Now, brothers and sisters, I (Paul) want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you… For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance:
- that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
- that he was buried,
- that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
- and that he appeared to Cephas [Peter], and then to the Twelve.
- After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time…
- Then he appeared to James,
- then to all the apostles,
- and last of all he appeared to me also…
