1 Corinthians 15:29-34
Legacy Standard Bible
29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized [a]for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 30 Why are we also (A)in danger every hour? 31 I affirm, brothers, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, (B)I die daily. 32 If [b]from human motives I (C)fought with wild beasts at (D)Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, (E)let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. 33 (F)Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 34 (G)Become righteously sober-minded, and stop sinning; for some have (H)no knowledge of God. (I)I speak this to your shame.

Evangelical Heritage Version
29 Otherwise, what will those people do who get baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why do they even get baptized for them? 30 Why do we live in danger every hour? 31 Day by day I face death, as surely as I boast about you, brothers,[a] in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild animals in Ephesus with human motives, what good did it do me? If the dead are not raised, then “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”[b] 33 Do not be deceived! “Keeping bad company corrupts good morals.”[c] 34 Use sober judgment, as is right, and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
