Proof for Never Reading a Bible Verse

Look no further than 1 Corinthians 15:19 for proof that you should never read a Bible verse:

If in this life we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Oh, no! What did Paul say? How are we supposed to make sense of this? Read the verse in context and especially the following verse, v. 20:

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Never read just a Bible verse for a text out of context becomes a pretext.
