1Corinthians 15:3,19 For I deliver unto you first of all that which I all so received, [Paul speaking to theCorinthians] how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; And that He was buried and roses again the third day according to the Scriptures. [The risen Christ is our hope] 12, Now if Christ is preach that He was raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain. Because we have testified that God raised up Jesus from the dead, if He did not raised Him up, we would be found to be false witness; and those that have falling a sleep in Christ, perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all Men most miserable.
1Corinthians 15:20-22 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by Man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Christ the fristfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. O death where is Sting O grave where is thy Victory? Christ Resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith. So we who are saved, can say thanks be to God who gives us the victory.
