Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received and wherein you stand. 2By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: 4And that he was buried: and that he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures: 5And that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. 6Then was he seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. 7After that, he was seen by James: then by all the apostles. 8And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due tine. 9For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me hath not been void: but I have laboured more abundantly than all they. Yet not I, but the grace of God with me: 11For whether I or they, so we preach: and so you have believed.
