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

¹ Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which ye stand; ² By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have 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 After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, 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 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 Therefore whether it was I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
