1. Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2. by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah 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 Kefa, then to the twelve.
6. Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7. Then he appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,
8. and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9. For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
