Finish Well
15:1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
15:2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
15:3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
15:4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
15:5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
15:6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
15:7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
15:8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
15:9 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.
15:10 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.
