1 Corinthians 15:1-9

1Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the Good News which I proclaimed to you. You also received it, and you took your stand on it,

2and by it you are being saved if you hold firm to the word I proclaimed to you—unless you believed without proper consideration.

3For I also passed on to you first of all what I also received— that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

5and that He appeared to Kefa, then to the Twelve.

6Then He appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time— most of them are still alive, though some have died.

7Then He appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,

8and last of all, as to one untimely born, He also appeared to me.

9For I am the least of the emissaries, unworthy to be called an emissary because I persecuted God’s community.
