1 Corinthians 15:30

1 Corinthians 15:30 in Multiple Translations

And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

And why are we in danger every hour?

As for us, why do we place ourselves in danger hour after hour?

Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre?

why also do we stand in peril every hour?

Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

Why also are we in danger every hour?

Furthermore, if God will not cause us believers to become alive again, it is [RHQ] very foolish for me and the other apostles to be constantly putting ourselves in danger because we tell people the gospel.

And think about me and the other people that work with me. We tell everyone God’s message, and some people get angry with us and they want to kill us.

1 Corinthians 15:30 Summary

This verse, 1 Corinthians 15:30, asks a question about why the apostles would put themselves in danger every hour if there was no hope of resurrection. The answer lies in their conviction that the dead would be raised, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. Just like the apostles, we can face challenges and dangers with courage and hope, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). By trusting in the promise of resurrection, we can live with confidence and purpose, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:8.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to endanger ourselves every hour?

This phrase, found in 1 Corinthians 15:30, refers to the constant risks and challenges that the apostles and early Christians faced in their daily lives, as seen in 2 Corinthians 11:26, where Paul lists the many dangers he encountered as a servant of Christ.

Why would the apostles put themselves in harm's way if there was no hope of resurrection?

The apostles' willingness to face danger and death was rooted in their conviction that the dead would be raised, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:14, and that their labor in the Lord was not in vain, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:58.

How does this verse relate to the concept of baptism for the dead?

The question of baptism for the dead, mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:29, is connected to the idea that if there is no resurrection, then such practices would be meaningless, highlighting the importance of the resurrection in the early Christian faith, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:12-19.

What is the significance of the phrase 'every hour' in this verse?

The phrase 'every hour' emphasizes the constant and ongoing nature of the dangers faced by the apostles, as seen in 2 Corinthians 4:10-11, where Paul describes the daily pressure and care of serving the Lord.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I am putting myself in harm's way for the sake of the Gospel, and how can I trust God in those situations?
  2. How does the hope of resurrection shape my daily life and interactions with others, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14?
  3. In what ways can I, like the apostles, demonstrate a willingness to face challenges and dangers for the sake of Christ, as seen in Acts 5:40-42?
  4. How can I balance the reality of suffering and hardship in this life with the promise of eternal life and resurrection, as seen in Romans 8:18?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Corinthians 15:30

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?] Not only they that have suffered martyrdom for the faith of Christ, and for this article of it, have acted very injudiciously and indiscreetly; but we, also,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 15:30

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? We - apostles (1 Corinthians 15:9; 1 Corinthians 4:9).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:30

We are the veriest fools in nature, if there be no resurrection of believers unto life; for it is in the firm belief and hopes of that, that we are in danger of our lives, and all that we have, every hour of our lives.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:30

30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? Ver. 30. In jeopardy every hour] Carrying our lives in our hands, as both the Hebrews and Greeks phrase it, εντηχειριτηνψυχηνεχειν. (Athenseus.)

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:30

(30) And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?—This is the same kind of argument now applied to the Apostles themselves. Their conduct also would be illogical if they did not believe in a resurrection. Notice the strong contrast between “them,” in the previous verse, and “we” in this verse.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:30

Verse 30. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?] Is there any reason why we should voluntarily submit to so many sufferings, and every hour be in danger of losing our lives, if the dead rise not? On the conviction of the possibility and certainty of the resurrection, we are thus baptized for the dead. We have counted the cost, despise sufferings, and exult at the prospect of death, because we know we shall have a resurrection unto eternal life.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Corinthians 15:30

30. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?] Not only those who were daily being baptized for the dead witnessed to the universal belief among Christians in a resurrection, but the lives of daily peril in which St Paul and the other missionaries of the Gospel lived were sufficient evidence that they did not conceive all their hopes to be summed up in this life.jeopardy] Pereil, Wiclif. Jeoperty, Tyndal. This word is derived from the French jeu parti, drawn game. It is spelt jupartie by Chaucer, and is mentioned by Ben Jonson as one of three English words only in which the diphthong eo appears. The others are yeoman and people. Leopard was probably a trisyllable in his day. The other derivations, jeu perdu, given by Minsheu in his Ductor in Linguas, published in 1617, and j’ai perdu, seem less agreeable to the meaning of the word, which clearly indicates a position of the utmost danger, in which the chances for death and life are equal. Cf. Shakspeare’s “at the hazard of a die.”

Barnes' Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:30

And why stand we in jeopardy - Why do we constantly risk our lives, and encounter danger of every kind?
