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.
10 But God’s kindness made me what I am, and that kindness was not wasted on me. Instead, I worked harder than all the others. It was not I who did it, but God’s kindness was with me.
