Resurrection Power!

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

The Resurrection of Christ 

15 Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand,

² through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in vain.

³ For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,

⁴ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁶ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.

⁷ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

⁸ Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

¹¹ Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.
