For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried, and on the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures. He appeared to Cephas.
Afterwards he appeared to the twelve disciples, and then to more than five hundred brothers at the same time.
Of these, the majority are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. Afterwards, he appeared to James.
After that he appeared to all the apostles. Last of all he appeared to me also, as to one born out of due time (1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and your faith is also useless. (1 Corinthians 15:14)
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept (1 Corinthians 15:19-20)
