1 Corinthians 15:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ For why if dead men rise not again, neither Christ rose again;

¹⁷ and if Christ rose not again, our faith is vain; and yet ye be in your sins.

¹⁸ And then they that have died in Christ, have perished. [Therefore and they that slept, or died, in Christ, have perished.]
