1 Corinthians 15:1-9
Wycliffe Bible
15 Soothly, brethren, I make the gospel known to you, which I have preached to you, which also ye have taken, in which [and] ye stand,
2 by which also ye shall be saved [by which and ye be saved]; by which reason I have preached to you, if ye hold, if ye have not believed idly.
3 For I betook to you at the beginning that thing which also I have received; that Christ was dead for our sins, by the scriptures;[a]
4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again in the third day, after [the] scriptures;
5 and that he was seen to Cephas, and after these things to eleven;
6 afterward he was seen to more than five hundred brethren together, of which many live yet, but some be dead[b];
7 afterward he was seen to James, and afterward to all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen also to me, as to a dead born child [as to a mis-born child].
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not worthy to be called apostle, for I pursued the church of God.

New Matthew Bible
The resurrection of the dead.
15 Brethren, as pertaining to the gospel that I preached to you, which you have also accepted, and in which you continue, 2 by which also you are saved, I call to your mind how I preached to you – if you keep it, unless you have believed in vain. 3 For first of all I delivered to you that which I received: how Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day in accordance with the scriptures; 5 and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that he was seen by more than 500 brethren at once, of whom many remain to this day, and many have fallen asleep. 7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen by me, as by one who was born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of all the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God.

1 Corinthians 15:1-9
1599 Geneva Bible
15 1 The Gospel that Paul preached. 3 The death and resurrection of Christ. 8 Paul saw Christ. 9 He had persecuted that Church, whereof afterward he was made a minister. 12 Christ first rose again, and we all shall rise by him. 26 The last enemy, death. 29 To be baptized for dead. 32 At Ephesus Paul fought with beasts. 35 How the dead are raised. 45 The first Adam. The last Adam, 47 The first and second man. 51 We shall all be changed, we shall not all sleep. 55 Death’s sting. 57 Victory. 58 Constancy and steadfastness.
1 Moreover (A)[a]brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which ye have also received, and wherein ye [b]continue,
2 And whereby ye are saved, if ye keep in memory, after what manner I preached it unto you, [c]except ye have believed in vain.
3 For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the (B)Scriptures,
4 And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the (C)Scriptures,
5 (D)And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the [d]twelve.
6 After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at [e]once: whereof many remain unto this present, and some also are asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James: then of all the Apostles.
8 (E)[f]And last of all he was seen also of me, as of one born out of due time.
9 (F)For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meet to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.

- 1 Corinthians 15:1 The sixth treatise of this Epistle, concerning the resurrection: and he useth a transition, or passing over from one matter to another, showing first that he bringeth no new thing, to the end that the Corinthians might understand that they had begun to swerve from the right course: and next that he goeth not about to entreat of a trifling matter, but of another chief point of the Gospel, which if it be taken away, their faith must needs come to nought. And so at the length he beginneth this treatise at Christ’s resurrection, which is the ground and foundation of ours, and confirmeth it first by the testimony of the Scriptures, and by the witness of the Apostles, and of more than five hundred brethren, and last of all his own.
- 1 Corinthians 15:1 In the profession whereof you continue yet.
- 1 Corinthians 15:2 Which is very absurd, and cannot be, but that they believe, must reap the fruit of faith.
- 1 Corinthians 15:5 Of those twelve picked and chosen Apostles, which were commonly called twelve, though Judas was put out of the number.
- 1 Corinthians 15:6 Not fewer all times, but together and at one instant.
- 1 Corinthians 15:8 He maintaineth by the way, the authority of his Apostleship, which was requisite to be in good credit among the Corinthians, that this Epistle might be of force and weight amongst them. In the mean season he compareth himself to such sort after a certain divine art with certain others, that he maketh himself inferior to them all.
