Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain.

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised;

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
