1 Corinthians 15:15-20 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, neither is Christ raised: ¹⁷ And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also they who sleep in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all men. ²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, the first-fruit of them that slept.
