1 Corinthians 15:1-13 ▼

1 And I make known to you, brothers, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you also received, in which you also have stood,

2 through which you are also being saved, if you hold fast [to] the word—what I proclaimed as good news to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Writings,

4 and that He was buried, and that He has risen on the third day according to the Writings,

5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve,

6 afterward He appeared to above five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, and some also fell asleep;

7 afterward He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—He also appeared to me,

9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God,

10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that [is] toward me did not come in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is] with me;

11 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

12 And if Christ is preached, that He has risen out of the dead, how [do] certain among you say that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?

13 And if there is no resurrection of [the] dead, neither has Christ risen;
