day in accordance with the Scriptures,
015:005 and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve.
015:006 Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren
at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them
have now fallen asleep.
015:007 Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles.
015:008 And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared
to me also.
015:009 For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called
an Apostle--because I persecuted the Church of God.
015:010 But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace
bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored
more strenuously than all the rest--yet it was not I,
but God's grace working with me.
015:011 But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and
the way that you came to believe.
015:012 But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead,
how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing
as a resurrection of the dead?
015:013 If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead,
then Christ Himself has not risen to life.
015:014 And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach
is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.
015:015 Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false
witness about God, because we have testified that God raised
Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none
of the dead are raised.
015:016 For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ
has not risen;
015:017 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing--
