1 Corinthians 15:29-34

21st Century King James Version

²⁹ Else, what shall they do who 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 declare by my rejoicing in you 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 advantage is there to me, if the dead rise not? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

³³ Be not deceived: “Evil associations corrupt good manners.”

³⁴ Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
