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

¹ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached to you at first, which ye received, and wherein ye stand. ² By which also ye are saved, if ye retain it as I preached it to you: unless indeed ye have believed in vain. ³ For in the first place I delivered to you, that which I also received, to wit, 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 appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain yet alive, but some are fallen asleep. ⁷ Afterwards He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all He appeared to me also, as one born out of due time: for I am the lest of the apostles,

⁹ 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 favor to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. ¹¹ Whether therefore I or they laboured most, thus we preach, and thus ye believed.
