1 Corinthians 15:29

1 Corinthians 15:29

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.

Effects of Denying the Resurrection

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.

Which are baptized for the dead (oi baptizomenoi uper twn nekrwn). This passage remains a puzzle. Stanley gives thirteen interpretations, no one of which may be correct. Over thirty have been suggested. The Greek expositors took it to be about the dead (uper in sense of peri as often as in II Corinthians 1:6) since baptism is a burial and a resurrection (Romans 6:2-6). Tertullian tells of some heretics who took it to mean baptized in the place of dead people (unsaved) in order to save them. Some take it to be baptism over the dead. Others take it to mean that Paul and others were in peril of death as shown by baptism (see verse I Corinthians 15:30).

At all (olwv). See on I Corinthians 5:1.
