Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
