Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. | Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. |
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: 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 down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. |

For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. | For since by a man death came, by a Man also came the resurrection of the dead. |
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. | For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. |
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” | Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” |
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. | Sober up morally and stop sinning, for some 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, who gives 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 steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. | Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. |
