10. But God’s kindness made me what I am, and that kindness was not wasted on me. Instead, I worked harder than all the others. It was not I who did it, but God’s kindness was with me.
11. So, whether it was I or someone else, this is the message we brought you, and this is what you believed.
12. If we have told you that Christ has been brought back to life, how can some of you say that coming back from the dead is impossible?
13. If the dead can’t be brought back to life, then Christ hasn’t come back to life.
14. If Christ hasn’t come back to life, our message has no meaning and your faith also has no meaning.
15. In addition, we are obviously witnesses who lied about God because we testified that he brought Christ back to life. But if it’s true that the dead don’t come back to life, then God didn’t bring Christ back to life.
16. Certainly, if the dead don’t come back to life, then Christ hasn’t come back to life either.
