- “We preach Christ crucified” (1 Cor. 1:23)
• “For no-one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 3:11)
• “I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3-4)
