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

¹ I DECLARE to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which also you stand, ² by which also you are saved, if you adhere to the word we preached to you, unless indeed you believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you at first, what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose on the third day according to the Scriptures, ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. ⁶ Afterwards he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom the most continue even to the present time, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, ⁸ and last of all he appeared to me also, as one born out of due time.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and 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 his grace to me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, but not I but the grace of God with me. ¹¹ Whether therefore it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
