1 Corinthians 15:12-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² Now if it is preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³ For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

¹⁴ And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.

¹⁵ And we are found also false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God, that He has raised up Christ, Whom He has not raised up, if it be so that the dead are not raised.

¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.

¹⁷ And if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain. You are still in your sins.

¹⁸ And so those who are asleep in Christ, have perished.

¹⁹ If it is only in this life that we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind the most miserable.
