The Apostle Paul, in writing to the church in Corinth, states:

"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."

(1 Corinthians 15:19, NIV)

The King James Version states it this way:

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."

Paul is addressing the fact that some in the Corinthian fellowship were saying that there is no resurrection of the dead (see verse 12). Paul disagrees with this, reminding them of the gospel he preached to them (verses 1-2).

Were the white people miserable in the days of slavery?

Black people had a lot more to be miserable about back in the days of slavery, but all people would have been happy or miserable in similar proportions to today: times change but people - human nature - stays the same.Opion:Why would the whites be miserable? They were the ones who had the blacks doing everything for them.Opposing Opinion:Actually, not all whites were slave owners. Although it was the minority opinion back then and most would have been fearful to speak out, there was still white support for abolition in the South where slavery was prevalent.Another View: Blacks were not the only racial group subject to slavery and servitude.Look up the plight of indentured servants - the majority of whom were white - and who were instrumental in the settlement of both (what would become) the US, as well as other nations.
