1 Corinthians 15:12-22

12ButG1161 ifG1487 it is preachedG2784 thatG3754 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, howG4459 can someG5100 ofG1722 youG4771 sayG3004 thatG3754 there isG1510 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498? 13IfG1487 there isG1510 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453. 14AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG3756G1453, ourG1473 preachingG2782 is worthlessG2756, andG2532 so is yourG4771 faithG4102. 15In that caseG1161, we are also exposed asG2532G2147 false witnessesG5575 about GodG2316. ForG3754 we have testifiedG3140 aboutG2596 GodG2316 thatG3754 He raisedG1453 Christ from the deadG5547, but He did not raiseG3756G1453 Him ifG1512 in factG686 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453.

16ForG1063 ifG1487 the deadG3498 are not raisedG3756G1453, then not evenG3761 ChristG5547 has been raisedG1453. 17AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 has not been raisedG3756G1453, yourG4771 faithG4102 isG1510 futileG3152; you areG1510 stillG2089 inG1722 yourG4771 sinsG266. 18ThenG686 thoseG3588 alsoG2532 who have fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 have perishedG622. 19IfG1487 ourG1510 hopeG1679 inG1722 ChristG5547 is forG1722 thisG3778 lifeG2222 aloneG3440, we areG1510 to be pitied moreG1652 than allG3956 menG444.

20ButG1161 ChristG5547 has indeedG3570 been raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, the firstfruitsG536 of those whoG3588 have fallen asleepG2837. 21ForG1063 sinceG1894 deathG2288 came throughG1223 a manG444, the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 comes alsoG2532 throughG1223 a manG444. 22For asG5618 inG1722 AdamG76 allG3956 dieG599, soG3779G2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 allG3956 will be made aliveG2227.
