1 Corinthians 15:14-18

14but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.

15And we are found also false witnesses of 1God; for we have witnessed concerning 2God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.

16For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

17but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
