4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest.
7 Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to 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.
11 Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:
14 and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.
15 Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen:
17 and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
