I passed on to you first of all
what I also had received,
That Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures,
That He was buried, that He arose
on the third day as the Scriptures
foretold,
And that He appeared to Peter, than
to the Twelve.
Then later He showed Himself to more
than five hundred brothers and sisters
at one time, the majority of whom are
still alive, but some have fallen asleep.
Afterward He was seen by James, then
by all the apostles,
And last of all He appeared to me also,
as to one prematurely and born dead.
For I am the least of the apostles, who
am not fit or deserving to be called an
apostle, because I once wronged the
church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am,
and His grace toward me was not for
nothing. In fact, I worked harder than
all of them, though it was not really I,
but the grace of God which was in me.
So, whether then it was I or they, this
is what we preach and this is what you
believed.
(I. Corinthians 15.3-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
