1 Corinthians 15:4-14 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
4
that he was buried,1 that he was raised2 on the third day3 according to the Scriptures,4
5
and that he appeared to Peter,a5 and then to the Twelve.6
6
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.7
7
Then he appeared to James,8 then to all the apostles,9
8
and last of all he appeared to me also,10 as to one abnormally born.
9
For I am the least of the apostles11 and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted12 the church of God.13
10
But by the grace14 of God I am what I am, and his grace to me15 was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them16--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.17
11
Whether, then, it was I or they,18 this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
The Resurrection of the Dead
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead,19 how can some of you say that there is no resurrection20 of the dead?21 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised,22 our preaching is useless and so is your faith.Scripture quoted by permission.
