1 Timothy 1:8-13 NKJV


1 Corinthians 15:1-28 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,


by which also you were saved, if you hole fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.


For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,


and that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures


and that He was seen by Cephas, then the twelve,


After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.


After that He as seen by James, then by the apostles.


Then last of all He was seen by me also, as one born out of due time.


For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy 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 toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.


Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.


Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection from the dead?


But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen,


And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty  and you faith is also empty.


Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ,  whom He did not raise up-- If in fact the dead do not rise.


For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.


And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile, you ares till in your sins!


Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.


If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.


But know Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.


For since by man came death, by Man also came  the resurrection of the dead.


For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.


But each one in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, afterward those who are Christ's at his coming.


The comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom of God the Father, when He puts and end to all rule and all authority and power;


For He must reign til He has put  enemies under His feet.


The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.


For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says "all things are put under Him,"it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.


Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who puts all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
