1 Corinthians 15:32-34
New English Translation
32 If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.[a] 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”[b] 34 Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame!
