CLV(i)
16 For, if the dead are not being roused, neither has Christ been roused."
17 Now, if Christ has not been roused, vain is your faith - you are still in your sins!"
18 Consequently those also, who are put to repose in Christ, perished."
19 If we are having an expectation in Christ in this life only, more forlorn than all men are we."
20 (Yet now Christ has been roused from among the dead, the Firstfruit of those who are reposing."
21 For since, in fact, through a man came death, through a Man, also, comes the resurrection of the dead."
