1 Corinthians 15:16-22

16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.

17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

18Those, then, who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.

19If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.

20But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.

22For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
