Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

1 Corinthians 14
⁴⁰ But be sure that everything is done properly and in order.
1 Corinthians 15
¹ Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it.
² It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.
³ I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.
⁴ He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.
⁵ He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve.
⁶ After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
⁷ Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.
⁸ Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.
⁹ For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church.
¹⁰ But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.
