15Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand, ²by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose. ³For I passed on to you as of first importance^a what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, ⁴and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures, ⁵and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, ⁶then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, ⁸and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me. ⁹For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me. ¹¹Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you 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.
