*
And that he was seen of Cephas ,
then of the twelve :
*
After that ,
he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once ;
of whom the greater part remain unto this present ,
but some are fallen asleep .
*
After that ,
he was seen of James ;
then of all the apostles .
*
And last of all he was seen of me also ,
as of one born out of due time .
*
For I am the least of the apostles ,
that am not meet to be called an apostle ,
because I persecuted the church of God .
*
But 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 .
*
Therefore whether it were I or they ,
so we preach ,
and so ye believed .
*
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead ,
how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead ?
*
But if there be no resurrection of the dead ,
then is Christ not risen :
*
And if Christ be not risen ,
then is our preaching vain ,
and your faith is also vain .
*
Yea ,
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 .
*
For if the dead rise not ,
then is not Christ raised :
*
And if Christ be not raised ,
your faith is vain ;
ye are yet in your sins .
*
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished .
*
If in this life only we have hope in Christ ,
we are of all men most miserable .
