1 Corinthians 15:15-22
-
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
-
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
-
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
-
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
-
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
-
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
-
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
-
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
