1 Corinthians 15:12-27 Now if Christ is preached, that He hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Now if Christ is preached, that He hath been raised 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, neither has Christ been raised; ¹⁴ and, if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, and vain is your faith; ¹⁵ and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in respect to God that He raised up the Christ, Whom He raised not, if so be that the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For, if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised; ¹⁷ and, if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins! ¹⁸ Hence, also, those who fell asleep in Christ perished! ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable! ²⁰ But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the First fruit of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For since through man came death, through Man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive; ²³ but each in his own rank; Christ, the First-fruit; then those who are Christ's at His coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when He delivereth up the Kingdom to God, even His Father; when He shall abolish all rule and all authority and power; ²⁵ for He must reign, till He hath put all the enemies under His feet. ²⁶ As the last enemy, death is abolished; ²⁷ for He put all things in subjection under His feet. But, when He saith, "All things have been put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted, Who subjected all things to Him.
