1 Corinthians 15:29
King James Version
“Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?”
Context
26The last enemy shall be destroyed death.
27For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
