15Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand^d ²and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.^e ³For I passed on to you^f as most important what I also received: that Christ died^g for our sins according to the Scriptures,^h ⁴that he was buried,ⁱ that he was raised on the third day^j according to the Scriptures,^k ⁵and that he appeared to Cephas,^l then to the Twelve.^m ⁶Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time;ⁿ most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷Then he appeared to James,^o then to all the apostles.^p ⁸Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time,^B^q he also appeared to me.^r

⁹For I am the least of the apostles,^s not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted^t the church of God. ¹⁰But 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, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.^u ¹¹Whether, then, it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.

Read in Logos

1 Corinthians 15:10: 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 that is with me.
