1 Corinthians 15:32-34
Worldwide English (New Testament)
32 I fought against wild animals at Ephesus. If I was thinking only of life on earth, why did I do this? If dead people do not rise, then we might just as well say, `Let us eat and drink because we will die tomorrow.'
33 Do not be fooled. `If good people keep company with bad people, the good people will become bad too.'
34 Wake up! Do what is right. Stop doing wrong things. Some of you do not know God at all. I say these things to you to make you ashamed.

1 Corinthians 15:32-34
New International Version
32 If I fought wild beasts(A) in Ephesus(B) with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
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)
