Christian Standard Bible
Resurrection Supported by Christian Experience
29 Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead?[a] If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?[b] 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I face death every day,(A) as surely as I may boast about you, brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus(B) as a mere man, what good did that do me?(C) If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[c](D) 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 34 Come to your senses[d](E) and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.(F)

1 Corinthians 15:29-34
International Standard Version
29 Otherwise, what will those people do who are being baptized because of those who have died? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they being baptized because of them? 30 And why in fact are we being endangered every hour? 31 I face death every day! That is as certain, brothers,[a] as it is that I am proud of you in the Messiah,[b] Jesus our Lord. 32 If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised,
“Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”[c]
33 Stop being deceived:
“Wicked friends lead to evil ends.”[d]
34 Come back to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! For some of you—I say this to your shame—don’t fully know God.
