1 Corinthians 15:17
We should be thankful to the God the Father first, then God the Son, giving thanks in the name of Jesus Christ. All thanksgiving should be expressed through Christ.
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!
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.
The Last Enemy Destroyed
20 But now aChrist is risen from the dead, and has become bthe firstfruits of those who have1 fallen asleep.
21 For asince by man came death, bby Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
