1 Corinthians 15:1–11

The Resurrection of Christ

15Now I would remind you, brothers,¹ of the gospel ^gI preached to you, which you received, ^hin which you stand, ²and by which ⁱyou are being saved, if you ^jhold fast to the word I preached to you—^kunless you believed in vain.

³For ^lI delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died ^mfor our sins ⁿin accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴that he was buried, that he was raised ^oon the third day ^pin accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵and that ^qhe appeared to Cephas, then ^rto the twelve. ⁶Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. ⁷Then he appeared to ^sJames, then ^tto all the apostles. ⁸Last of all, as to one untimely born, ^uhe appeared also to me. ⁹For ^vI am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because ^wI persecuted 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, ^xI worked harder than any of them, ^ythough it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. ¹¹Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
