Odeath where is thy sting

Paul writes of the multitude of eyewitnesses who saw the Lord Jesus alive after he was raised from the dead. Paul then tells of his own experience of seeing the Lord after the Lord was raised. Paul addresses false teaching that had infiltrated the assembly of believers. In verse 13, Paul says that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not raised. In verse 15, Paul writes that he was a false witness of God if Christ was not raised up.

Paul goes on to write of other consequences, such as the believers were still in their sins and were never delivered from the awful result of their sins.

Another consequence was that the believers who had passed away already had perished, if there is no resurrection of the dead. Paul writes of them being the most miserable people on earth if there is no resurrection of the dead.
