In the first two verses of 1 Corinthians chapter 15, Paul sets the theme of his discussion: “I make known to you, brothers, the good news which I declared to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, through which you are also being saved,... unless, in fact, you became believers to no purpose. ”
Esimeses kirjas korintlastele 15. peatüki kahes esimeses salmis paneb Paulus paika oma arutluse teema: ” Ma juhin teie tähelepanu evangeeliumile, mida ma teile kuulutasin, mille te ka vastu võtsite ja milles ka püsite ning milles te ka õndsaks saate.. olgu siis, et asjata saite usklikuks. ”
