The Gospel of Christ's Resurrection and Paul's Witness
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
1Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you also received and in which you also stand.2Through which you are also saved, if you hold fast the word by which I proclaimed to you, unless you believed in vain.3For I delivered to you among the first things which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the writings,4and that he was buried, and that he has been raised on the third day according to the writings,5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.9For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me did not prove empty; rather, I labored more than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God with me.11Whether therefore it is I or they, thus we preach and thus you believed.
