| Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. | And now, brethren, I want to remind you of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and in which you stand firm. Through it you are also being saved, provided that you are holding fast to what I proclaimed to you. If not, then you have believed in vain. |
| For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. | For I handed on to you as of primary importance what I received: that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried and that he was raised to life on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. |
|
| For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. | For since death came into the world through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man. |
| For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. | Just as in Adam all die, so all will be brought to life in Christ. |
| Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. | Do not let anyone lead you astray. “Bad company corrupts good morals.” |
| Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. | Come to your senses and sin no more. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. |
| The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. | The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. |
| But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. | But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. | Therefore, my beloved brethren, stand firm and immovable, devoting yourselves completely to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. |
