Now viewing scripture range from the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 15:14 through chapter 15:20...
14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
