The Resurrection of Christ
1
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel a which I preached to you, which also you received and b in which you stand,
2
c by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you - unless d you believed in vain.
3
For e I delivered to you first of all that f which I also received: that Christ died for our sins g according to the Scriptures,
4
and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day h according to the Scriptures,
5
i and that He was seen by Cephas, then j by the twelve.
6
After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

l Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9
For I am m the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because n I persecuted the church of God.
10
But o by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, p yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11
Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
