1 Corinthians 15:32

30 And ^awhy do we stand in jeopardy every hour?

31 I affirm, by ^athe boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^bI die daily.

32 If, in the manner of men, ^aI have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, ^b“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

33 Do not be deceived: ^a“Evil company corrupts good habits.”

34 ^aAwake to righteousness, and do not sin; ^bfor some do not have the knowledge of God. ^cI speak this to your shame.

A Glorious Body

35 But someone will say, ^a“How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”

36 Foolish one, ^awhat you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

1 Corinthians 15:32

If to speak after the manner of men - That is, to use a proverbial phrase, expressive of the most imminent danger I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus - With the savage fury of a lawless multitude, Acts 19:29, etc. This seems to have been but just before. Let as eat, etc. - We might, on that supposition, as well say, with the Epicureans, Let us make the best of this short life, seeing we have no other portion.
