1 Corinthians 15: 1 - 11
|
| 1
|
Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,
|
| 2
|
by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain.
|
| 3
|
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,
|
| 4
|
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,
|
| 5
|
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
|
| 6
|
Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
|
| 7
|
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
|
| 8
|
Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
|
| 9
|
For I am the least of the apostles, unfit 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 toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
|
| 11
|
Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
