1 Corinthians 15:12-16

New Century Version

We Will Be Raised from the Dead

¹² Now since we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, why do some of you say that people will not be raised from the dead? ¹³ If no one is ever raised from the dead, then Christ has not been raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is worth nothing. ¹⁵ And also, we are guilty of lying about God, because we testified of him that he raised Christ from the dead. But if people are not raised from the dead, then God never raised Christ. ¹⁶ If the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either.
