## 1 Corinthians 15:29-32 in Context (Verses 26–35 KJV)
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/26) The last enemy *that* shall be destroyed *is* death.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/27) For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under *him, it is* manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/29) Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/30) And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/31) I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/32) If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/33) Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/34) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak *this* to your shame.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/35) But some *man* will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
 
[1 Corinthians 14](/kjv/1-corinthians/14) [1 Corinthians 16](/kjv/1-corinthians/16)
