* Now if Christ be preached (5743 ) that he rose (5769 ) from the dead , how say (5719 ) some among you that there is (5748 ) no resurrection of the dead ? * But if there be (5748 ) no resurrection of the dead , then is Christ not risen (5769 ): * And if Christ be not risen (5769 ), then is our preaching vain , and your faith is also vain . * Yea , and we are found (5743 ) false witnesses of God ; because we have testified (5656 ) of God that he raised up (5656 ) Christ : whom he raised not up (5656 ), if so be that the dead rise (5743 ) not . * For if the dead rise (5743 ) not , then is not Christ raised (5769 ): * And if Christ be not raised (5769 ), your faith is vain ; ye are (5748 ) yet in your sins . * Then they also which are fallen asleep (5685 ) in Christ are perished (5639 ). * If in this life only we have hope (5761 ) (5748 ) in Christ , we are (5748 ) of all men most miserable . * But now is Christ risen (5769 ) from the dead , and become (5633 ) the firstfruits of them that slept (5772 ). * For since by man came death , by man came also the resurrection of the dead . * For as in Adam all die (5719 ), even so in Christ shall all be made alive (5701 ). * But every man in his own order : Christ the firstfruits ; afterward they that are Christs at his coming . * Then cometh the end , when he shall have delivered up (5632 ) the kingdom to God , even the Father ; when he shall have put down (5661 ) all rule and all authority and power . * For he must (5748 ) reign (5721 ), till he hath put (5632 ) all enemies under his feet . * The last enemy that shall be destroyed (5743 ) is death . * For he hath put (5656 ) all things under his feet . But when he saith (5632 ) all things are put under (5769 ) him , it is manifest that he is excepted , which did put all things under (5660 ) him . * And when all things shall be subdued (5652 ) unto him , then shall the Son also himself be subject (5691 ) unto him that put all things under (5660 ) him , that God may be (5753 ) all in all . * Else what shall they do (5692 ) which are baptized (5746 ) for the dead , if the dead rise (5743 ) not at all ? why are they then baptized (5743 ) for the dead ? * And why stand we in jeopardy (5719 ) every hour ? * I protest by your rejoicing which I have (5719 ) in Christ Jesus our Lord , I die (5719 ) daily . * If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts (5656 ) at Ephesus , what advantageth it me , if the dead rise (5743 ) not ? let us eat (5632 ) and drink (5632 ); for to morrow we die (5719 ). * Be not deceived (5744 ): evil communications corrupt (5719 ) good manners . * Awake (5657 ) to righteousness , and sin (5720 ) not ; for some have (5719 ) not the knowledge of God : I speak (5719 ) this to your shame .
