1 Corinthians 15:33

1 Corinthians 15:33

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.

37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.

38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind¹ of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

40 There are also¹ celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

42 ^aSo also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

43 ^aIt is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

Be not deceived (mh planasqe). Do not be led astray (planaw) by such a false philosophy of life.

Evil company (omiliai kakai). Evil companionships. Old word, omilia, from omilov (a crowd, gang, bunch). Only here in N.T. Good manners (hqh). Old word (kin to eqov) custom, usage, morals. Good morals here. This line of poetry (iambic) occurs in Menander. It may be a current proverb. Paul could have gotten it from either source.
