The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone's secret life. This is my message.

However, God released him from the horrors of death and raised him back to life again, for death could not keep him in its grip.

So it makes no difference whether I preach or they preach. The important thing is that you believed what we preached to you.
But tell me this--since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead?
For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either.

Now let me remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then and still do now, for your faith is built on this wonderful message.

God is able to make you strong, just as the Good News says. It is the message about Jesus Christ and his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time.
