1 Korintus 15:1-4

Christ’s Resurrection

15:1 Now I want to make clear for you, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you – unless you believed in vain. 15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance ³  what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised ⁴  on the third day according to the scriptures,

1 Korintus 15:14-15

15:14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty. 15:15 Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.

[15:1]  ¹ tn Grk “Now I make known to you.”

[15:1]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[15:3]  ³ tn Grk “among (the) first things.”

[15:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “he has been raised/is raised,” using a Greek tense that points to the present effect of the act of raising him. But in English idiom the temporal phrase “on the third day” requires a different translation of the verb.
