People's Commentary (NT)
I Corinthians 15:32 If after the manner of men. Speaking humanly. I have fought with beasts at Ephesus. Encountered furious opposition, like the rush of wild beasts. The allusion is hardly to be taken literally. If he had been thrown to wild beasts at Ephesus, some record would have been made of it in the record in Acts of his sojourn at Ephesus. Besides, a Roman citizen was preserved from that manner of death. What advantageth it me if the dead rise not? All his sufferings are to no purpose if the dead rise not. Let us eat and drink, etc. All Epicurean maxim, a proverbial saying.
