Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.
15 Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.
16 For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:
17 And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.
18 And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy.
20 But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.
