Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
Encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
