1 Corinthians 15:29

Compare all

27 For ^a“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

28 ^aNow when all things are made subject to Him, then ^bthe Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

30 And ^awhy do we stand in jeopardy every hour?

31 I affirm, by ^athe boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^bI die daily.

32 If, in the manner of men, ^aI have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, ^b“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

33 Do not be deceived: ^a“Evil company corrupts good habits.”

34 ^aAwake to righteousness, and do not sin; ^bfor some do not have the knowledge of God. ^cI speak this to your shame.
