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

I think i will read all of 1 Corinthians 15 every Easter in the future. I just found it this last week as a reminder of the importance of the resurrection and have loved dwelling on its magnitude!

¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins...

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
