1. Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
2. by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4. and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
5. and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
6. then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
7. then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
