1 Corinthians 15:13-20
New Living Translation
13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. 15 And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. 16 And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. 18 In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! 19 And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.
20 But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.

1 Corinthians 15:13-20
New International Version
13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised,(A) our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.(B) But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.(C) 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep(D) in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.(E)
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,(F) the firstfruits(G) of those who have fallen asleep.(H)
