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

¹ Now I am calling to your remembrance, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you have taken your stand, ² by which also you are saved, if you are holding fast the message which I preached to you; unless indeed you have believed in vain. ³ For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, ⁴ that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures, ⁵ and was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve. ⁶ Afterward he was seen at one time by more than five hundred brethren, most of whom are still alive, but some are fallen asleep. ⁷ Then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles, ⁸ and last of all, as by one born out of due time, he was seen by me also.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy 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 that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me. ¹¹ But whether it is I or they, thus do I preach, and thus you came to believe.
