⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, ^(A)risen from the dead, the ^(B)offspring of David, ^(C)as preached in my gospel,

^16 (A)on that day when, ^(B)according to my gospel, God judges ^(C)the secrets of men ^(D)by Christ Jesus.

^24 (A)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ^(B)it was not possible for him to be held by it.

¹⁴ To this he called you through ^(A)our gospel, ^(B)so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead

¹² Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, ^(A)how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^(B)then not even Christ has been raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. ¹⁵ We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that ^(C)he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. ¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and ^(D)you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then those also who ^(E)have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in Christ we have hope^[a] in this life only, ^(F)we are of all people most to be pitied.

²⁰ But in fact ^(G)Christ has been raised from the dead, ^(H)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

1 ^(A)The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, ^(B)the son of David, ^(C)the son of Abraham.

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ^(A)who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising ^(B)the shame, and ^(C)is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do Not Grow Weary

^3 (D)Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or ^(E)fainthearted.

^7 (A)For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (^(B)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), ^(C)a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised ^(A)on the third day ^(B)in accordance with the Scriptures,
