2 Because you believed the good news, you are saved. But you must hold firmly to the message I preached to you. If you don't, you have believed it for nothing.
3 What I received I passed on to you. And it is the most important of all. Here is what it is. Christ died for our sins, just as Scripture said he would.
4 He was buried. He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as Scripture said he would be.
5 He appeared to Peter. Then he appeared to the Twelve.
6 After that, he appeared to more than 500 believers at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died.
7 He appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.
8 Last of all, he also appeared to me. I was like someone who wasn't born at the right time or in a normal way.
