7 Then was he seen by James; then by all the sent.

8 And last of all exactly as an abortive, was he also seen by me.

9 For I am the least of the sent, who am not fit to be called sent, for I drove out the church of God.

10 And by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which in me was not vain; but I was more abundantly wearied than they all: and not I, but the grace of God which with me.

11 Whether therefore I or they, so we proclaim, and so ye believed.

13 And if there is no rising up of the dead, neither has Christ risen:
