1 Corinthians 15:31-33
New Life Version
31 I say this, Christian brothers, I have joy in what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for you. That is why I face death every day. 32 As men look at it, what good has it done for me in the city of Ephesus to fight with men who act like wild animals? If the dead are not raised, we might as well be like those who say, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Do not let anyone fool you. Bad people can make those who want to live good become bad.

1 Corinthians 15:31-33
New International Version
31 I face death every day(A)—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts(B) in Ephesus(C) with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
33 Do not be misled:(E) “Bad company corrupts good character.”[b](F)
