1 Corinthians 1558

1 Corinthians 15:58 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 58. The verse reads: "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." This passage is part of the Apostle Paul's discourse on the resurrection of the dead, encouraging believers to remain committed to their faith and service to God, as their efforts are not futile in the context of eternal life. The Hebrew translation of this verse is: "לכן, אחי היקרים שלי, תהיו עקשנים, איתנים, תמיד מצויים בעבודה של האדון, יודעים שבאדון עבודתכם לא תהיה לשווא." In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the verse is: "ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, γίνεσθε στερεοὶ, ἀμετακίνητοι, πάντοτε περιισχύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ κυρίου, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐστιν κενός ἐν κυρίῳ." The verse is often cited in Christian teachings to emphasize the importance of perseverance and dedication in religious and spiritual practices, assuring believers that their efforts are meaningful and valued in the eyes of God.
