1 Corinthians 15:1-8

Now I want to remind you about the good news I announced to you. You accepted it, and you have stood firm for it. It is through this good news that you are saved if you hold on to the message that I gave you. Otherwise you trusted for nothing! I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture; he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture. He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve. After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still alive today, though some have died. He appeared to James, then all the apostles. Last of all, he also appeared to me, someone born as it were at the wrong time.
