1 Corinthians 15 — Context

7

Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8

Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

9

For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them– yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

11

Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed.

12

No Resurrection? Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

13

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
