10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them – yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
11. Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed.
12. Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
13. But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.
15. 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.
16. For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
17. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
