1 Corinthians 15:15

1 Corinthians 15:15

13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^athen Christ is not risen.

14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because ^awe have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise.

16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.

17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; ^ayou are still in your sins!
