1 Cor 15:29-34 was written by someone who knows what it is like to wonder if this day might be their last day. Paul understands that whether one believes in the resurrection of the dead or not makes a huge difference for what they are willing to do for the gospel now. This short passage covers a number of ethical issues relating to loved ones who have died in Christ, risking our lives for the sake of the gospel, and personal sacrifice to love others. Indeed, what we believe regarding the resurrection of the dead will determine how we behave.
