11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

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.
