Compare all
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!  
18 Then also those who have1 fallen aasleep in Christ have perished.  
19 aIf in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

1 Corinthians 15:18

They also which are fallen asleep - All those who, either by martyrdom or natural death, have departed in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, are perished; their hope was without foundation, and their faith had not reason and truth for its object. Their bodies are dissolved in the earth, finally decomposed and destroyed, notwithstanding the promise of Christ to such, that he would raise them up at the last day. See John 5:25, John 5:28, John 5:29; John 11:25, John 11:26, etc.
