4 that he was buried and was raised to life on the third day as the Scriptures say;
5 and that he was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles.
6 After that, Jesus was seen by more than five hundred of the believers at the same time. Most of them are still living today, but some have died.
7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.
8 Last of all he was seen by me—as by a person not born at the normal time.
9 All the other apostles are greater than I am. I am not even good enough to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But God’s grace has made me what I am, and his grace to me was not wasted. I worked harder than all the other apostles. (But it was not I really; it was God’s grace that was with me.)
