Now ^(C1)I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the ^(C2)gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, ^(C3)in which you also stand,

by which you also are saved, ^(C1)if you hold firmly to ^(F1)the word which I preached to you, ^(C2)unless you believed in vain.

For ^(C1)I handed down to you ^(F1)as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died ^(C2)for our sins ^(C3)according to the Scriptures,

and that He was buried, and that He was ^(C1)raised on the third day ^(C2)according to the Scriptures,

and that ^(C1)He appeared to ^(F1)(C2)Cephas, then ^(C3)to the twelve.

After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some ^(C1)have fallen asleep;

then He appeared to ^(F1)(C1)James, then to ^(C2)all the apostles;

and last of all, as ^(F1)to one untimely born, ^(C1)He appeared to me also.

For I am ^(C1)the least of the apostles, ^(F1)and not fit to be called an apostle, because I ^(C2)persecuted the church of God.

But by ^(C1)the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I ^(C2)labored even more than all of them, yet ^(C3)not I, but the grace of God with me.

Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
