1 Corinthians 15:16-22

16And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised.

17And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.

18In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost!

19And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.

20But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.

21So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man.

22Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
