After that
appeared he to Iames, then to all the Apostles.
And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of
due time. For I am the least of all the Apostles, which am not worthy
to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of
God: But by the faveour of God I am that I am. And his faveour which
is in me was not in vain: but I laboured more abundantly than they
all, not I, but the faveour of God which is with me. Whether it were
I or they, so have we preach, and so have ye believed.
If Christ be preached how that he rose from death: how say some
that are among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? If
there be no rising again of death: then is Christ not risen. If
Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is
also in vain. Yee, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we
have testified against God how that he raised up Christ, whom he
raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again. For if
the dead rise not again, then is Christ not risen again. If it be so
that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye
in your sins. And they which are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we of all men the
miserablest.
