News
1 Co 15:1 I reveal then to you, brothers, the good news, which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
1 Co 15:2 by which also you are saved, this word I preached to you if you retain it, else if not you believed in vain.
1 Co 15:3 For I delivered to you in first things, what also I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
1 Co 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the scriptures,
1 Co 15:5 and that He was seen by Kephás then the twelve;
1 Co 15:6 thereupon He was seen by more than five hundred brothers at once, from which the many remain until now, some then slept;
1 Co 15:7 thereupon He was seen by Jacob, then all the apostles;
1 Co 15:8 last then of all as though to one untimely born He was seen also by me.
Paul the Apostle
