15 ¹ AND NOW, MY BROTHERS. I must remind you of the gospel that I preached to you; the gospel which you received, on which you have taken your stand, and which is now bringing you salvation. 15 ² Do you still hold fast the Gospel as I preached it to you? If not, your conversion was in vain. Or: Do you remember the terms in which I preached the Gospel to you?—for I assume you did not accept it thoughtlessly.

15 ³ First and foremost, I handed on to you the facts which had been imparted to me: that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures; 15 ⁴ that he was buried; that he was raised to life on the third day, according to the scriptures; 15 ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, and afterwards to the Twelve. 15 ⁶ Then he appeared to over five hundred of our brothers at once, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 15 ⁷ Then he appeared to James, and afterwards to all the apostles.
15 ⁸ In the end he appeared even to me. It was like an abnormal birth; 15 ⁹ I had persecuted the church of God and am therefore inferior to all other apostles?indeed not fit to be called an apostle. 15 ¹⁰ However, by God's grace I am what I am, nor has his grace been given to me in vain; on the contrary, in my labours I have outdone them all—not I, indeed, but the grace of God working with me. 15 ¹¹ But what matter, I or they? This is what we all proclaim, and this is what you believed.
