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

¹ But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing, ² through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it--unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first. ³ For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; ⁴ that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵ and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve. ⁶ Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep. ⁷ Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles. ⁸ And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also.

⁹ For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called an Apostle--because I persecuted the Church of God. ¹⁰ But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest--yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me. ¹¹ But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.
