* And that he was buried (5648 ), and that he rose again (5769 ) the third day according to the scriptures : * And that he was seen (5681 ) of Cephas , then of the twelve : * After that , he was seen (5681 ) of above five hundred brethren at once ; of whom the greater part remain (5719 ) unto this present , but some are fallen asleep (5681 ). * After that , he was seen (5681 ) of James ; then of all the apostles . * And last of all he was seen (5681 ) of me also , as of one born out of due time . * For I am (5748 ) the least of the apostles , that am (5748 ) not meet to be called (5745 ) an apostle , because I persecuted (5656 ) the church of God . * But by the grace of God I am (5748 ) what I am (5748 ): and his grace which was bestowed upon me was (5675 ) not in vain ; but I laboured (5656 ) more abundantly than they all : yet not I , but the grace of God which was with me . * Therefore whether it were I or they , so we preach (5719 ), and so ye believed (5656 ). * Now if Christ be preached (5743 ) that he rose (5769 ) from the dead , how say (5719 ) some among you that there is (5748 ) no resurrection of the dead ? * But if there be (5748 ) no resurrection of the dead , then is Christ not risen (5769 ): * And if Christ be not risen (5769 ), then is our preaching vain , and your faith is also vain . * Yea , and we are found (5743 ) false witnesses of God ; because we have testified (5656 ) of God that he raised up (5656 ) Christ : whom he raised not up (5656 ), if so be that the dead rise (5743 ) not . * For if the dead rise (5743 ) not , then is not Christ raised (5769 ): * And if Christ be not raised (5769 ), your faith is vain ; ye are (5748 ) yet in your sins . * Then they also which are fallen asleep (5685 ) in Christ are perished (5639 ). * If in this life only we have hope (5761 ) (5748 ) in Christ , we are (5748 ) of all men most miserable . * But now is Christ risen (5769 ) from the dead , and become (5633 ) the firstfruits of them that slept (5772 ). * For since by man came death , by man came also the resurrection of the dead .
