1 Corinthians 15:12-19
21st Century King James Version
12 Now if Christ is preached, that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 and if Christ be not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up, if so it be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is Christ not raised;
17 and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

1 Corinthians 15:12-19
American Standard Version
12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised: 14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching [a]vain, [b]your faith also is [c]vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up [d]Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised: 17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 [e]If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
