1 Corinthians 15:1-11

English Standard Version

The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now 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.

New King James Version

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality^(A)

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel ^(B)which I preached to you, which also you received and ^(C)in which you stand, ²^(D)by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless ^(E)you believed in vain.

³For ^(F)I delivered to you first of all that ^(G)which I also received: that Christ died for our sins ^(H)according to the Scriptures, ⁴and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ^(I)according to the Scriptures, ⁵^(J)and that He was seen by ^[a]Cephas, then ^(K)by the twelve. ⁶After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have ^[b]fallen asleep. ⁷After that He was seen by James, then ^(L)by all the apostles. ⁸^(M)Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

⁹For I am ^(N)the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because ^(O)I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰But ^(P)by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, ^(Q)yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
