1 Corinthians 15:19

Compare all

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.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^abe made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:19

I Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ. If there is no life beyond, no hope of it, then Christians who deny themselves in this life and endure persecutions and sufferings for the sake of eternal life, are of all men most miserable. They "lose life" and gain no eternal life. Such are the consequences of this false belief.
