1 Corinthians 15:1-13 ▼

1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the Gospel which I proclaimed to you, which also ye received, in which also ye have been standing;

2 through which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I proclaimed to you, unless ye believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you, among the first things , that which also I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;

4 and that He was buried, and that He hath been raised on the third day according to the Scriptures;

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

6 after that He appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some fell asleep.

7 After that He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

8 and, last of all, as to one born out of time, He appeared to me also.

9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

10 But by God's grace I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me did not prove vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Whether, therefore, it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

12 Now if Christ is preached, that He hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead.

13 But, if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised;
