1 Corinthians 15:9-10
9 For I am the least of the apostles, a unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted b the church of God. 10 But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me. c 1 Corinthians 15:14-19
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith. ▼▼Or proclamation is useless, and your faith also is useless, or proclamation is empty, and your faith also is empty
15In addition, we are found to be false witnesses e about God, because we have testified f about God that He raised up Christ – whom He did not raise up if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Therefore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ g have also perished. 19 If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone. Galatians 1:1-3
