13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised either.
14 But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.
15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either.
17 But if Christ has not been raised, your faith is empty; you are still in your sins.
18 And as a further result, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If we have put our hope in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.
