1. 1WYC`Sotheli, britheren, Y make the gospel knowun to you, which Y haue prechid to you, the which also ye han takun, in which ye stonden,BSBBSB: Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.
2. 2WYCalso bi which ye schulen be sauyd; `bi which resoun Y haue prechid to you, if ye holden, `if ye han not bileuyd ideli.BSBBSB: By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. 3WYCFor Y bitook to you at the bigynnyng that thing which also Y haue resseyued; that Crist was deed for oure synnes, bi the scripturis;BSBBSB: For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4. 4WYCand that he was biried, and that he roos ayen in the thridde dai, after scripturis;BSBBSB: that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5. 5WYCand that he was seyn to Cephas, and aftir these thingis to enleuene;BSBBSB: and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
6. 6WYCaftirward he was seyn to mo than fyue hundrid britheren togidere, of whiche manye lyuen yit, but summe ben deed; aftirward he was seyn to James,BSBBSB: After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
7. 7WYCand aftirward to alle the apostlis.BSBBSB: Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8. 8WYCAnd last of alle he was seyn also to me, as to a deed borun child.BSBBSB: And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
9. 9WYCFor Y am the leste of apostlis, that am not worthi to be clepid apostle, for Y pursuede the chirche of God.BSBBSB: For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10. 10WYCBut bi the grace of God Y am that thing that Y am; and his grace was not voide in me. For Y trauelide more plenteuously than alle thei; but not Y, but the grace of God with me.BSBBSB: But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
11. 11WYCBut whether Y, or thei, so we han prechid, and so ye han bileuyd.BSBBSB: Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12. 12WYCAnd if Crist is prechid, that he roos ayen fro deeth, hou seien summen among you, that the ayenrisyng of deed men is not?BSBBSB: 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?
13. 13WYCAnd if the ayenrisyng of deed men is not, nethir Crist roos ayen fro deeth.BSBBSB: If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14. 14WYCAnd if Crist roos not, oure preching is veyn, oure feith is veyn.BSBBSB: And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
15. 15WYCAnd we ben foundun false witnessis of God, for we han seid witnessyng ayens God, that he reiside Crist, whom he reiside not, if deed men risen not ayen.BSBBSB: In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16. 16WYCForwhi if deed men risen not ayen, nether Crist roos ayen;BSBBSB: For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
17. 17WYCand if Crist roos not ayen, oure feith is veyn; and yit ye ben in youre synnes.BSBBSB: And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18. 18WYCAnd thanne thei that han diede in Crist, han perischid.BSBBSB: Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19. 19WYCIf in this life oneli we ben hoping in Crist, we ben more wretchis than alle men.BSBBSB: If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.
20. 20WYCBut now Crist roos ayen fro deth, the firste fruit of deed men;BSBBSB: But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21. 21WYCfor deeth was bi a man, and bi a man is ayenrisyng fro deth.BSBBSB: For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22. 22WYCAnd as in Adam alle men dien, so in Crist alle men schulen be quykenyd.BSBBSB: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
23. 23WYCBut ech man in his ordre; the firste fruit, Crist, afterward thei that ben of Crist, that bileueden in the comyng of Crist;BSBBSB: But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
24. 24WYCaftirward an ende, whanne he schal bitake the kyngdom to God and to the fadir, whanne he schal auoide al princehod, and power, and vertu.BSBBSB: Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.
25. 25WYCBut it bihoueth hym to regne, til he putte alle hise enemyes vndur hise feet.BSBBSB: For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26. 26WYCAnd at the laste, deth the enemye schal be distried; for he hath maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet.BSBBSB: The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27. 27WYCAnd whanne he seith, alle thingis ben suget to hym, with outen doubt outakun hym that sugetide alle thingis to hym.BSBBSB: 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.
28. 28WYCAnd whanne alle thingis ben suget to hym, thanne the sone hym silf schal be suget to hym, that made `alle thingis suget to hym, that God be alle thingis in alle thingis.BSBBSB: 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.
29. 29WYCEllis what schulen thei do, that ben baptisid for deed men, if in no wise deed men risen ayen? wherto ben thei baptisid for hem?BSBBSB: If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
30. 30WYCAnd wherto ben we in perel euery our?BSBBSB: And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
31. 31WYCEch dai Y die for youre glorie, britheren, which glorie Y haue in Crist Jhesu oure Lord.BSBBSB: I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32. 32WYCIf aftir man Y haue fouyten to beestis at Efesi, what profitith it to me, if deed men risen not ayen? Ete we, and drynke we, for we schulen die to morewe.BSBBSB: If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33. 33WYCNyle ye be disseyued; for yuel spechis distrien good thewis.BSBBSB: Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34. 34WYCAwake ye, iuste men, and nyle ye do synne; for summen han ignoraunce of God, but to reuerence Y speke to you.BSBBSB: Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
35. 35WYCBut summan seith, Hou schulen deed men rise ayen, or in what maner bodi schulen thei come?BSBBSB: But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
36. 36WYCVnwise man, that thing that thou sowist, is not quykened, but it die first;BSBBSB: You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. 37WYCand that thing that thou sowist, `thou sowist not the bodi that is to come, but a nakid corn, as of whete, or of summe othere seedis;BSBBSB: And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
38. 38WYCand God yyueth to it a bodi, as he wole, and to ech of seedis a propir bodi.BSBBSB: But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
39. 39WYCNot ech fleisch is the same fleisch, but oon is of men, another is of beestis, another is of briddis, an othere of fischis.BSBBSB: Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40. 40WYCAnd `heuenli bodies ben, and `ertheli bodies ben; but oon glorie is of heuenely bodies, and anothir is of ertheli.BSBBSB: 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.
41. 41WYCAn othere clerenesse is of the sunne, anothere clerenesse is of the moone, and anothere clerenesse is of sterris; and a sterre dyuersith fro a sterre in clerenesse.BSBBSB: The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42. 42WYCAnd so the ayenrisyng of deed men. It is sowun in corrupcioun, it schal rise in vncorrupcioun;BSBBSB: So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43. 43WYCit is sowun in vnnoblei, it schal rise in glorie; it is sowun in infirmyte, it schal rise in vertu;BSBBSB: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44. 44WYCit is sowun a beestly bodi, it schal rise a spiritual bodi. If ther is a beestli bodi, ther is also a spiritual bodi;BSBBSB: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45. 45WYCas it is writun, The firste man Adam was maad in to a soule lyuynge, the laste Adam in to a spirit quykenynge.BSBBSB: So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46. 46WYCBut the firste is not that that is spiritual, but that that is beestlich, aftirward that that is spiritual.BSBBSB: The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47. 47WYCThe firste man of erthe is ertheli; the secounde man of heuene is heuenelich.BSBBSB: The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48. 48WYCSuch as the ertheli man is, such ben the ertheli men; and such as the heueneli man is, suche ben also the heueneli men.BSBBSB: 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.
49. 49WYCTherfor as we han bore the ymage of the ertheli man, bere we also the ymage of the heuenli.BSBBSB: And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
50. 50WYCBritheren, Y seie this thing, that fleisch and bloud moun not welde the kyngdom of God, nethir corrupcioun schal welde vncorrupcioun.BSBBSB: Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51. 51WYCLo! Y seie to you priuyte of hooli thingis. And alle we schulen rise ayen, but not alle we schulen be chaungid;BSBBSB: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
52. 52WYCin a moment, in the twynklyng of an iye, in the laste trumpe; for the trumpe schal sowne, and deed men schulen rise ayen, with oute corrupcioun, and we schulen be chaungid.BSBBSB: 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.
53. 53WYCFor it byhoueth this corruptible thing to clothe vncorrupcioun, and this deedli thing to putte awei vndeedlinesse.BSBBSB: For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
54. 54WYCBut whanne this deedli thing schal clothe vndeedlynesse, thanne schal the word be doon, that is writun, Deth is sopun vp in victorie.BSBBSB: 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.”
55. 55WYCDeth, where is thi victorie? Deth, where is thi pricke?BSBBSB: “Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”
56. 56WYCBut the pricke of deth is synne; and the vertu of synne is the lawe.BSBBSB: The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57. 57WYCBut do we thankyngis to God, that yaf to vs victorie bi oure Lord Jhesu Crist.BSBBSB: But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58. 58WYCTherfore, my dereworthe britheren, be ye stidefast, and vnmouable, beynge plenteuouse in werk of the Lord, euere more witynge that youre trauel is not idel in the Lord.BSBBSB: 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.
