1 Corinthians 15:1-11 (English Standard Version)

1 Corinthians 15

The Resurrection of Christ

 ¹Now I would remind you, brothers,^[a] of the gospel^(A) I preached to you, which you received,^(B) in which you stand, ²and by which^(C) you are being saved, if you^(D) hold fast to the word I preached to you—^(E) unless you believed in vain.

 ³For^(F) I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died^(G) for our sins^(H) in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴that he was buried, that he was raised^(I) on the third day^(J) in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵and that^(K) he appeared to Cephas, then^(L) to the twelve. ⁶Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. ⁷Then he appeared to^(M) James, then^(N) to all the apostles. ⁸Last of all, as to one untimely born,^(O) he appeared also to me. ⁹For^(P) I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because^(Q) I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary,^(R) I worked harder than any of them,^(S) though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. ¹¹Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
