The Fact of Christ’s Resurrection

1 Now aI make known to you, brethren, the bgospel which I preached to you, which also you received, cin which also you stand,

2 by which also you are saved, aif you hold fast 1the word which I preached to you, bunless you believed in vain.

3 For aI delivered to you 1as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died bfor our sins caccording to the Scriptures,

4 and that He was buried, and that He was araised on the third day baccording to the Scriptures,

5 and that aHe appeared to bCephas, then cto the twelve.

6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some ahave fallen asleep;

7 then He appeared to 1aJames, then to ball the apostles;

8 and last of all, as 1to one untimely born, aHe appeared to me also.
