³⁰ It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness,^(A) sanctification,^(B) and redemption^(C)—

² I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.^(A)

⁶ yet for us there is one God, the Father.^(A) All things are from him,^(B) and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.^(C)

Resurrection Essential to the Gospel

15 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand^{(A) 2} and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.^{(B) 3} For I passed on to you^(C) as most important what I also received: that Christ died^(D) for our sins according to the Scriptures,^{(E) 4} that he was buried,^(F) that he was raised on the third day^(G) according to the Scriptures,^{(H) 5} and that he appeared to Cephas,^(I) then to the Twelve.^{(J) 6} Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time;^(K) most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ Then he appeared to James,^(L) then to all the apostles.^{(M) 8} Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time,^[a](N) he also appeared to me.^(O)

²⁴ Then comes the end,^(A) when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father,^(B) when he abolishes all rule and all authority and power.^{(C) 25} For he must reign^(D) until he puts all his enemies under his feet.^{(E) 26} The last enemy to be abolished is death.^{(F) 27} For God has put everything under his feet.^[a](G) Now when it says “everything” is put under him, it is obvious that he who puts everything under him is the exception. ²⁸ When everything is subject to Christ, then the Son^(H) himself will also be subject to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.^(I)
