    12Now if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

    13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

    14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless, and so is your faith.

    15Furthermore, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

    16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

    17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

    18Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
