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)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
29 Otherwise, what will those people do who receive baptism on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?
30 And why are we putting ourselves in danger every hour?(A) 31 I die every day! That is as certain, brothers and sisters, as my boasting of you—a boast that I make in Christ Jesus our Lord.(B) 32 If I fought with wild animals at Ephesus with a merely human perspective, what would I have gained by it? If the dead are not raised,
“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”(C)
33 Do not be deceived:
“Bad company ruins good morals.”
34 Sober up, as you rightly ought to, and sin no more, for some people have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.(D)
