1. And now I want to remind you, my brothers and sisters, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm.
2. That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it — unless it was for nothing that you believed.
3. I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures;
4. that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;
5. that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles.
6. Then he appeared to more than 500 of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died.
7. Then he appeared to James, and afterwards to all the apostles.
