1

Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,

2

by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.

3

For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures

4

and that he was buried and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures

5

and that he appeared to Cephas then to the twelve

6

then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep

7

then he appeared to James then to all the apostles

8

and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.

9

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet 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 which was bestowed upon me was not found vain but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11

Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
