The Resurrection of Christ

1 Now I would remind you, brothers,¹ of the gospel ^gI preached to you, which you received, ^hin which you stand, 2 and by which ⁱyou are being saved, if you ^jhold fast to the word I preached to you—^kunless you believed in vain.

3 For ^lI delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died ^mfor our sins ⁿin accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised ^oon the third day ^pin accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that ^qhe appeared to Cephas, then ^rto the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to ^sJames, then ^tto all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, ^uhe appeared also to me.

15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

Doxology

25 ^jNow to him who is able to strengthen you ^kaccording to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ^laccording to the revelation of the mystery ^mthat was kept secret for ⁿlong ages 26 but ^ohas now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, ^pto bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to ^qthe only wise God ^rbe glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

15 but ^gin your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, ^halways being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and ⁱrespect,

6 Let your speech always ^jbe gracious, ^kseasoned with salt, ^lso that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

35 For ^dwhoever would save his life¹ will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake ^eand the gospel’s will save it.
