3 I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is:Christ died for our sins,as the Scriptures say.
4 He was buried,and three days laterhe was raised to life,as the Scriptures say.
5 Christ appeared to Peter,then to the twelve.
6 After this, he appearedto more than five hundredother followers.Most of them are still alive,but some have died.
7 He also appeared to James,and then to allthe apostles.
8 Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time.
9 I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God's church that I don't even deserve to be called an apostle.
