'Good news' in the Bible

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them.

For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

Even so did the Lord give orders that the preachers of the good news might get their living from the good news.

For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,

Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.
