Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

The resurrection of the dead.

15 Brethren, as pertaining to the gospel that I preached to you, which you have also accepted, and in which you continue, ² by which also you are saved, I call to your mind how I preached to you – if you keep it, unless you have believed in vain. ³ For first of all I delivered to you that which I received: how Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day in accordance with the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. ⁶ After that he was seen by more than 500 brethren at once, of whom many remain to this day, and many have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

⁸ And last of all he was seen by me, as by one who was born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of all the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me was not in vain, but I laboured more greatly than them all – yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me. ¹¹ Whether then it was I or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.
