NSB(i)
4 He was buried, and he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
5 He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles.
6 More than five hundred brothers saw him at the same time after that. Most of them remain to this day, but some have fallen asleep [in death].
7 Then he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles.
8 And last of all I also saw him, as of one with an untimely birth.
9 I am the least of the apostles and do not deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the people of God.
10 By the divine influence of God I am what I am. His grace was not given to me in vain for I labored more than all of them. Yet it was not I. It was the divine influence and favor of God in me.
11 Therefore whether they preached or I preached, you believed.
12 If we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is also without value.
15 We are found to be false witnesses of God because we have testified that God raised Christ from the dead. If he did not raise him up from the dead then the dead are not raised up.
16 For if the dead are not raised up then Christ has not been raised.
17 And if Christ is not resurrected, your faith is worth nothing, and you are still in your sins.
18 Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (pitiable).
20 Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who slept [in death].
21 Death came because of what one man did. The resurrection of the dead also comes because of what one man did.
