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.
