1 Corinthians 15:1-6

1 And now I want to remind you, my friends, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm.

2 That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it - unless it was for nothing that you believed.

3 I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures;

4 that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;

5 that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles.

6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57

54 So when this takes place, and the mortal has been changed into the immortal, then the scripture will come true: "Death is destroyed; victory is complete!"

55 "Where, Death, is your victory? Where, Death, is your power to hurt?"

56 Death gets its power to hurt from sin, and sin gets its power from the Law.

57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
