13. But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither is Christ risen;
14. and if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
15. And we are even found false witnesses of God because we have testified of God that he raised up the Christ, whom he did not raise up, if it so be that the dead do not rise.
16. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not raised either;
17. and if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain; ye are even yet in your sins.
