1 Corinthians 15:2-11
New International Version
2 By this gospel you are saved,(A) if you hold firmly(B) to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received(C) I passed on to you(D) as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins(E) according to the Scriptures,(F) 4 that he was buried,(G) that he was raised(H) on the third day(I) according to the Scriptures,(J) 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b](K) and then to the Twelve.(L) 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.(M) 7 Then he appeared to James,(N) then to all the apostles,(O) 8 and last of all he appeared to me also,(P) as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles(Q) and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(R) the church of God.(S) 10 But by the grace(T) of God I am what I am, and his grace to me(U) was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them(V)—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.(W) 11 Whether, then, it is I or they,(X) this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

King James Version
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet 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 which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
