1 Corinthians 15:3-11

NSB(i) 3 First of all, I delivered to you what I also received, how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. 4 He was buried, and he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 5 He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. 6 More than five hundred brothers saw him at the same time after that. Most of them remain to this day, but some have fallen asleep [in death]. 7 Then he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles. 8 And last of all I also saw him, as of one with an untimely birth. 9 I am the least of the apostles and do not deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the people of God. 10 By the divine influence of God I am what I am. His grace was not given to me in vain for I labored more than all of them. Yet it was not I. It was the divine influence and favor of God in me. 11 Therefore whether they preached or I preached, you believed.
