1 Corinthians 15:16-22

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.

20But now Messiah 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 has come through a Man.

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