1. But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
2. by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
3. For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
4. and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5. and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
