6. 1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the
gospel I preached to you, which you received and on
which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you
are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to
you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received 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, and that

to save the world through him.

13. Luke 9:23-25
Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants
to be my disciple must deny themselves
and take up their cross daily and follow
me. For whoever wants to save their life
will lose it, but whoever loses their life for
me will save it. What good is it for
someone to gain the whole world, and yet
lose or forfeit their very self?
