1 Corinthians 15:29-34
Wycliffe Bible
29 Else what shall they do, that be baptized for dead men, if in no wise dead men rise again [if in all manner dead men rise not again]? whereto [also] be they baptized for them?
30 And whereto be we in peril every hour?
31 Each day I die for your glory, brethren, which glory I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 If after man I have fought to beasts at Ephesus [If after man I have fought to beasts, or against beasts, at Ephesus], what profiteth it to me, if dead men rise not again? Eat we, and drink we, for we shall die to morrow [Eat we, and drink we, to morrow forsooth we shall die].
33 Do not ye be deceived; for evil speeches destroy good conduct. [Do not ye be deceived; forsooth evil speeches corrupt, or destroy, good conduct, or virtues.]
34 Awake ye, just men, and do not ye do sin; for some men have ignorance of God, but to reverence I speak to you. [Wake ye, just, and do not ye sin; forsooth some have ignorance of God, to reverence I speak to you.]

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? Why are they then baptized over the dead? 30 Yea, and why do we stand in danger every hour? 31 As sure as our confidence which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I am dying day by day. 32 That I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, after the manner of men, what does it gain me if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!
33 Be not deceived: unwholesome talk corrupts good ways. 34 Awake truly out of sleep, and do not sin. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your reproach.

Authorized (King James) Version
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
