1 Corinthians 15:8

Grace

6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
