1 Corinthians 15:32

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

In context

30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
