ABU(i)
12 Now if Christ is preached that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ risen;
14 and if Christ has not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also your faith.
15 And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we testified of God, that he raised up Christ; whom he raised not, if it be so that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ risen;
17 and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who sleep.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive.
23 But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits; afterward they who are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to God, the Father; when he shall have done away all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 As the last enemy, Death shall be done away. For he subjected all things under his feet.
27 But when he says, All things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all things to him.
