1 Corinthians 15:32-34
Lexham English Bible
32 If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[a] 33 Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”[b] 34 Sober up correctly and stop sinning[c], for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
