Daily Bible CEV April 18 Verses

Christ Was Raised to Life

1 Corinthians 15 My friends, I want you to remember the message that I preached and that you believed and trusted. ²You will be saved by this message, if you hold firmly to it. But if you don't, your faith was all for nothing.

³I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is:

Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say.

⁴He was buried, and three days later

he was raised to life, as the Scriptures say.

⁵Christ appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.

⁶After this, he appeared

to more than five hundred other followers.

Most of them are still alive, but some have died.

⁷He also appeared to James,

and then to all of the apostles.

⁸Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time.

⁹I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God's church that I don't even deserve to be called an apostle. ¹⁰But God was kind! He made me what I am, and his wonderful kindness wasn't wasted. I worked much harder than any of the other apostles, although it was really God's kindness at work and not me. ¹¹But it doesn't matter if I preached or if they preached. All of you believed the message just the same.
