1 Corinthians 15:31-33
New English Translation
31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as[a] my boasting in you,[b] which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 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.[c] 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”[d]
