1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which you also have received, and wherein ye stand,
2
by which ye also are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you-- unless ye have believed in vain.
3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4
and that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
5
and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,
6
and that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7
After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8
And last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9
For I am the least of the apostles, 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 in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all -- yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
