But if Christ is preached that he was raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then both our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain;read more.
and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in regard to God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up if indeed the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, Christ was not raised; and if Christ was not raised, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins, and those then who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead be raised, indestructible, and we shall be changed.
