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 futile and you are still in your sins.

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

19If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

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