Abstract
When discussing the subject of the resurrection of the dead in 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul alludes to apractice of the Corinthian Christians that he had heard about. This is baptism for the dead. This isolated reference by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:29, which is expressed with insufficient clarity, has led to many interpretive proposals in the history of exegesis. The closest explanation seems to be avicarious (vicariate) baptism, which members of the church community received for those who died unbaptized, so that these dead might receive the saving effect of baptism. We cannot entirely rule out, however, the possibility that some people were baptized out of affection or respect for deceased Christian relatives or friends who fervently desired their conversion and who prayed for them. These people consequently received baptism in the hope of ashared celebration at the resurrection. In the end, however, it has to be admitted that it is impossible to determine exactly what this baptism for the dead amounted to. The Apostle Paul, who does not describe it in detail and who provides no evaluation of it, mentions it only as an argument in favour of belief in the resurrection of the dead.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
