1 Corinthians 15:16-20
English Standard Version
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and (A)you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who (B)have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope[a] in this life only, (C)we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But in fact (D)Christ has been raised from the dead, (E)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
