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.

1 Corinthians 15:30

And why stand we in jeopardy - Why do we constantly risk our lives, and encounter danger of every kind? This refers particularly to Paul himself and the other apostles, who were constantly exposed to peril by land or by sea in the arduous work of making known the gospel. The argument here is plain. It is, that such efforts would be vain, useless, foolish, unless there was to be a glorious resurrection. They had no other object in encountering these dangers than to make known the truths connected with that glorious future state; and if there were no such future state, it would be wise for them to avoid these dangers. "It would not be supposed that we would encounter these perils constantly, unless we were sustained with the hope of the resurrection, and unless we had evidence which convinced our own minds that there would be such a resurrection."

Every hour - Constantly; compare II Corinthians 11:26. So numerous were their dangers, that they might be said to occur every hour. This was particularly the case in the instance to which he refers in Ephesus, I Corinthians 15:32.
