Daily Bible GNT April 18 Verses

The Resurrection of Christ

1 Corinthians 15 And now I want to remind you, my friends, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm. ²That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it--unless it was for nothing that you believed.

³I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; ⁴that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures; ⁵that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles. ⁶Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died. ⁷Then he appeared to James, and afterward to all the apostles.

⁸Last of all he appeared also to me--even though I am like someone whose birth was abnormal. ⁹For I am the least of all the apostles--I do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted God's church. ¹⁰But by God's grace I am what I am, and the grace that he gave me was not without effect. On the contrary, I have worked harder than any of the other apostles, although it was not really my own doing, but God's grace working with me. ¹¹So then, whether it came from me or from them, this is what we all preach, and this is what you believe.
