1 Corinthians 15:9

---

← 1 Corinthians 15:8	1 Corinthians 15:9 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 15:10 →
And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.	For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.	But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
