Verses 12-19 seem to lay a foundation for this statement in my opinion. Therein is described a pointlessness of faith for Christians if there is no resurrection, for Christ would still be dead. If someone believes there is no resurrection and yet they were baptized as a believer in Christ, they would be "baptized for the dead," because Christ is the firstfruit of the resurrection.
