1 Corinthians 15:14-20

Lamsa(i) 14 And if Christ is not risen, then is our preaching in vain, and your faith is also in vain; 15 And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ when he had not raised him. 16 For if the dead rise not, then neither did Christ rise: 17 And if Christ did not rise, your belief is in vain; and you are yet in your sins. 18 And also, then, those who have died in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, then we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now we know Christ is risen from the dead and become the first-fruits of those who have died.
