Concerning The Resurrection Of The Dead

13 And if there is no rising up of the dead, neither has Christ risen: 14 And if Christ has not risen, then our proclaiming vain, and also your faith vain. 15 And we are also found false witnesses of God; for we testified for God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if therefore the dead are not raised.
