1 Corinthians 15:32-34
New Testament for Everyone
32 If, in human terms, I fought with wild animals at Ephesus, what use is that to me? If the dead are not raised, “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”!
33 Don’t be deceived: “bad company kills off good habits”! 34 Sober up; straighten up; stop sinning. Yes, some of you simply don’t know God! I’m saying this to bring shame on you.
