand in danger every hour?   
   31 (Ro 8:36; 1Th 2:19) I affirm, by the boasting in you which   
   I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.   
   32 (Isa 22:13; Lk 12:19) If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts   
   at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me if the dead do not rise?   
   "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."(Isa 22:13.)   
   33 (1Co 5:6; 6:9) Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."   
   34 (Ro 13:11; 1Co 6:5) Awake to righteousness and do not sin,   
   for some do not have the knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.   
      
   [12] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some   
   among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?   
   [13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:   
   [14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith   
   is also vain.   
   [15] Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified   
   of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the   
   dead rise not.   
   [16] For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:   
   [17] And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your   
   sins.   
   [18] Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.   
   [19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most   
   miserable.   
   [20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of   
   them that slept.   
   [21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the   
   dead.   
   [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.   
   [23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they   
   that are Christ's at his coming.   
   [24] Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to   
   God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority   
   and power.   
   [25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.   
   [26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
