1 Corinthians 15:12 Cross References - MLV

¹² Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised up from the dead, how are some among you saying that there is no resurrection of the dead?

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some were sneering, but some said, We will hear you concerning this again.

⁸ (For the Sadducees indeed say that there is no resurrection, neither messenger nor spirit, but the Pharisees are confessing both.)

⁸ Why is it judged as unbelievable with you, if God is raising the dead?

¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised up; ¹⁴ and if Christ has not been raised up, consequently, our preaching is empty, your faith is also empty. ¹⁵ Now, we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God in saying that he raised the Christ up; whom consequently, he did not raise up, if indeed the dead are not raised up. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised up, not even Christ has been raised up; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not been raised up, your faith is futile. You are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Consequently, also those who have fallen-asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are the most pitiful of all men.

¹⁷ may comfort your hearts and may establish them in all the word and in good work.
¹⁸ They have deviated concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has happened already and are perverting the faith of some.
