This is the oldest creed of Christianity. It is recorded in the first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (15:3-8).
- For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the [Jewish] scriptures
- And that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the [Jewish] scriptures
- And that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
- Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
- Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
- Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
