27. For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
28. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
29. Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
30. And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?
31. I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

33. Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34. Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
35. But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

37. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
