There is no resurrection.
Our faith is useless.
Paul had no time for a Christianity without resurrection, because he understood that the heart and soul of the Christian faith, what made the Christian faith a Christian faith, was the announcement not that you're supposed to love one another, but the announcement he is risen.
That's what got the attention.

Unbelievable claim.
That a man had died.
And come back from death into life.
If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless, so is your faith.
More than that, we are found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead.
There's a religious organization in this country called Jehovah's Witnesses.
What Paul's advocating here is that the rest of Christianity
Once it abandons its confidence in the resurrection of Christ should rename its organization Jehovah's False Witnesses and admit to the world that we have been lying for centuries because not only were we wrong about the central fact of resurrection, but we were bearing false witness against God the Father because we're saying that it's God the Father who raised God the Son from the dead.
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

resorts to euphemisms here, just like my dentist.
When my dentist puts me in a dentist chair and he pulls out that needle and says, Now this might cause you a little discomfort.
