(Rymarenko, 1893-1978)
Moreover, brethren, I
declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in
memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I
delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that
He rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that He was seen
of Cephas [that is, Peter], then of the twelve: after that, He was seen of
above five hundred brethren at once…. After that, He was seen of James; then of
all the apostles. And last of all, He was seen of me also, as to one born out
of due time,” said the Apostle Paul. “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” (I Cor. 15:1-11).
