1 Corinthians 15:1-11 - Paul's Gospel And The Resurrection Of Christ

¹ And, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and in which you stand; ² by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also 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 by Cephas, then by the Twelve. ⁶ Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep. ⁷ Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all He was seen by me also, as one born out of time.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles and am not sufficient 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 toward me has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God with me. ¹¹ Therefore whether it was I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
