1 Corinthians 15:29-34

English Standard Version

²⁹ Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? ³⁰ Why are we ^(A)in danger every hour? ³¹ I protest, brothers, by ^(B)my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^(C)I die every day! ³² What do I gain if, humanly speaking, ^(D)I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ^(E)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” ^33 (F)Do not be deceived: ^(G)“Bad company ruins good morals.”^{[a] 34 (H)}Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For ^(I)some have no knowledge of God. ^(J)I say this to your shame.
