The Resurrection of the Dead 1 Corinthians 15

• 15More than that, we are then found to be false
  witnesses about God, for we have testified about
  God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he
  did not raise him if in fact the dead are not
  raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then
  Christ has not been raised either. 17And if
  Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile
  you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who
  have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19If only
  for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to
  be pitied more than all men.
