Was machen sonst, die sich taufen lassen über den Toten, so überhaupt die Toten nicht auferstehen? Was lassen sie sich taufen über den Toten?
De otro modo, ¿qué harán los que se bautizan por los muertos, si en ninguna manera los muertos resucitan? ¿Por qué pues se bautizan por los muertos?
De otro modo, ¿qué harán los que se bautizan por los muertos? Si los muertos no resucitan en absoluto, ¿por qué se bautizan por ellos?
Autrement, que feraient ceux qui se font baptiser pour les morts? Si les morts ne ressuscitent absolument pas, pourquoi se font-ils baptiser pour eux?
Altrimenti, che faranno coloro che son battezzati per li morti? se del tutto i morti non risuscitano, perchè son eglino ancora battezzati per li morti?
Doutra maneira, que farão os que se batizam pelos mortos, se absolutamente os mortos não ressuscitam? Por que se batizam eles então pelos mortos?
不然,那些為死人受洗的,能做甚麼呢?如果死人不會復活,為甚麼替他們受洗呢?
