1 Corinthians 15:1-9

1Now 1I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the 2gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, 3in which you also stand, 2by which you also are saved, 4if you hold firmly to 5the word which I preached to you, 6unless you believed in vain.

3For 7I handed down to you 8as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died 9for our sins 10according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He was 11raised on the third day 12according to the Scriptures, 5and that 13He appeared to 1415Cephas, then 16to the twelve. 6After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some 17have fallen asleep; 7then He appeared to 1819James, then to 20all the apostles; 8and last of all, as 21to one untimely born, 22He appeared to me also. 9For I am 23the least of the apostles, 24and not fit to be called an apostle, because I 25persecuted the church of God.
