And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raiseda.

JND Translation Notes

a
"Are not raised," vers. 15,16, applies to the abstract fact whenever it may be; the doctrinal fact as to dead people; "he (Christ) is raised," vers. 12,13,16,20, is an accomplished but continuing fact. The English tenses do not always secure this distinction. I have not put "do not rise," because then the thought of being raised by God is lost.

W. Kelly Translation

and we are also found false witnesses of God, because we witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he raised not, if indeed no dead are raised.
