10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.Select 1 Corinthians 15:10
11Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.Select 1 Corinthians 15:11
12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?Select 1 Corinthians 15:12
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:Select 1 Corinthians 15:13
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.Select 1 Corinthians 15:14
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.Select 1 Corinthians 15:15
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:Select 1 Corinthians 15:16
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.Select 1 Corinthians 15:17
18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.Select 1 Corinthians 15:18
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.Select 1 Corinthians 15:19
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.Select 1 Corinthians 15:20
21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.Select 1 Corinthians 15:21
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.Select 1 Corinthians 15:22
