The Resurrection of Christ

⁵ and that _q he appeared to Cephas, then _r to the twelve. ⁶ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. ⁷ Then he appeared to _s James, then _t to all the apostles. ⁸ Last of all, as to one untimely born, _u he appeared also to me. ⁹ For _v I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because _w I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, _x I worked harder than any of them, _y though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. ¹¹ Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
