And do not ye become idolaters, as some of them did; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport."

And we are also found false witnesses concerning God; because we testified concerning God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if so be that the dead rise not.

If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?

If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come?
