1 Corinthians 15:3

1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ 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 Cephas and then to the Twelve.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
