New King James Version
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; (A)you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have [a]fallen (B)asleep in Christ have perished. 19 (C)If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
