THE MESSAGE
If corpses can't be raised, then Christ wasn't, because he was indeed dead. And if Christ weren't raised, then all you're doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. It's even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they're already in their graves. If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we're a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

Contextual Overview
12 If Christ be preached how that he rose fro deeth: how saye some that are amoge you that ther is no resurreccion from deeth? 13 If ther be no rysynge agayne from deeth: then is Christ not rysen. 14 If Christ be not rysen then is oure preachinge vayne and youre faith is also in vayne. 15 Ye and we are founde falce witnesses of God. For we have testifyed of God how that he raysyd vp Christ whom he raysyd not vp yf it be so that the deed ryse not vp agayne. 16 For yf the deed ryse not agayne then is Christ not rysen agayne. 17 If it be so yt Christ rose not then is youre fayth in vayne and yet are ye in youre synnes. 18 And therto they which are fallen a slepe in Christ are perished. 19 If in this lyfe only we beleve on christ then are we of all men the miserablest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised. This is a repetition of the argument in 1 Corinthians 15:13 made partly to show the importance of it, and partly to observe other absurdities, following upon the conclusion of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For if the dead rise not ... - This is a repetition of what is said in 1 Corinthians 15:13. It is repeated here, evidently, because of its importance. It was a great and momentous truth which would “bear” repetition, that if there was no resurrection, as some held, then it would follow that the Lord Jesus was not raised up.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Corinthians 15:16. False witnesses — As having testified the fact of Christ's resurrection, as a matter which ourselves had witnessed, when we knew that we bore testimony to a falsehood. But could five hundred persons agree in this imposition? And if they did, is it possible that some one would not discover the cheat, when he could have no interest in keeping the secret, and might greatly promote his secular interest by making the discovery? Such a case never occurred, and never can occur. The testimony, therefore, concerning the resurrection of Christ, is incontrovertibly true.
If so be that the dead rise not. — This clause is wanting in DE, Syriac, some of the Slavonian, and Itala; several also of the primitive fathers omit it. Its great similarity to the following words might be the cause of its omission by some copyists.
