我當日所領受又傳給你們的:第一,就是基督照聖經所說,為我們的罪死了, 而且埋葬了;又照聖經所說,第三天復活了, 並且顯給磯法看,然後顯給十二使徒看; 後來一時顯給五百多弟兄看,其中一大半到如今還在,卻也有已經睡了的。 以後顯給雅各看,再顯給眾使徒看, 末了也顯給我看;我如同未到產期而生的人一般。

我原是使徒中最小的,不配稱為使徒,因為我從前逼迫 神的教會。 然而,我今日成了何等人,是蒙 神的恩才成的,並且他所賜我的恩不是徒然的。我比眾使徒格外勞苦;這原不是我,乃是 神的恩與我同在。 (哥林多前書15:3-10 和合本)

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born...

For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (1 Corinthians15:3-10 NIV)

他死是向罪死了,只有一次;他活是向 神活著。 這樣,你們向罪也當看自己是死的;向 神在基督耶穌里,卻當看自己是活的。(羅馬書6:10-11 和合本)
The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (Romans6:10-11 NIV)

所以,你們若真與基督一同復活,就當求在上面的事;那裡有基督坐在 神的右邊。 你們要思念上面的事,不要思念地上的事。 因為你們已經死了,你們的生命與基督一同藏在 神裡面。 基督是我們的生命,他顯現的時候,你們也要與他一同顯現在榮耀里。(歌羅西書3:1-4 和合本).

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians3:1-4 NIV)
