1 Corinthians 15:5-11

Christ Is Risen, the Dead Will Be Raised, and Death Will Be Destroyed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5 and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
