11 But it doesn't matter if I preached or if they preached. All of you believed the message just the same.
12 If we preach that Christ was raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life?
13 If they won't be raised to life, Christ himself wasn't raised to life.
14 And if Christ wasn't raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith.
15 If the dead won't be raised to life, we have told lies about God by saying that he raised Christ to life, when he really did not.
16 So if the dead won't be raised to life, Christ wasn't raised to life.
17 Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins.
