(A) I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. This part is:

Christ died for our sins,
    as the Scriptures say.
(B) He was buried,
    and three days later
he was raised to life,
    as the Scriptures say.
(C) Christ appeared to Peter,[a]
    then to the twelve.
After this, he appeared
