15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
15:18 Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep 1 in Christ have also perished.
15:19 For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone.
1 tn See the note on the word “asleep” in 15:6. This term is also used in v. 20.
