Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

But as it is brothers, if I come back to you and speak ecstatically, what good will I do you, unless I have some revelation or special knowledge or message or teaching to give you?

But someone will say, "How can the dead rise? What kind of a body will they have when they come back?"

So no one is to slight him. But see him off cordially when he comes back to me, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

On the first day of every week each of you must put aside and store up something in proportion as he is prospered, so that no contributions need be made when I come back.

Come back to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! For some of you I say this to your shame don't fully know God.
