1 Corinthians 15:32-34
The Voice
32 But if I have fought against the wild beasts in Ephesus for some human cause, then what good has that done me? If the dead are not raised, then there’s nothing more to do than—as the saying goes—eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[a]
33 But don’t be so naïve—there’s another saying you know well—Bad company corrupts good habits. 34 Come to your senses, live justly, and stop sinning. It’s true that some have no knowledge of God. I am saying this to shame you into better habits.

33 Do not be misled:(D) “Bad company corrupts good character.”[b](E) 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God(F)—I say this to your shame.(G)
