Иначе, что делают крестящиеся для мёртвых? Если мёртвые совсем не воскресают, то для чего и крестятся для мёртвых?
Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?
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?
If the dead will not be raised, what point is there in people being baptized for those who are dead? Why do it unless the dead will someday rise again?
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?
Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?
Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
