1 Corinthians 15:12-19
The Resurrection of the Dead
12Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there ais no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised. 14And aif Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we bore witness 1against God that He araised 2Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; ayou are still in your sins. 18Then those also who ahave fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are aof all men most to be pitied.
