LEB(i)
4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy 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 to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me.
11 Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you believed.
12 Now if Christ is preached as raised up from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised either.
14 But if Christ has not been raised, then* our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.
15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either.
17 But if Christ has not been raised, your faith is empty; you are still in your sins.
18 And as a further result, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If ⌊we have put our hope⌋* in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 For since through a man came death, also through a man came the resurrection of the dead.
