For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.

And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

Otherwise, what will those people do who are being baptized because of those who have died? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they being baptized because of them?
