February 13th : Second Reading

If Christ has not been raised, you are still in your sins

A Reading from the First Letter of St.Paul to the Corinthians 15: 12,16-20 

If Christ raised from the dead is what has been preached, how can some of you be saying that there is no resurrection of the dead? For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, you are still in your sins. And what is more serious, all who have died in Christ have perished. If our hope in Christ has been for this life only, we are the most unfortunate of all people.

  But Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep.

The Word of the Lord.
