1 Corinthians 15:3

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel ^awhich I preached to you, which also you received and ^bin which you stand,

2 ^aby which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless ^byou believed in vain.

3 For ^aI delivered to you first of all that ^bwhich I also received: that Christ died for our sins ^caccording to the Scriptures,

4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ^aaccording to the Scriptures,

5 ^aand that He was seen by¹ Cephas, then ^bby the twelve.

6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have¹ fallen asleep.

7 After that He was seen by James, then ^aby all the apostles.

8 ^aThen last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 For I am ^athe least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because ^bI persecuted the church of God.

10 But ^aby the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, ^byet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Risen Christ, Our Hope

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

13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^athen Christ is not risen.
