New Testament

1 Corinthians 15:29-34 New International Version (NIV)

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.

32. If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

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.
