1 Corinthians 15:32 in context
30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
