1 Corinthians 15:17

¹⁵ In that case, we are also exposed as 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, then not even Christ has been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

¹⁸ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁹ If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
