If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:19 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Paul says this, not because to hope in Christ is miserable but because Christ has prepared another life for those who hope in him. For this life is liable to sin. The life above is reserved for our reward.
