(19)   If in this life only we have hope in



                    Christ, we are of all men most miserable.




                    There are three things I want to give you

             Christ is not risen.  It says in verses 12 and



             13 that “if Christ be preached that he rose

             resurrection at all, then Christ is not risen.
