1 Corinthians 15:9

7 After that He was seen by James, then ^aby all the apostles.

8 ^aThen last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 For I am ^athe least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because ^bI persecuted the church of God.

10 But ^aby 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, ^byet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
