nkjv 1Corinthians:15:15-20
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise.
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
