1 Corinthians 15:29-34
New Matthew Bible
29 Or else what are the people who are baptized over the dead doing, if the dead do not rise at all?

If the dead are not raised,
33 Do not be misled:(F) “Bad company corrupts good character.”[b](G) 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God(H)—I say this to your shame.(I)
