3. For I delivered to you first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5. And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve:
6. After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7. After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
8. And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9. For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
