1 Corinthians 15:3-11

Williams(i) 3 For I passed on to you, among the primary principles of the good news, what I had received, that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that He was buried, that on the third day He was raised from the dead, in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve. 6 After that, at one time He was seen by more than five hundred brothers, most of whom are still living, though some of them have fallen asleep. 7 Then He was seen by James, then by all the apostles, and finally 8 He was seen by me, too, as though I were born out of time. 9 For I belong to the lowest rank of the apostles, and am not fit to bear the title apostle, because I once persecuted the church of God. 10 But by God's unmerited favor I have become what I am, and His unmerited favor shown to me was not bestowed for nothing, for I have toiled more extensively than any of them, and yet it was not I but God's unmerited favor working with me. 11 But whether it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
