1 Corinthians 15:12-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹² And if Christ is preached, that he rose again from death [from dead], how say some men among you [how say some in you], that the again-rising of dead men is not?

¹³ And if the again-rising of dead men is not, neither Christ rose again from death [neither Christ rose again].

¹⁴ And if Christ rose not, our preaching is vain, our faith is vain.

¹⁵ [Forsooth] And we be found false witnesses of God, for we have said witnessing against God, that he raised Christ, whom he raised not, if dead men rise not again.

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.]

¹⁹ If in this life only we be hoping in Christ, we be more wretches than all men.
