1 Corinthians 15:1-10 ▼

1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy 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 to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
