New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
12
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;
13
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.
14
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
15
More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
16
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
