1 Corinthians - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
- By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
- For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:

- And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.
- Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
- If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
- But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep :
