And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:17 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
If Christ did not rise again, neither was he slain, and if he was not slain, our sins have not been taken away. If our sins have not been taken away, we are still in them, and our entire faith is meaningless.
