For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.
