1 Corinthians 15:29-31

Living Bible

²⁹ If the dead will not come back to life again, then what point is there in people being baptized for those who are gone? Why do it unless you believe that the dead will someday rise again?

³⁰ And why should we ourselves be continually risking our lives, facing death hour by hour? ³¹ For it is a fact that I face death daily; that is as true as my pride in your growth in the Lord.
