| 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. | Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe 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 first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised 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 through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being. |
| For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. | For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. |
| Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. | Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” |
| Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. | Come to a sober and right mind, and sin no more; for some people 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, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. |
