"Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?"
— 1 Corinthians 15:29, Catholic Public Domain 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?”
“Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? ”
“Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren't raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?”
“Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?”
“Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them?”
“Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?”
“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?”
Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,
“All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to him.
And when all things will have been subjected to him, then even the Son himself will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.
Otherwise, what will those who are being baptized for the dead do, if the dead do not rise again at all? Why then are they being baptized for them?
Why also do we endure trials every hour?
Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.”
