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

¹ Moreover, brethren, I declare anew to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand, ² by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the same word which I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Scriptures; ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. ⁶ After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all, as to one born out of due time, he appeared also to me.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, one 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 his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Whether, then, it were I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye believed.
