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

¹ Now, brothers, I would have you know the gospel I once preached to you, the gospel you received, the gospel in which you have your footing, ² the gospel by which you are saved ??provided you adhere to my statement of it ??unless indeed your faith was all haphazard. ³ First and foremost, I passed on to you what I had myself received, namely, that Christ died for our sins as the scriptures had said, ⁴ that he was buried, that he rose on the third day as the scriptures had said, ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve; ⁶ after that, he was seen by over five hundred brothers all at once, the majority of whom survive to this day, though some have died; ⁷ after that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles, ⁸ and finally he was seen by myself, by this so-called 'abortion' of an apostle.

⁹ For I am the very least of the apostles, unfit to bear the name of apostle, since I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by God's grace I am what I am. The grace he showed me did not go for nothing; no, I have done far more work than all of them ??though it was not I but God's grace at my side. ¹¹ At any rate, whether I or they have done most, such is what we preach, such is what you believed.
