1 Corinthians 15:2

The Risen Christ, Faith’s Reality

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel ^awhich I preached to you, which also you received and ^bin which you stand,

2 ^aby which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless ^byou believed in vain.

3 For ^aI delivered to you first of all that ^bwhich I also received: that Christ died for our sins ^caccording to the Scriptures,

4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ^aaccording to the Scriptures,

5 ^aand that He was seen by¹ Cephas, then ^bby the twelve.

6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have¹ fallen asleep.

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.
