What, did the gospel take its rise from you? or was it communicated to you alone?

If 'there is no such thing as a resurrection from the dead,' then even Christ did not rise;

and if Christ did not rise, then our preaching has gone for nothing, and your faith has gone for nothing too.

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 rise not, then is not Christ raised:

and if Christ did not rise, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

But it is not so! Christ did rise from the dead, he was the first to be reaped of those who sleep in death.

but every one in proper order: Christ has the precedence, next they who were Christians shall rise at his advent.

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

Why do we also risk danger every hour [i.e., if there were no resurrection]?

I protest, by the boasting which I do about you, my brothers, through our union with Christ Jesus our Lord, I myself run the risk of dying every single day!

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise?

it is sown an animal body, it will rise a spiritual body. there is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.

Here is a secret truth for you: not all of us are to die, but all of us are to be changed ??52 changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. The trumpet will sound, the dead will rise imperishable, and we shall be changed.

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet (for the trumpet shall sound) and the dead shall rise incorruptible; but as for us, we shall be changed.
