1 Corinthians 15:13-19
13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, athen not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that bhe raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and cyou are still in your sins. 18Then those also who dhave fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If in Christ we have hope ▼▼Or we have hoped
in this life only, fwe are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:29-32
29Otherwise, 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? 30Why are we gin danger every hour? 31I protest, brothers, by hmy pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, iI die every day! 32What do I gain if, humanly speaking, jI fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, k“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
