Concerning The Resurrection Of The Dead
13 If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life. 14 And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion. 15 Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised.
