1Now,
brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on
which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to
you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For
what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he
appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the
brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he
appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9 For
I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve 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 without effect. No, I
worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it is I or
they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
