1 Corinthians 15:16-19
Context15:16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. 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.
