Exegesis
The article–participle construction hoi baptizomenoi {οἱ βαπτιζόμενοι | hoi bap-ti-zó-me-noi} functions substantively as “those who are being baptized,” with the prepositional phrase hyper tōn nekrōn {ὑπὲρ τῶν νεκρῶν | hy-pér tôn ne-krôn} expressing benefactive action for the dead.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:29
Otherwise, what will those do who are being baptized on behalf of the dead , if the dead are not raised at all? Why, then, are they also baptized for them?
