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

¹ And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood, ² through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain, ³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings, ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, ⁶ afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep; ⁷ afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all -- as to the untimely birth -- he appeared also to me,

⁹ for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, ¹⁰ and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me; ¹¹ whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
