The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now I would remind you, brothers,^[a] of the gospel ^(A)I preached to you, which you received, ^(B)in which you stand, ² and by which ^(C)you are being saved, if you ^(D)hold fast to the word I preached to you—^(E)unless you believed in vain.

³ For ^(F)I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died ^(G)for our sins ^(H)in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised ^(I)on the third day ^(J)in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵ and that ^(K)he appeared to Cephas, then ^(L)to the twelve.

¹³ In him you also, when you heard ^(A)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, ^(B)were sealed with the ^(C)promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is ^(D)the guarantee^[a] of our ^(E)inheritance until ^(F)we acquire ^(G)possession of it,^{[b] (H)}to the praise of his glory.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(A)far off have been brought near ^(B)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For ^(C)he himself is our peace, ^(D)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(E)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(F)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(G)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(H)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(I)preached peace to you who were ^(J)far off and peace to those who were ^(K)near. ¹⁸ For ^(L)through him we both have ^(M)access in ^(N)one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(O)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(P)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(Q)members of the household of God, ^20 (R)built on the foundation of the ^(S)apostles and prophets, ^(T)Christ Jesus himself being ^(U)the cornerstone, ^21 (V)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(W)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(X)you also are being built together ^(Y)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.

¹³ He ^(A)has delivered us from ^(B)the domain of darkness and transferred us to ^(C)the kingdom of ^(D)his beloved Son, ^14 (E)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
