27. 1 Corinthians 15:3 and Romans 5:8.
And it should be noted that Paul declared himself a chief sinner in 1 Timothy 1:15:

"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

Do I believe the New Testament is open to interpretation? absolutely, the time and place should be taken into consideration when reading it. I also believe that people really should debate the interpretation of the New Testament along with reading outside sources and commentaries. One issue I see with some of the fringe religious groups is they read the Bible without understanding any of the historical context of the Bible or studying the Greek and Hebrew words that were originally used.
