1 Now, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which you have received, and in which you stand.
2 Through it you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 was buried, rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelve.
6 Then He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain to this present time, though some have passed away.
