1 Corinthians 15:29-34

New American Standard Bible

²⁹For 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 ^[b]for them? ³⁰Why are we also ^(A)in danger every hour? ³¹I affirm, brothers and sisters, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that ^(B)I die daily. ³²If ^[c]from human motives I ^(C)fought with wild beasts at ^(D)Ephesus, what good is it to me? If the dead are not raised, ^(E)let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. ³³^(F)Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” ³⁴^(G)Sober up ^[d]morally and stop sinning, for some have ^(H)no knowledge of God. ^(I)I say this to your shame.

Effects of Denying the Resurrection

²⁹Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? ³⁰And ^(A)why do we stand in ^[a]jeopardy every hour? ³¹I affirm, by ^(B)the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^(C)I die daily. ³²If, in the manner of men, ^(D)I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, ^(E)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

³³Do not be deceived: ^(F)“Evil company corrupts good habits.” ³⁴^(G)Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; ^(H)for some do not have the knowledge of God. ^(I)I speak this to your shame.
