Paul's subtle refrain "if the dead are not raised" occurs in vs.16, 29, 32. In this paragraph Paul is showing the difference the truth of our future bodily resurrection has made on a group in Corinth (v.29), and Paul and his team (v.30-32). Paul concludes the paragraph by telling the believers in Corinth that because the future resurrection is true, they must shun false teachers. Notice the pronouns alerting us to these 3 different groups: Vs.29: those, they (an unspecified group in Corinth that were practicing baptism for the dead) Vs.30-32: we, I (Paul and his missionary team) Vs.33-34: you (the Corinthian believers) Notice how the truth of a future resurrection impacted these groups: 1. The erroneous group in Corinth: although it is impossible to be certain of the meaning of "baptism for the dead", my guess is that there was a group in Corinth who were practicing proxy baptism for those who had died.(We have no knowledge of who these "dead" are, or what the baptism was supposed to effect.) Although their practice was faulty, their motivation was admirable. They were concerned for the salvation of others. Does our belief in resurrection give us the same concern? 2. Paul and his missionary team: because of their belief in a future resurrection, they were willing to face danger every hour, die daily, and even fight wild beasts (probably figurative for evil persecuting men). Does our belief in resurrection give us the same willingness to face danger and suffering for Christ? 3. The Corinthian believers: because of the truth of resurrection, Paul urges them to shun the company of false teachers who would lead them astray. Does our belief in resurrection cause us to shun the fellowship of those who do not believe in it?

Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead?
If the dead are not raised at all,
why then are they baptized for them?
conditional
ideaexplanation
Why are we also in danger every hour?
I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus,
what does it profit me?
If the dead are not raised,
LET US EAT AND DRINK,
FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

Do not be deceived:
"Bad company corrupts good morals."
Become sober-minded as you ought,
and stop sinning;
for some have no knowledge of God.
I speak this to your shame.
