Of First Importance
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures… (1 Corinthians 15.3)
…if Christ has not been raised, then our peaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. (1 Corinthians 15.14)
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. (1 Corinthians 15.20-21)
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. (1 Corinthians 15.49)
