16. So if the dead won't be raised to life, Christ wasn't raised to life.
17. Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins.
18. And those people who died after putting their faith in him are completely lost.
19. If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else.
20. But Christ has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will also be raised to life.
21. Just as we will die because of Adam, we will be raised to life because of Christ.
