1 Corinthians 15:16–21
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised.
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine, ye are yet in your sinnes.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
Then they also which are fallen asleepe in Christ, are perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
If in this life only we haue hope in Christ, wee are of all men most miserable.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
