3 I passed on to you the most important points of doctrine that I had received:Christ died to take away our sins as the Scriptures predicted.
4 He was placed in a tomb.He was brought back to life on the third day as the Scriptures predicted.
5 He appeared to Cephas. Next he appeared to the twelve apostles.
6 Then he appeared to more than 500 believers at one time. (Most of these people are still living, but some have died.)
7 Next he appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.
8 Last of all, he also appeared to me.I’m like an aborted fetus ⌊who was given life⌋.
9 I’m the least of the apostles. I’m not even fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted God’s church.
