For (A)I delivered to you [a]as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died (B)for our sins (C)according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was (D)raised on the third day (E)according to the Scriptures, and that (F)He appeared to (G)Cephas, then (H)to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some (I)have fallen asleep; then He appeared to [b](J)James, then to (K)all the apostles; and last of all, as [c]to one untimely born, (L)He appeared to me also. For I am (M)the least of the apostles, [d]and not fit to be called an apostle, because I (N)persecuted the church of God. 10 But by (O)the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I (P)labored even more than all of them, yet (Q)not I, but the grace of God with me.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

For I am the least of the apostles, that am 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 laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
