1 Corinthians 15:1-11 - Paul's Gospel And The Resurrection Of Christ
1 NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast; 2 by which also ye are saved; if ye cleave to that word I have preached to you, except haply ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest. 7 Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
