BLB(i)
16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18 Also then those having fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If only in this life we are having hope in Christ, we are more to be pitied than all men.
20 But now Christ has been raised out from the dead, the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep.
21 For since death came by a man, so also by a man has come the resurrection of the dead.
