Context of 1 Corinthians 15:31
29Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them? 30Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour? Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die. 33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:31
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 31I protest by your rejoicing - ̔ · By your exaltation or boasting. Dr. Lightfoot understands this of "the boasting of the Corinthians against the apostle; that he considered himself continually trampled on by them; rejected and exposed to infamy and contempt; but that he took this as a part of the reproach of Christ; and was happy in the prospect of death and a glorious resurrection, when all those troubles and wrongs would terminate for ever."

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3131. by your rejoicing--by the glorying which I have concerning you, as the fruit of my labors in the Lord. Some of the earliest manuscripts and fathers read "our," with the same sense. Bengel understands "your rejoicing," to be the enjoyable state of the Corinthians, as contrasted with his dying daily to give his converts rejoicing or glorying (1Co 4:8; 2Co 4:12, 15; Ep 3:13; Php 1:26). But the words, "which I have," favor the explanation--"the rejoicing…Read the comment
