9. For I am the least of the emissaries, who am not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of Elohim.
10. But by the favour of Elohim I am what I am, and His favour toward me was not in vain, but I laboured much more than they all, yet not I, but the favour of Elohim with me.
11. Whether, then, it was I or they, so we proclaimed and so you believed.
12. And if Messiah is proclaimed that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13. And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Messiah has not been raised.
14. And if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is empty, and your belief also empty,
15. and we are also found false witnesses of Elohim, because we have witnessed of Elohim that He raised up Messiah, whom He did not raise up, if then the dead are not raised.
16. For if the dead are not raised, then neither Messiah has been raised.
