1. Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the Good News which I proclaimed to you. You also received it, and you took your stand on it,
2. and by it you are being saved if you hold firm to the word I proclaimed to you—unless you believed without proper consideration.
3. For I also passed on to you first of all what I also received— that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4. that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5. and that He appeared to Kefa, then to the Twelve.
6. Then He appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time— most of them are still alive, though some have died.
