1 Corinthians 15:16-21
-
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.
