Gen Z: 1 Corinthians 15
1Yo fam, I’m here to spill the tea on the gospel I preached to you, the one you vibed with and stand strong in;
2This is how you get saved, just gotta keep it in your mind what I told you, unless you believed for no reason, no cap.
3I dropped the ultimate truth first: Christ died for our sins, all according to the holy vibes.
4He got buried, then rose up on the third day, just like the scriptures said, lit!
5He showed up to Cephas first, then to the twelve squad.
6After that, he flexed on over five hundred peeps at once; most are still here, but some are taking a nap, fr.
7Then he popped up to James, and to all the apostles, no lie.
8And last but not least, he came through for me too, like I was born late to the party.
9I’m the least of the apostles, not even worthy to be called one, 'cause I was out here persecuting the church, savage.
10But thanks to God’s grace, I’m here doing me: his grace wasn’t wasted on me; I hustled harder than everyone, but it was really God's grace with me, periodt.
11So whether it's me or the squad, we preach, and y’all vibin' with it.
12But like, if we’re saying Christ rose from the dead, why are some of y’all acting like there’s no resurrection?
13For real, if there’s no resurrection, then Christ didn’t rise, no cap.
14And if Christ ain't risen, then our preaching is just sus, and your faith? Totally sus too.
15Yup, we’d be fake witnesses of God 'cause we said He raised Christ, but if the dead don’t rise, that’s a no-go.
16If the dead don’t rise, then Christ ain’t raised, fr.
17And if Christ ain’t raised, your faith is sus; you’re still in your sins.
18Then all those who fell asleep in Christ? They straight up perished.
19If our hope in Christ is just for this life, we’re the most miserable peeps out here.
20But for real, Christ is risen from the dead, the ultimate firstfruits of those who slept.
21So like, death came through one dude, but another dude brought back life. No cap.
22Just like Adam got everyone to bite the dust, Christ is here to bring us all back to life. Periodt.
23But everyone’s got their own vibe: Christ is the first drop, then everyone who’s with him when he shows up.
24Then it’s game over, when he hands the kingdom back to God, and puts all the haters in check.
25He’s gotta be the boss until he’s got all his enemies under control.
26The final foe to be taken out? Death itself.
27He’s got everything under his feet, but when it’s said that everything’s under him, it’s clear he’s the exception.
28And when everything’s chillin’ under him, the Son’s gotta submit to the one who put everything under him, so God can be the ultimate vibe.
29Otherwise, what’s the point of getting baptized for the dead if they’re not coming back? Like, why even do that?
30And why are we risking it all every hour?
31No cap, I’m vibing with your joy in Christ Jesus, but I’m out here dying daily, fr.
32If I’m out here fighting wild animals in Ephesus, what’s the point if the dead don’t rise? Let’s just eat and drink; tomorrow we vibe out.
33Don’t be sus: bad vibes mess up good manners, periodt.
34Wake up to righteousness and stop sinning; some peeps don’t even know God, and that’s kinda shameful, no cap.
35But some dude’s gonna ask, “How do the dead get raised? What’s the body like?”
36Bro, you’re wild: what you plant doesn’t come to life unless it dies first.
37And what you plant isn’t the body that’s gonna be, just a bare seed, like wheat or something else.
38But God gives it a body that’s lit, however He wants, and each seed gets its own body, no cap.
39Not all flesh is the same: humans got one vibe, beasts got another, fish are different, and birds got their own thing going on.
40There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one vibe, and the glory of the earthly is another.
41The sun's got its own glow, the moon's vibin' different, and the stars? Each one’s lit in its own way.
42Same vibe with the resurrection. It’s like, buried in the messy stuff; but then it pops off in pure form.
43Sown in lowkey shame, raised in glory; sown weak, but raised with mad power.
44Sown as a regular body; raised as a spiritual flex. Natural bodies exist, and so do spiritual ones, no cap.
45It’s written, first Adam was a living soul; last Adam? Straight up a life-giving spirit.
46But for real, the spiritual ain't first, natural comes first; then the spiritual shows up.
47First dude is from the ground, all earthy; second dude? He’s the Lord, straight from heaven.
48As the earthy vibes, so do the earthy folks; and as the heavenly is, so are the heavenly peeps.
49We’ve rocked the earthy look, so we’re gonna flex the heavenly image too.
50Yo, hear me out, fam: flesh and blood can’t roll into God’s kingdom; corruption ain’t getting that incorruption.
51Yo, check it, I’m about to drop a mystery; not everyone’s gonna nap, but we’re all getting a glow-up, fr.
52In a flash, like blink and you miss it, at the final trump: the horn's gonna blast, and the peeps who passed will rise up unbothered, and we’ll get that upgrade.
53This old, worn-out vibe gotta switch to something fresh, and this mortal life gotta level up to forever.
54So when this old vibe's got the fresh upgrade, and this mortal's rocking immortality, then it’s gonna be lit when we say, Death is totally owned by victory.
55Yo death, where’s your sting? Yo grave, where’s your win?
56The sting of death is straight-up sin; and the power of sin is the law, no cap.
57But big ups to God, who gives us the win through our homie, Jesus Christ.
58So, fam, stay strong, unshakeable, always popping off in the Lord’s work, 'cause you know your grind ain't in vain, periodt.
