SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:13
Porque si no hay resurreccin de muertos, Cristo tampoco resucit;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:13
Verse 13. If there be no resurrection of the dead] As Christ was partaker of the same flesh and blood with us, and he promised to raise mankind from the dead through his resurrection, if the dead rise not then Christ has had no resurrection. There seem to have been some at Corinth who, though they denied the resurrection of the dead, admitted that Christ had risen again: the apostle's argument goes therefore to state that, if Christ was raised from the dead, mankind may be raised; if mankind cannot be raised from the dead, then the body of Christ was never raised.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. But if there be no resurrection of the dead , etc.] If there is no such thing as a resurrection of any, if the thing is not possible, if it never has been, is, or will be true in fact: then is Christ not risen . The apostle argues from a general, to a particular; from the general resurrection of the dead, to the particular resurrection of Christ; and from a negation of the one, to a negation of the other; for what does not agree with the whole, does not agree with the part; and what is true of the whole, is true of the part; but if the resurrection of Christ is not true, many are the absurdities that must follow upon it, and which the apostle next enumerates.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - Having shown that Christ was risen, the apostle answers those who sai there would be no resurrection. There had been no justification, or salvation, if Christ had not risen. And must not faith in Christ be vain, and of no use, if he is still among the dead? The proof of the resurrection of the body is the resurrection of our Lord. Even thos who died in the faith, had perished in their sins, if Christ had no risen. All who believe in Christ, have hope in him, as a Redeemer; hop for redemption and salvation by him; but if there is no resurrection or future recompence, their hope in him can only be as to this life And they must be in a worse condition than the rest of mankind especially at the time, and under the circumstances, in which the apostles wrote; for then Christians were hated and persecuted by all men. But it is not so; they, of all men, enjoy solid comforts amids all their difficulties and trials, even in the times of the sharpes persecution.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
15:13 {Neither hath Christ been raised} (oude cristos egegertai). He turns the argument round with tremendous force. But it is fair.
