    14And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.

    15Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed 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 useless; you are still in your sins.

    18Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.
