1 Corinthians 15:1-11
1
Now, brothers, I must remind you of the Good News which I proclaimed to you, and which you received, and on which you have taken your stand,
2
and by which you are being saved — provided you keep holding fast to the message I proclaimed to you. For if you don’t, your trust will have been in vain.
3
For among the first things I passed on to you was what I also received, namely this: the Messiah died for our sins, in accordance with what the Tanakh says;
4
and he was buried; and he was raised on the third day, in accordance with what the Tanakh says;
5
and he was seen by Kefa, then by the Twelve;
6
and afterwards he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, the majority of whom are still alive, though some have died.
7
Later he was seen by Ya‘akov, then by all the emissaries;
8
and last of all he was seen by me, even though I was born at the wrong time.
9
For I am the least of all the emissaries, unfit to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the Messianic Community of God.
10
But by God’s grace I am what I am, and his grace towards me was not in vain; on the contrary, I have worked harder than all of them, although it was not I but the grace of God with me.
11
Anyhow, whether I or they, this is what we proclaim, and this is what you believed.
