The First Creed
This is the oldest creed of Christianity. It is recorded in the first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.
- For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the [Jewish] scriptures;
- And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the [Jewish] scriptures:
- And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
- After that, he was seen of above five hundred brothers at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some are fallen asleep.
- After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
- And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
