 14Y si Cristo no resucitó, vana es entonces nuestra predicación, vana es también vuestra fe.

• Christ risen from the dead, is not only the death-blow to all these workings of human intellect, but establishes, as the great fact presented by God to faith, victory over evil in Him who bore its consequences, in the righteous judgment of God, that He might deal in sovereign grace with man, give the believer power morally by the Holy Ghost meanwhile, and associate him openly and triumphantly with Christ in the same risen condition ere long, and forever. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:12-19” by W. Kelly)
• Everything declared that Christ was risen; everything depended on the fact that He was so. This was his starting point. (“1 Corinthians 15” by J.N. Darby)
• In vain did {reason} scorn the reunion of soul and body, as if it must be a hopeless imprisonment, a going back, and not forward, and everlasting degradation for the spirit after its emancipation. Christ risen is the completest possible answer, wherein God gives us already to behold by faith man according to His counsels of glory.

Now if Christ is preached that he is raiseda from among the dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of those that are dead?

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

But if Christ is preached that he is raised from [the] dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of [the] dead?
