Resurrection Essential to the Gospel
15 Now * brothers, I want to clarify r for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand s on it. 2 You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you—unless you believed for no purpose. t u 3 For I passed on to you v as most important what I also received:
that Christ died w for our sins
according to the Scriptures, x
4 that He was buried, y
that He was raised on the third day z
according to the Scriptures, a
5 and that He appeared to * Cephas, b
then to the Twelve. c
6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time; d
most of them are still alive,
but some have fallen * asleep.
7 Then He appeared to James, e
then to all the apostles. f
8 Last of all, as to one abnormally born, g h
He also appeared to me. i
