"...what I received I passed on to you
as of first importance:
that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
that He was buried,
that He was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures."
1 Corinthians 15:3-4

"If there is no resurrection of the dead,
then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ has not been raised,
our preaching is useless and so is your faith."
1 Corinthians 15: 13-14

"But, Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,
the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep;
For, since death came through a man,
the resurrection of the dead comes also through a Man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
But, each in his own turn: Christ, the Firstfruits;
then when He comes, those who belong to Him."
1 Corinthians 15: 20-23
