1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Ordinary C11
1 Now I would remindA you, brothersB and sisters, of the good newsC that I proclaimedD to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand,
2 through which also you are being saved,E if you hold firmlyF to the messageG that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believeH in vain.I
3 For I handed onJ to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that ChristK diedL for our sinsM in accordance with the scriptures,N
4 and that he was buried,O and that he was raisedP on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, 5 and that he appearedQ to Cephas,R then to the twelve.
6 ThenS he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive,T though some have died.U 7 Then he appeared to James,V then to all the apostles.W
8 Last of all, as to one untimely born,X he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the leastY of the apostles, unfitZ to be called an apostle, because I persecutedAA the churchBB of God.CC
10 But by the graceDD of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not beenEE in vain.FF On the contrary, I workedGG harderHH than any of them—though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaimII and so you have come to believe.
