4 that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;
5 that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles.
6 Then he appeared to more than 500 of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died.
7 Then he appeared to James, and afterwards to all the apostles.
8 Last of all he appeared also to me — even though I am like someone whose birth was abnormal.
9 For I am the least of all the apostles — I do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted God's church.
10 But by God's grace I am what I am, and the grace that he gave me was not without effect. On the contrary, I have worked harder than any of the other apostles, although it was not really my own doing, but God's grace working with me.
