1 Corinthians 15:12 Cross References - WNT

¹² But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?

³² When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."

⁸ For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.

⁸ Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life?

¹³ If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion. ¹⁵ Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised. ¹⁶ For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing--you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this present life we have a *hope* resting on Christ, and nothing more, we are more to be pitied than all the rest of the world.

¹⁷ comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word. ¹⁸ In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.
