[1]Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the
good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also
you stand, [2]through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the
message that I proclaimed to you - unless you have come to believe in vain.
[3]For I handed on to you as of first importance what I
in turn had received:
that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the
scriptures, [4]and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the scriptures, [5]and that he appeared to Cephas, then to
the twelve. [6]Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters
at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. [7]Then he
appeared to James, then to all the apostles. [8]Last of all, as to one untimely
born, he appeared also to me. [9]For I am the least of the apostles, unfit 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 toward me has not been in vain. On
the contrary, I worked harder than any of them - though it was not I, but the
grace of God that is with me. [11]Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim
and so you have come to believe.
