1 Corinthians 15:14
and if Christ be not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain [useless, amounting to nothing], and your faith is also vain [imaginary, unfounded, devoid of value and benefit—not based on truth].
And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is in vain [it amounts to nothing] and your faith is devoid of truth and is fruitless (without effect, empty, imaginary, and unfounded).
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain, and so is your faith.
If Christ hasn’t been raised, then our preaching is useless and your faith is useless.
and if the Messiah has not been raised, then what we have proclaimed is in vain; also your trust is in vain;
And if Christ wasn't raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith.
but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is also empty; your faith is also empty;
And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
And if Christ has never been raised, then the message we tell is worth nothing. And your faith is worth nothing.
And if God did not raise Christ up, it does no good for us to tell God's good news to people. There would be nothing for you to believe.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is pointless, and your faith is pointless too.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is ·worth nothing [futile; useless; empty], and your faith is ·worth nothing [futile; useless; empty].
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
If Christ hasn’t come back to life, our message has no meaning and your faith also has no meaning.
and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith.
And if Christ was not raised, then our preaching is worth nothing. And your faith is worth nothing.
and if the Messiah has not been raised, then our message means nothing and your faith means nothing.
Now if the rising of Christ from the dead is the very heart of our message, how can some of you deny that there is any resurrection? For if there is no such thing as the resurrection of the dead, then Christ was never raised. And if Christ was not raised then neither our preaching nor your faith has any meaning at all. Further it would mean that we are lying in our witness for God, for we have given our solemn testimony that he did raise up Christ—and that is utterly false if it should be true that the dead do not, in fact, rise again! For if the dead do not rise neither did Christ rise, and if Christ did not rise your faith is futile and your sins have never been forgiven. Moreover those who have died believing in Christ are utterly dead and gone. Truly, if our hope in Christ were limited to this life only we should, of all mankind be the most to be pitied!
and if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.
But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.
And if he is still dead, then all our preaching is useless and your trust in God is empty, worthless, hopeless;
Now, let me ask you something profound yet troubling. If you became believers because you trusted the proclamation that Christ is alive, risen from the dead, how can you let people say that there is no such thing as a resurrection? If there’s no resurrection, there’s no living Christ. And face it—if there’s no resurrection for Christ, everything we’ve told you is smoke and mirrors, and everything you’ve staked your life on is smoke and mirrors. Not only that, but we would be guilty of telling a string of barefaced lies about God, all these affidavits we passed on to you verifying that God raised up Christ—sheer fabrications, if there’s no resurrection.
If Christ has not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is groundless, · · and your faith is to no purpose. ·
If Christ hasn’t come back to life, our message has no meaning and your faith also has no meaning.
And if Christ has not been raised, then empty [too] is our preaching; empty, too, your faith.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is useless, and so is your faith.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is worth nothing.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.
And if Christ has not been raised, what we preach doesn’t mean anything. Your faith doesn’t mean anything either.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.
If Christ was not raised from the dead, then what we preach to you is worth nothing. Your faith in Christ is worth nothing.
And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.
If Christ is not risen, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.
and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain and your faith is in vain.
and if the Messiah hasn’t been raised, our royal proclamation is empty, and so is your faith.
And if Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has not been raised, then our preaching to you was in vain and also in vain is your emunah (faith).
And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
And if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is meaningless and your faith also is meaningless.
if that is so, then all our preaching has been for nothing and your faith in the message is worthless.
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
And if Christ did not rise, then what we told you was not true, and what you believe is not true.
And if Christ rose not, our preaching is vain, our faith is vain.
and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,
