4. He was buried. He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as Scripture said he would be.
5. He appeared to Peter. Then he appeared to the Twelve.
6. After that, he appeared to more than 500 believers at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died.
7. He appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.
8. Last of all, he also appeared to me. I was like someone who wasn't born at the right time or in a normal way.
9. I am the least important of the apostles. I'm not even fit to be called an apostle. I tried to destroy God's church.
10. But because of God's grace I am what I am. And his grace was not wasted on me. No, I have worked harder than all the other apostles. But I didn't do the work. God's grace was with me.
