Living_Oracles(i)
16 And if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised,
17 Farther, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
18 Certainly, also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life, only, we have hope in Christ, we are, of all men, the most miserable.
20 But now Christ is raised from the dead, -the first fruit of them who have fallen asleep.
21 For since through a man came death, through a man also comes the resurrection of the dead.
22 Therefore, as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all shall be made alive.
23 But every one in his own rank: Christ the first fruit; they that are Christ's, afterward, at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall resign the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all government, and all authority, and power.
25 For he must reign till he has put all the enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed.
27 For he has subjected all things under his feet. Now when it says that all things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who has subjected all things to him.
12 Now, if it be proclaimed that Christ was raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 For if there be no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, vain, certainly, is our proclamation, and vain, also, is your faith.
15 Besides, we are found even false witnesses concerning God; because we have witnessed, with respect to God, that he raised Christ; whom he raised not, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.
