⁶ yet for us ^(A)there is only one God, ^(B)the Father, ^(C)from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and ^(D)one Lord, Jesus Christ, ^(E)by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

³ For ^(A)I handed down to you ^[a]as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died ^(B)for our sins ^(C)according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He was ^(D)raised on the third day ^(E)according to the Scriptures, ⁵ and that ^(F)He appeared to ^[b](G)Cephas, then ^(H)to the twelve. ⁶ After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some ^(I)have fallen asleep; ⁷ then He appeared to ^[c](J)James, then to ^(K)all the apostles;

²³ but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching ^(A)the faith which he once ^(B)tried to destroy.”

³ concerning His Son, who was born ^(A)of a ^[a]descendant of David ^(B)according to the flesh, ⁴ who was declared ^(C)the Son of God with power according to the ^[b]Spirit of holiness ^[c]by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

^9 [a]that ^(A)if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and ^(B)believe in your heart that ^(C)God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, ^[b]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^[c]resulting in salvation.
