the servants
1 Corinthians 3:5-9
5

1 Corinthians 15:12-34
12
Now, since our message is that Christ has been raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life?
13
If that is true, it means that Christ was not raised;
14
and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.
15
More than that, we are shown to be lying about God, because we said that he raised Christ from death---but if it is true that the dead are not raised to life, then he did not raise Christ.
16
For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is a delusion and you are still lost in your sins.
18
It would also mean that the believers in Christ who have died are lost.

For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ.
23
But each one will be raised in proper order: Christ, first of all; then, at the time of his coming, those who belong to him.
24
Then the end will come; Christ will overcome all spiritual rulers, authorities, and powers, and will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father.
25
For Christ must rule until God defeats all enemies and puts them under his feet.
26
The last enemy to be defeated will be death.
27
For the scripture says, "God put all things under his feet." It is clear, of course, that the words "all things" do not include God himself, who puts all things under Christ.
28
But when all things have been placed under Christ's rule, then he himself, the Son, will place himself under God, who placed all things under him; and God will rule completely over all.
29
Now, what about those people who are baptized for the dead? What do they hope to accomplish? If it is true, as some claim, that the dead are not raised to life, why are those people being baptized for the dead?
30
And as for us---why would we run the risk of danger every hour?
