1 Corinthians 15:13-19

13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Messiah has been raised!

14And if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is meaningless and your faith also is meaningless.

15Moreover, we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that He raised up Messiah—whom He did not raise up, if in fact the dead are not raised.

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

17And if Messiah has not been raised, your faith is futile—you are still in your sins.

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

19If we have hoped in Messiah in this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all people.
