1 Corinthians 15:4

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

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

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.

6 After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

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