    12Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

    13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

    14If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

    15Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

    16For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

    17If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

    18Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

    19If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

    18Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

    19Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

    20When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

    21Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

    22All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
