For if we believe (ei gar pisteuomen). Condition of first class, assuming the death and resurrection of Jesus to be true.

In Jesus (dia tou Iēsou). Literally, through or by means of Jesus. It is amphibolous in position and can be taken either with tous koimēthentas (that are fallen asleep in or through Jesus) like hoi koimēthentes en Christōi in 1Co 15:18 and probably correct or with axei (through Jesus with God).

With him (sun autōi). Together with Jesus. Jesus is the connecting link (dia) for those that sleep (koimēthentas first aorist passive, but with middle sense) and their resurrection.
